Hi All----previous owner of my 49 8N tried touching up surface rust areas on the rear wheels to get it "seller" ready.

Unfortunately, he neglected to mask the brand new tires very well, and there is a nice "mist" covering of Ford Gray paint all over the sides of the tires.

Does anyone have an idea of what I could use to get the paint off without ruining the tires?

Thanks---Tim

On reason to remove the paint. Just go use the tractor, run your bush hog, do some dirt work, plow and the paint will be gone.

Black tire paint (Miller's tires - e-bay) works pretty well.

I heard a long time ago that WD-40 does a good job at removing over spray..... I bet you got a can laying around somewhere.... a soft scruffy pad and Wd-40....along with a beer sounds like the way to go at it.

One more, and least attractive idea, you could swap the tires from side to side. Not the wheels just the tires. That would put the overspray on the inside where it would be less noticeable. If you scuff the tires too much it may still be necessary.

Mine wheels were terrible when I got it.
Like it was done in the wind or something.
I put the brush attachment on my drill and it took it right off and beat scrubbing by hand.

Hope this helps,
Chad

Its the flat kind, looks kinda like a flower. (sorry for the bad description)
I had to run the drill front to back parallel with the tractor front to back so the side of the attachment hit the tire- make sense?
I didn't run it with heavy pressure against the tire - not that I was worried about scuffing it cause my tires have scuffs already, but it seemed to work better.
The drill I used was an old 12v Black and Decker that had seen better days, so it wasn't anything special.
Hope it works for ya if ya try it.
-Chad

Just about any abrasive will scuff the tires, however i have had good luck with a plastic pot scrubby.. not the square fiberglass scratchy pads.. but the ones more like the things you take bugs off windoes and plastic noses of cars.

Most chemicals may mar the tire.

Last option is to wash real well with detergent.. then paint with tire black.
