paints on the tires

How do you remove spray paint on the sidewall?
I was lacking Blue tape when i was spray painting the rims. Got quite a bit of paints on the sidewall.
Thanks.

yes but be a little harder with sandpaper or fine steel wool would work. Scotch brite is like the green part on the back of a sponge just a little rougher. You can find them at any local automotive store or home depot or lowes..

Scotch bright is always handy to have around atleast for me it is.

Just throw some gasoline on that **** and wipe it off with a rag. Or soak the rag in gas and wipe off. Just dont get it on your wheel


Or just get flat black paint and spray over it lol

What do you mean gas doesnt sound so nice? that would prob work fine too take a rag and dump it in some gas and wipe your tire down with it.. You make everything a lot harder than it has to be.

idk why you dont listen and just go get scotch brite its a dollar and will take you 30 seconds a tire then your done.. http://www.lowes.com/SearchCatalogDi...t=scotch+brite
