On my utility trailer, the rims are beginning to show rust on the outside edge. I want to knock off the rust and paint the rims. I plan to remove the wheels because they are likely the same on the inside.
Obviously, I don't want to get paint on the tires. I thought about putting oil on the tires so any paint that got on them wouldn't stick and could be wiped off. But I don't know if the oil would be bad for the tires.
Any suggestions on a better way to do this, other than taking them to a tire shop and having the tires removed and then remounted after painting?
Thanks, Bob-tx
