Painting tractor wheels

[DrDunc]

Remove and spray when laying flat?

Mask the tyre, spray in position, and to hell with runs?

Who's done what to tart up their wheels?

 

[Joe S]

always sprayed them standing up swarfega on the tyres will wash off easier than masking off. Don't leave it too long before washing it off.

What colour?

Valtras look smart with black rims in my opinion. Overspray wouldn't be so much of a issue!

Aye black. Mine was on a hedge cutter before I bought it, rims are currently cream with thousands of little brown rust spots.

Maybe this winter.......

Black would be fine if you were a spotty faced teenager @DrDunc !

IMO the off white wheel colour makes a Valtra look “cleaner”.

A fine match perhaps with a Grassmen sticker in the front windscreen, a number plate with either the Farm name or the driver’s name incase they forget where they work or their name!! A chrome exhaust cover, LED beacon bars to make it look like you are working for the cooncil and any other shite deemed necessary to make it look like a chav chariot.

Just standing up , I don’t even mask tyres at all last ones managed without any over spray at all.

Oh....

So you've not seen the led worklamps, beacons, lightbars, aerials, and stainless heat shields that I've put on it already

If I can't be a teenager any more, at least I can show them how it's done properly

 

[Tomr10]

Get a space heater if doing in the cold

Dare I ask what sort of cost that was? Ballpark would be fine.

For a quick tidy up, I get a section of cardboard and cut a curve along it to match the curve of the rim. Then hold it tight to the edge of the rim while I go round with the spray gun
