[Roadsters] overspray on rubber parts

[Vince Strazzabosco]

I just finished painting some wheels that have tires on them, and despite my attempts at masking them, there is silver overspray on the sidewalls.  I am going to cover up the edges of the wheels, and expect that acetone (use it in a well ventilated area or outside) will take it off easily.

Hope this helps,

vince
