Think it's for the paint to absorb better to the rims...Originally posted by phobian@Jan 26 2004, 04:34 PM
out of curiousity, whats the purpose of skimming the rims? and normally if u spray rims, do they take the tyre out or with it while spraying?
So that the paint appear smooth and nice..
As for spraying, normally ppl take out the rims so that they won't accidentally spray to other parts of the car. That's why tyre shops are giving customer temporary rims to use for their car while their rims are being prepared. ;)
Just my 2 cents...
