Default write up on painting rims with lip

To start I'm only doing this because i thin it came out a lot better than just masking them
i started with a let of Ls mesh wheels and this was dime just to see if it would work better.
I masked off the lip first but it's hard to keep the line strait so.....things needed paint and primer I used rusto x2 ultra cover paint and primer in one. Blur scotch painters tape lighter and rims making this faster everyone knows to prep the rim for paint -clean, scuff, ckean.
back to it I masked off the lip I didn't want painted and masked past the bevel don'thave to me strait I just wanted the lip now you have tape over the lip and the 45 slant that blends to the spokes. Took the lighter because Iit's hard plastic and rounded and used the side of it (bic worked best bc its all rounded) but use the less rounded sides not front where flame is or back where button is. Rub it aroind the tape on the hard line from lip to 45. Cuts the tape perfect. Peel off the extra i inly hav a rew pics i will post and mind you i didnt care about these and skipped the clean skuff ect. These are old beat extras.now if you want to 2tone them insides of spokes and lip one color and vace another same thing but pInt the rim first then mask the face cit with lighter on edges of spokes peal the extra tape pInt another color and peel the tape again i will go back and fix this later posting from phone on break

Are you saying that you consider what you wrote a write up?
