- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2021
- I go through the entire process of how to spray paint wheels gloss black I bought these wheels on Ebay for a steal for the Polo project and with a little bit of effort I will turn these wheels from a dull silver finish to a stealth glossy finish for much less than it would cost if you got the wheels refurbished by someone else I hope this video is helpful

*I FORGOT TO SHOW THE LAST COAT PUT ON THREE COATS OF CLEARCOAT FOR THE BEST RESULTS!!* 👌
How many can did you use in total for the Primer, Paint, and Gloss coz i could guess how much it would Cost Myself
I'm not sure exactly as its been a long time since I did this job if you've a look at the description I've got all the items and quantities used in that 😁
Question though Iv got no issues spraying a set of rims but how to get them properly dry so they don't end up soft
You don't spray in very humid areas and you follow the instructions for allowing them to dry per coat as suggested by your cans instructions
Watched loads of these videos, this one is by far the best step by step process for a DIY'er doing it at home!
Hi B B thank you that's what I was going for the first version wasn't as clear so tried to make sure this one was
Beautiful job. Nice to see someone take the time to get the back of the wheels, too.
It takes a bit longer but the results are amazing, thanks for the nice words Thom hope your well
dude thank you for this video! I want black wheels for my ILX and my dad suggested we spray paint the metallic ones I have now. Had no idea they could turn out this nice! Super excited now. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching the video don't forget to put on three coats of 2k clear for bodyshop results 😊
Wow! This looks smooth and clean! Great work and finish my G!
Thanks bro 👏
Man I’ve painted plenty of wheels and tried different techniques but after watching this video I definitely did the set I just painted the best. It was my first time sanding the primer and using 2k clear gloss and I can’t believe how good they came out! Thank you for the tips!
That is such a nice compliment bro I'm glad this video was of some use I remember when I painted my current wheels on my VW its crazy to think how long that's been and how wheels can make or break the look of a car 😀
I just did mine. And the paint scratched off. What do u think I did wrong?
1) Normal things that cause this are skipping the prep of sanding the wheel or 2) the most common using cheap 1k clearcoat which isn't as durable as the 2k bodyshops use and the one I used in this video proxl or 3) not putting three coats of clearcoat did you do any of those?
@THE_JOURNEY I did sand. I used 2k clear coat. I think I may have only did 2 coats. 😪🤦🏾♀️
How are ur rims holding up? I may have to get mine done professionally.
Sand well, 3 coats of primer, sand lightly with 800 grit to flatten the primer, 3 coats of paint and then 3 coats of 2k clear. My wheels are holding up well not sure how long it's been since I installed them 😊 the first time painting can be a bit hit and miss I had similar issues when I painted my first panel and used 1k clearcoat but now if I paint a panel even with cans you'll find it hard to guess whether it was a can or spray gun job it's all a practice thing and once you've done it once as long as you follow the steps and you use good products for example like proxl 2k you'll get amazing results the amount of people that have reached out or sent me pictures of their wheels it's fascinating
Yo Dude, RESPECT patience and care and superb result for simple planning preparation and diligence. Thank you. About to do 16" VW Crafter Van conversion and need the look before the new tyres are worn out so this is s great Stealth Bomber look for a fraction of the price........thank you for your presentation and hard work. Brian & Anna. x
Hello Brian thank you for the kind feedback I know the Van is going to look amazing for the best results don't forget to throw on three coats of 2K clear ❤️
They look FRESH. Great job 👍
Thanks Nigel its so strange how changing something so small can make such a drastic change to a cars look put them on this weekend and I was pleasantly surprised at the difference 😀
Looks so good man! I am going to do this for my wheels!

Thanks! 😀
Very nice video!
Thanks Max thank you for the lovely feedback 😊
I may never do that, but it’s a great idea!
👍
Beautiful job cheers
Hey Darryl thanks for the kind feedback 😀
I never sanded the primed stage. It makes sense thanks.
I always wondered why the gloss black looked matt 🤔 😄 🤣
I remember getting exactly the same thing when I done my first panel numerous times, ended up reaching out to a bodyshop just to find out why I couldn't get my gloss 😲🤣
looks awesome 🤘 just got some used alloys with a really bad rookie paint job🤣☠ for dirt cheap😃 cant wait to sand em and do it right💪
Thank you Jakk Batt, crazy to think how such a small thing can make the car look so cool, nothing better than getting some wheels really cheap and doing a little refurb have a good time 😀
@@The_journeyy what did you use the scotch brite to do? I don’t see it used in the video
Just to further scuff the wheels in those tight spots my 400 grit sandpaper might not have been able to reach sorry about the slow reply 😊
ob😊t
Wheels looking sweeet
That sounds amazing :D
excellent job on the rims, found your video as i was looking for the best way to do it, a bonus thing is you have the list of whats needed right there too, now is that list for all 4 wheels ?
Hi there Aceslong thanks for the feedback and yeah that's my list to do all four wheels yours might be the same or slightly different depending on your alloy size
I'm running on the original VW 185/R60/15 hope that helps 😄
Looks great! God bless!
Thank you mate appreciate the kind words 👏
Great job , u done awesome 👌👏👍
Thank you bro just trying you know 💯
Fantastic job
Thank you mate 😊
@@The_journeyy its just not about how pristine them wheels looked like after the fantastic job but you also guided us through the right steps bit by bit and sticks in our mind
I'm gonna do mines too hopefully near as good as yours.
Thank you again
This was amazing and i rarely comment or like
I appreciate the feedback bro thank you 👏
Great work! A great video as well! Do you recommend any specific brands of gloss black or clear that you have found to work better than others?
Thank you, not any specific gloss blacks the one I used is one mixed by local autobody shop
the clear I'd recommend proxl 2k clear the results are like professional booths hope that helps 😁
Good 👍 I'm going to do mine .
Hi Bigfist255 I'm glad you're have fun its well worth it👏
Lovely tutorial and great finish to the job. Not sure if it's a branding issue, but it would have been nice to show all the spray materials you used.
Thanks for the lovely feedback all the materials used are in the description of the video
Nice work just ordered all the products planning to do it on my amg wheels let’s see how is that gonna go 😂
Hi Enea that's great you'll see how easy it is look forward to hearing back from you I really enjoy when people tell me/show me how great their new wheels look 😀
Wow! Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent!
Thank you 👏
Great video mate, I’m planning to spray my silver alloys black.
Do I need to rub all the silver paint off back to the metal first?
Thanks!
Thank you mate appreciate the feedback and you don't need to rub all the paint off you just have to rub it down until the surface is no longer shiny and looks Matte
This is an excellent video, thank you so much! I completed the above on my BMW F20 and they look amazing. Only thing is, when I put my lug nuts back on, the wheel brace touches the inside and scrapes very easily and can see the old paint underneath. Is this common?
Hello Jason I'm glad it looks good and wow on the F20 that is a beautiful car and yeah it can be best way to not have that is to make sure you put 3x coats of clear on and use a good 2k clearcoat I realised after I released the video it only shows me doing 2x coats of clear but it's actually 3x coats for best results so I pinned a comment saying about that in the description hope that helps 😁
Hi great job on the wheels.
Im going to be doing my wheels soon on my corsa e, in black. Would be ok to put on 4 coats of black when spraying the wheels?
Then once they are dry four coats of clear lacker so it will last longer.
Thanks for the feedback if your putting on your colour and it looks like you've not got great coverage then yeah you can put on another coat of black. if you use good products you shouldn't need to put on four coats of clearcoat. For bodyshop results use 2k clearcoat three coats of that and your wheels will be shining and durable 😄
How’re things man, I sprayed mine, similar finish to yours. Can I simply sand prime and respray flaked spots ? Or would I be better scrapping it all and removing it. It’s only on 1/2 slots where the alloy meets the tyre
Hey Luke, that is one way you could do it yeah or another method is you could give it a light sand with 2000 grit touch it up with some touch paint using a brush and then clear. I've curb mine so will be making a video next showing how I touch them up using that method 😁
Made me confident to refurbish my alloy factory wheels, ive been wanting to, i just wonder, how long do you think the paint will last?
It will last as long as the typical bodyshops last if the work is done without skipping steps 😁
Such question. I don´t want to paint wheels. I want to paint a plastic figure black. If I just spray Mr Aerosol Gloss Black directly whithout any applying any white or grey primers, will I get the same black mirror effect?
You need to get paints suitable for plastic and yes the result can be reproduced if the job is done correctly
Great job how many black paint and primer bottles need for four wheels?
I'm not sure dude have a look at the description I've got the list there and quantities hope that helps 😁
Fantastic job just wondering do you paint the inside of the rim
Thank you and yes on this job I painted the inside as well 😊
Plan on doing this shortly but two wheels at a time since I don’t have that many jsckstabds
I think for most people it's like that as well I've only got two jacks too it's going to come out looking great 👏
Would I be able to do one wheel at a time with my car jacked? I don’t have a way to get all 4 wheels off at the same time
No reason why you can't it will just take a little longer 😄
I have dark gray rims on my car I want to make them black should I still do the gray primer ?
A light grey primer would still be good mine were silver I used a grey primer which wasn't that much lighter than my silver hope that helps
Great job 👏, just tell me name of the gloss black paint you used please

What are the things required for that. Can you please list it down with quantity thanks.
These rims I painted in this video are 15 inch rims all the items I used are in the description that might give you an idea of how much you might need for yours hope that helps
Nice Excellent job! I would like to do the same thing on my truck wheels but I have a question 🙋🏻♂️ is the paint and shine permanent when the process it’s done or does it fade away ? 🤔
Hello Hector if done correctly the results are like the bodyshop mine still gloss like the first day they were finished hope that helps 😄
Thanks that’s very helpful 👍🏻
@@hectorjr5128 do a clear coat when you’re done and maintain it by not taking your car we’re they use scrubs.
Quick question bro. You put 3 coat of aresol black spray in your video but mention 2 in the the description. Do u buy 3 or 2 . And is there a specific order you spray them in or do u just pick one can and start with that as the first coat
I used two cans of each bottle so 2 cans of the black paint, 2 cans of primer and so on
When you paint the tyre you'll need to do
3 coats of primer first then
3 coats of black paint and then
3 coats of clear
The order is primer, paint, and then clear coat hope that helps 😀
Nice Job.....As for the comment regarding sanding before Clear coat, its a myth and is a wasted step. The best way to prevent Lacquer peel is to Clear coat within 30 minutes of of your last coat of colour, especially if your paint has laid well. The tacky paint will help the adhesion process and prevent peel.
Hi David thanks for the feedback, Agreed on the sanding before clear coat. I usually wait one hour before throwing on the clear do you think that's too long?
@@The_journeyy Yes, you need to clear coat whist the colour is still tacky to touch. Personally I SET A 20 minute timer after laying the colour and then I clear coat.
I will keep that in mind thanks for the advice
@@davidlundrigan1435 how many times did you clear coat? do i set a 30 minute timer between two clear coats ?
@@davidlundrigan1435how many clear coats did u do? Like a cleae coat after every black color coat?

Hey man after im done puttin on the last clear coat, how long should I wait before putting on my car
You could put it on a few hours after it's dried but personally I like to leave it overnight and then put it on the car
So what all spray paint cans do you need? Which type
Hi Kevin have a look at the description you'll see all the products I used
Hey man they’re beautiful. I plan on doing this in the spring time when I change my brakes out. How long did the process take in total?
Hello Cyrus thank you, it depends on your environment where your spraying. I did mine when it was like 19 degrees outside in my Gazebo.
Started around 10 and finished around 6 the spraying of the coats is quick its the drying times that add up. If I had a nice warm garage and a heat gun I could have halfed the time hope that helps 😊
Excellent job. Could you list all the paint and sand paper required please.
Ive never done anything like this what should i look out for and any tips?
Tips I would advice is don't forget to apply three coats of clearcoat

And how long will this paint job last with its glossy finish?
Same as the bodyshops
Yeah!!!
👏👏
I've always wondered can you spray color one day and the gloss the next day or even days later, and if so does it need a key to stick?? Or can you just make sure the wheel is clean and apply the clear coat?? Thanks.
Yeah you can leave the clearcoat for another day or whenever your ready but it will need keying with 800 grit before throwing on the clear
Thank you for your reply, much appreciated, and if painting the same day, an hr after the last color coat has been applied the colour doesn't need a key with 800 grit?? Thanks again.
On the same day if its an hour later or a little bit earlier you can go straight ahead and start your clearcoat without needing to key it with 800 grit

Great video man! Just got done with mine! Are they good to put back on the car the day after or how long is the curing process/how long should you keep them away from the elements?
-B
That's amazing to hear it really does depend on a lot of different factors one of them being where you did the job and the temperature in that area I personally left mine until the following day because I painted them in 17 degree weather and I don't have a paint booth to bake them in for 30 minutes if the temperature was good in your area and its a nice hot day they could be ready to go back on in about 2-4 hours but for me personally I always leave them until the following day 😀
@@The_journeyy wow thanks for your quick response. It was nearing 95 degrees when I finished mine up yesterday, so I think I will be good by the end of today. 🙏
Wow that's incredibly hot weather and also great for drying I agree with your assessment 👍
how many days do you have to wait to go to the carwash?
When you paint a car or your wheels you don't take the car to the car wash for two to three months the pressure ruins paint if its not fully cured and set which takes a while you just wash it normally by hand with soapy water and a typical sponge sort of thing 😁

Do u wet the sandpaper when ur sanding after primer just about to start doing a set of wheels myself
Hi Milno1996 yes I did wet the sandpaper when I was sanding the primer. That sounds amazing if you get a chance after your finished send me some pictures of your amazing results 😁
@@The_journeyy I will do that my man thank for the help
Quick question does it matter how long you leave it after the last primer? Because you said leave it over night before using the 800
Yes it matters how long you leave it if you don't let the primer dry properly and you said it the results will not be very good. You don't have to leave it over night like me that's just a preference of mine depending on your location and the temperature in your painting environment if the primer is dry after 1 hour or whatever timescale you can sand it as a bare minimum I'd leave my primer to dry for a few hours if it was a hot day and then sand with the 800 if its a colder day more hours
@@The_journeyy I wish I can show you my results. Thanks to you. My tires look magnificent
I've got email feel free to send over some pictures reginald71993@gmail.com glad your results come out as good as mine ☺️
i got similar wheels, how many cans of spray paint, primer and clear coat did you need so i know how many to order
Can't remember the exact quantities it's been a while since I did this job the whole list of items used and quantities is in the video description 😊

Just come across this video and am looking to paint mine how many cans did you use for all 4 wheels and what paint did you use brand wise ?
The brand is called Mr Aerosol if you look at the description got all the quantities and items used hope that helps 😄

Did you wet the 800grit sandpaper when sanding the primer or dry?
I did slightly but it's not a must
Ok thanks! 🙏🏼
Hey there, can I ask how many cans of each do you need for all four wheels? Thanks
Sorry just found it all in description 😁
Hi there glad you found it was just about to answer the question but I've just seen this 😊
No worries hope that helps 😊
54k you know, my G!!!
Its crazy because I didn't expect any of these videos to get more than two views I'm grateful for the responses over 45k views a month I can't wait to see what we will be doing in the next 10 years 👏
What's the point in the last process using the cutting compound? Finished my wheels and darent use the compound in case it removes the laqueer!
The point is it just makes it shine more but that's just me wanting silly gloss the wheels didn't even need that after I finished they were beautiful! I waisted 48 hours before just buffing them with the pad and 2k is very durable it won't come off but tbf its not really needed
@@The_journeyy thank you they came out great. Top man!
There's nothing I love hearing more than when people tell me they got the same results I did thank you for reaching out 🔥
Wicked video bro👌🏼 I've got a can of E-tech alloy wheel lacquer and the instructions on it recommend to sand down the paint with 1200 wet sand or the lacquer might not stick well. Do you think that step is necessary? Thanks bro
Thanks bro 😊 yeah I would say its a must give it good adhesion it will make the job look tidy and not starting peeling hope that helps
@@The_journeyy No worries 👌🏼If I was to use a 2k lacquer I'm guessing I wouldn't have to do that step? I don't believe this e-tech lacquer is 2k even tho it's made specifically for alloys.
If you was using 2k you would have to do the same thing, 2k is much more durable than 1k but I'm guessing since what your using is for wheels it should be very durable 👌👌
@@The_journeyy Ah wicked 🙂 Nice one bro, appreciate the quick responses 👊🏼
No worries bro if you ever have any other questions just drop me a message 👊👏
How long does primer have to dry
It depends on your environment and how hot or cold it is where your spraying. I spray mine outside with the the temperature around 17 to 20 degrees left it like 15-30 minutes to dry. If I was in a hot garage I could have left it for 5-10 minutes

when you finally removed the plastic and masking tape did you use a blade or a knife to score. or did you just peel it off?
I'm not getting the question mate you a knife to score what? Once the job was done I just peeled the masking tape off and the plastic of and that was job done hope that helps 😊
@@The_journeyy sorry I was assuming the paint was so thick it left like a layer. It happens with acrylic based pants. You can to score the masked area otherwise you risk peeling off the painted area but that's applied with a brush. Just wanted to make sure I didn't have to do that with the spray can. Also how long did you leave between the primer coats
Top coats
Lacquer coats
Sorry for all the questions 🤦♂️ it all goes down tomorrow for me and I keep thinking I might miss a step
First time I've heard of that issue I didn't have any issues like that I just prepped my area properly masked up and got to work. Left it a day after the primer went on but I could have waited just a few hours if I liked
I left it an hour after the final paint coats and then one hour between the clearcoats I've had many people get in contact on instagram showing me their awesome results judging by the sounds of things you know a thing or two about painting so it should be a walk in the park for you 😄
@@The_journeyy one last question, I'm having problems getting 800grit wet sand paper, I've got 1200 and 600. Which would you use?
No worries mate you can ask as many questions as you like, have you tried Ebay or Amazon? Or like a local shop paint shop near you? If your referring to sanding the primer after its cued I'd say the 1200 if your really not able to get 800 grit probably better than using nothing if you use nothing you just won't have as good a gloss
meticulously done. nice
Hi Brian thank you for the kind words 👏
Do u do wheel works for other cars.
I've done other brands the process is exactly the same I don't do private work for customers though my life is rather busy and I genuinely don't have the time to fit that in 😊
Wow !!!
Thanks for the feedback :D
@@The_journeyy now I’m going to have to re-do my wheels
Appreciate the feedback make sure to put three coats 2k clearcoat for bodyshop results and longevity 😊
Bro if my wheels are already black but just look dull, do I still need to primer?
If they just look dull and your trying to bring the shine back to them you could do what I'm doing to the cars paint shortly
Clay bar with water and look at results removes deep dirt if they're still not as shiny after that compound and polish them.
If they're still not as shiny after that you could wet sand them lightly with 2000 grit and then compound and polish
If your thinking about respraying them then yes you'd need to put primer hope that helps 😊
@@The_journeyy For sure helps bro thanks. My wheels have more of a satin shine from the factory but I'd prefer a deeper gloss. So I'm thinking to respray and follow your steps 👍
The gloss black finish is definitely a winner and that's great the car is going to be looking amazing when your done 😁
