pro tip : watch movies on KaldroStream. Been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Brayden Thomas yup, been watching on Kaldrostream for years myself :)
@Brayden Thomas yup, I've been using Kaldrostream for months myself =)
@Brayden Thomas yea, I have been watching on KaldroStream for years myself :)
There's another one called: VHT Epoxy black paint for rolling chassis. I did front fork lowers and it didn't chipped off even in the UKs climate and salt on the roads.
VHT roll cage paint is also quite good . It's chemical resistant
"Off road" in Australia...
Translation: riding in the backyard over to the pub.
Isn't everywhere not on the far east coast pretty much off road?
Great vid and overview of painting rims!
I painted my Yamaha fz6r rims white 3 years ago with industrial strength rustoleum and its holding up great. Like you said it's easy to touch up if needed.
I love that every time I have a motorcycle question one of your videos pop up and it all makes sense cheers
They both look great mate and if ya get a scratch they’re easy to touch up
You’ve done a great job
I have paid many wheels base coat clear. The hold up fine. They will scratch easier than powder, but there's so much more cool colors this way.
Mate, thanks, you saved me several $$$$’s, I was ready to shell out for new rims but you saved the day, Cheers!
Also for that point, there should not be much contact on them also.. less to worry about than other places.
Have you looked into diy powder coating as you have a shot blaster ? I’ve used a “powder magic” system for years . Your only restriction is the size of your oven ! I’ve found it to be really tough and quick to do & gives a real professional finish . It cost me about £180 in the uk . Cheers mark , loving the riding tips by the way !
G'Day Mark ! the brand name is not as imperative as the type of paint, the epoxy enamel should work no matter where you are or purchase it, given it is a good can of paint not some throw down make /// Short n sweet or Long n fun, keep em coming
Short and sweet 😀 if painting them can save you from buying new wheels, then go for it 👍 let's face it if you just leave them to rust to death you will have to spend big money in the end! , get em off prepare them real good and you have just saved money and possibly saved your wheels for many years to come 👍
Wait now, snacks are good but we need a good meal from time to time.
Thanks for sharing. I have had desirable results using a self etching primer before finish coating. ps, it won't come off finger nails :) peace
That is how we roll my boy😮😮
👍
Faaaark, Im number 1 again, simply commitment, thats all!
Seeing is believing as they say, got some rims to paint.
Awesome video Mark. Im thinking of painting my Harley wheels during my re-build.
Im doing a video Vlog on my channel if anyone wants to have a look. The bike is currently completely stripped down to the broken crank pin :(
Oils ain't oils and paints ain't paints. Not all paints are born equal - IOW, this side of laboratory level testing be guided by price.
Did you have to use a primer with the Dulux paint ?
hey there. I have a question, can you spray other kinds of spray paint over this enamel epoxy? or it won't stick to it?
Yes you can spray over it! 👍
do you have to take the wheels off the motorcycle to paint it or can you leave it on?
You could actually leave them on!
I painted my rims they aren’t even on the bike and they’ve already hit heaps of scratches from kicking around in the work shop
At least 3 layers of good prime before painting..will do the job.
I even used epoxy enamel but my rims are chrome
Will sand blasting chrome work so I can paint my rims again
Yes or just scuff up the chrome with sandpaper!
Cheer for this mate! I got frustrating changing my of rear wheels for the 1st time and chipped some paint. That is the exact black color I am looking for. Did you add clear coat to finish?
No I didn't!
@@BikerBits no worries! How has it help up after a few years?
Do you still have to prime the rims or just clean well and paint?
Clean well and paint! :-)
Did you took the spoke wheel aparat?
No! 👍
Powder coating for the win ?
Each to there own! 😃
that looks like matte black. Does it come in gloss black?
Yes it does! :-)
@@BikerBits hey question then: I just got a brand new front wheel in matte black; not even installed yet. My stock rear wheel is of course gloss black. If I decide to paint the new wheel, do I need to do the whole 3m sanding and primer spray with the clear coat spray afterwards or is this can good to go?
Buddy, good stuff!
hey man,i painted my rims and when I cleaned my chain with kero it crazy cracked all the paint?
Bugger! Did you use Epoxy paint?
I painted my wheels too the bad thing about it was that when I wanted to clean it up my rear wheel... Soap and water did not make it I had to used gasoline or kerosene, but those things destroy eventually the paint... I removed the paint and make them pulished my rims....
primer or just straight to metal?
Straight to Metal
Biker Bits also you said you sandblasted the spokes. did you also sand blast the rim itself? was it crome? thanks for replying!
👍
Forget the black paint, what you want is to spray 'em with chrome bright !!
Make more short videos, less than 5 mins, a snack not a meal. I think you tried before though....less than 10mins but rambled on.
