   Lol looks good, I normally put a black bin bag over the wheel and tie the ends, then cut a hole out of the top and tuck the edges of the hole into the tyre wall. Easy peasy and does the job perfectly!

    Paint the tyre with washing up liquid.
    Then once the paint is dry on the wheel it rinse off with a hose pipe.
