Clean and Prepare to Paint

Before you start painting your bike wheels you should clean them as better as possible
If you leave dust and other dirt the painting result will be worse.
Add Masking Tape
![2014 20:41.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FR7/7EA8/HWNUB54X/FR77EA8HWNUB54X.jpg&filename=2014 20:41.jpg)

Start adding masking tape to the places that you don't want to paint or making paint lines,and other painting methods
I used mine to separate 3 different colors, the original wheel color,red and black one
You should add tape really carefully
Be Ready to Paint It

After insalling masking tape,first you'll have to shake your spary paint and start painting
Shake it about 30seconds before use
I used the black color first

Painting another parts of bicycle
I used magazine paper to " catch" unused spary so it wouldn't cause any mistake in painting
Painting Dynamo

After you have painted your wheel you have to wait for 15 minutes than check if you did any mistake during painting,if yes repaint them
Then wait for other 20-30 minutes and carefully start removing the masking tape
