Tire or the rim ?alex92 said:
Maybe a white posca to cover the metal underneath ?
Otherwise check out a signwritting joint as they have some pretty robust stickers that I'm sure will do the trick if thats all your after.
White paint stripped off Wheel
Hey guys,
My front tyre has a strip probably about 15cm long and 3cm wide where the white paint has been stripped off.. The wheel isn't cracked or anything so its not dangerous or anything.
There was a strip of white tape over it, which made it very very hard to see unless you look at it from 20cm away. I took the tape off to make sure there weren't any cracks underneath, and as a result the tape cracked, as it must have been there for a while and turned hard.
Don't have time for stripping, priming, sanding and re-painting the wheel so is there any other quick fix for this? (I may do this in uni holidays IF I have time and IF i can be bothered and IF it's not too expensive) Or should I just get some more white tape?
Also, the tape that was on there was very wide (wider than most white masking tapes that I could fine) and it was completely flat (as opposed to masking tape which has the small bubbles on it).. Does anyone know where I can get this tape?
Cheers

Otherwise if you have the time and money, definitely polish those rims.
There should be a thread on rim polishing, otherwise just search google for a comprehensive guide.
Basically mask off the ares you want to keep paint on.
Apply paint stripper.
Remove paint stripper and paint.
Use fine wet n dry to remove remaining paint.
Keep going finer and finer with the paper grades until you have a nice smooth surface.
Use a fairly heavy cutting agent and begin to polish the rim.
Move to finer grades of polish until you have a beautiful polished rim
