If you were planning on putting on different tires would you paint the rim before or after mounting the tires?

Before you get paint on the new tire,after you can scratch your new paint?

Dismount the tires, paint the rims, mount the new ones. If you use plenty of lube you shouldn't scratch the rims.

All rims are painted on the inside at the factory and if the paint has started to go bad, and if any moisture has gotten in between tire and rim, it will have started going bad so you need to get any bad paint or rust off and resurface the metal with new paint to keep the rims from rusting more, now if the rims are good and tire not dismounted just for good color on outside then paint with tires on.

I like to blast and paint the rims first. Let them dry then mount the tires. If you are carefull you don't need to touch them up. Use some tire lube on the beads and I put some tire talc in the tire and on the rim so the tubes don't stick.

Or you could mount the new tires spread vasalene around the tire next to the beads ,the over spray won't stick then just wipe off.

If I was doing that again, then I'd break them down, sandblast the wheels, prime them, and then coat with an epoxy paint. I like the epoxy because it stands up to CaCl and manure, and most of these wheels see lots of manure... The epoxy is hard enough that it stands up to tire bars without marking. Only downside is that you may need to work on the right colors. My Fords have white wheels, so that's fairly easy. It's rather expensive too, but it is a good solid coating.
Know what you mean about installing wet too. I'd blasted, repaired and painted some wheels several years ago, and they got their last coat of enamel from a rattle can in the lot at the tire shop while the first was being mounted..... Twas a bit tacky..... Good luck. PS. The tractor is looking good.

I mount the tires after painting. I mount them from the back side so the tool marks are less visible. I then touch up the marks before seating the beads... Gene

Dunno,

If it were I and if the tires weren't loaded, I'd work the rims down first, swap out the tires, then mask 'em off and paint.

I paint the lugs separate and re-assemble the whole shootin' match after the paint is dry.

Just cannot stand to see paint on a tire. :>)

You mean to tell me that the paint is suppose to be dry to put things back together? (:~})

Just laughing cause seemed like every thing we worked on at the weld shop was on a deadline to get done,and we were always loading wet parts to meet the deadline.

Allan check your mail.

I think I would paint the rims first, and then mount the tires. If the rims get scratched, you can do a little touch-up. A lot easier than trying to remove paint from those brand new tires.

No personal experience with painted rims. At the factory the tires were mounted after spray painting, I'm sure. I would mount tires after painting and would use some soft material between tire iron and rim and would accept some touch up being required ;-( Had my rims sandblasted and hot dip galvanized. Obviously mounted the tires AFTER the surface treatment ;-)

Had it done at an industrial galvanizing shop, which normally treats all kinds of steel structures, both large and small. Would be pleased to give you the address, but I'm afraid you are not interested in the address of this facility in The Netherlands. It cost US$ 120 for four rims of my Super A (sand blasting not included). The sand blasting should be done very thoroughly. Rust is not so much of a problem since that will be etched off but remains of paint are detrimental.
Bear in mind that rims were originally electroplated with zinc; not hot dip galvanized. The latter is more durable.

I have done it bnoth ways. I really prefer to get the rim sand blasted and painted first. The last set of rears that I had mounted were done at a tire shop and the dealer used a power tool to mount them. only had a couple of small scratches to touch up.

Hi folks. I replaced a rim last summer and painted the newly completed assembly, then let it dry several days. Last summer was good for drying things if you remember. Then had the tire remounted, turned out great. Remember you have to be very careful with the tire bead and not damage it anyway.
