Can anyone tell me how to remove paint from my tires? I coated them with vaseline, but I guess the paint got onto parts of the tire where I thought I coated it with vaseline, so there's random paint spots. Ive read how to remove it in some guides on how to paint your rims, but I can't find them.

I was painting some wheels a little while ago and got some paint on the tires. I uses some Acetone and it got all the paint off with no problem.

You can get Acetone at Wal-Mart in the paint section.

 

Acetone or Laquer thinner works better.

 

easiest solution. Run the tires a little low on air and just drive it on a back road that way its safe and the tires sidewall will flex a lot. The paint cant flex and will crack and chip off.

you seriously think doing all that is easier than getting acetone and going at the wheels for a few mins?

 

yeah pffft just use aceptone(paint thinner)

 

steel wool

 

Is it oil or latex?

get some paint thinner...

pick it up at any paint store..

 

GASOLINE, although these days acetone might be cheaper

hahahahahahaha risk "rims"??? Not ******* NO air you tool. If you run the tires about 15 lbs low... the tires will flex and you will NOT be risking "rims". You aren't ******* backroading and turning hard and **** so you're not risking "rims"... And if he just painted his WHEELS not ******* "rims"... Acetone is not a good idea to have near fresh paint. Lets try talking about **** we know about dumbass. I have done this MANY times with no risk to wheels.
I suppose steel wool would also work well... Good luck

 

stick a knife in the tire it always works
