Super neat job! :thumbsup:
You might consider using a very small piece of sponge to blot some red paint onto those raised scorpions. :wink:

I cheat. I buy about 3' of 6" aluminum flashing from the lumber yard, tape it into a hoop that just fits onto the rim, to protect the tire, and spray. It saves about an hour of masking, as you move it from wheel to wheel. After, just un-tape the flashing and store it under your bench for the next time.
If you need graphics, let me know, but it really is simple...
I used a cheap deck of playing cards. I have pictures in my garage. a friend told me about it. I like the flashing idea too.
+1 on doing something with the scorpions. maybe black would work too.
