im stuck

[aidanh1]

right guys you all no about the cool spring cover using a tyre and it looks awsome but i need like a design or a way of spray painting the tyre and i cant use a template because the tyre isnt flat and the sprint is bent so does anyone have any idea how i can spray my tyres?

[Bbmthbloke]

cant you take them off again and then paint and replace. Maybe lightly nail down the tyre to a block of wood  or to a wall.

What sort of paint desin were you thinking of? Will help with sugestions

[aidanh1]

i was thinking of either a very simple flame or like a pattern like swivey and yes i cna take the tyre off but it already has a natural curve in the rubber and i want to keep the tred of the tyre as it looks preety good

Use a paper template 

[aidanh1]

ive tryed DK but wen u trya nd put it on the spring the paper wither rips or juat moves the shape about and its really annoying

[Dark Knight]

Make a cardboard template from the paper one 

[aidanh1]

ive tryed tht too cardboard is to hard to cut with my stanley knife and dosent bend well to my spring

DK ive tried every template method there is to try

[sprog]

How is cardboard too hard for a stanley knife to cut?

Make it out of something like a plastic bag so its more flexible than the paper (wont rip as easily), and conforms to the shape of the spring. Or use masking tape and make the shape you want using that and stick it to the tyre, and cover the rest with tape or paper so it doesnt get paint on it.

the tyre isnt flat!!!!

a bag wudnt work bcause it too would move the shape around

and the tape wont stick properly to my tyre
