I got a set of tires from a friend. They're not bad and I'd like to use them BUT at some point someone (my friend) spilled paint on the tires. I am sure I will wear off the paint on the threads, but there is some on the sidewall.
Is there a safe way to take that off without compromising the rubber in the tire? It's home paint, not automotive grade. TIA |

Curbs, I use curbs.....
Works every time.. Ditto the break fluid but be sure to clean it off after the paint is gone. Keep away from the wheels if they have paint..... |
