Minimizer’s Tire Mask Kit

May 8, 2014

Minimizer’s user-friendly Tire Mask Kit is designed to allow heavy-duty truck owners and operators and maintenance departments to paint wheels in a few steps while reducing masking and cleanup time.

The kit comes with a tire mask built to protect tires from paint and primer overspray; the mask installs on the outside of the rim, covering the tire. Options include a rim shield and hub cap protector.

Minimizer also recently implemented the Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standard system for its line of fenders and other products. For more information, go to www.minimizer.com.
