Overspray on the tires

55 Guy · Aug 20, 2009

Any secrets on how to remove overspray on the tires? Appears that most of it is primer. Paint thinner is working but is extremely time consuming.

MEK , aircraft stripper or any automotive grade stripper AND thick rubber gloves AND plenty of patience. Very thin coat should wrinkle the overspray but also anything else painted that it touches (see "patience" above)

yea make sure you wear gloves. Got aircraft stripper on my arm once and ate some of my skin until i got it washed off. Water nuetralizes and makes it harmless it which is a big plus

Lacquer thinner on a rag. 30 mins or so after paint is shot. Takes me about 10 minutes to clean up 2 rear and 2 front tractor tires. Of course I start out by getting as little paint as possible on the tire.

past that.. laq thinner on a rag.. and keep it of fthe fresh paint..
