Hey All,
Can you buy tyre protectors (14" rims) rather than masking off or using newspaper which I find impossible?
I end up using tyre paint to cover up the silver spray!!!
Cheers.
Not sure if this is what you meant by tyre protectors but loved the idea & think playing cards can be bought fairly cheaply

Have a look( last page) see what you think 
You can sand off overspray from tyres, or use claybar. Some will use playing cards as a mask.
Guys,
That. Is. Genius!!
2 house points each. Well done. 
PM me your address and i will post you four 
You will have to let the tyres down to fit them . But the whole tyre will be masked.
I just seen this and think it’s great as I’m giveing a set of daisy alloys a fresher look on Friday
Paint the tyres with washing up liquid, washes off with the overspray after painting
