Looks good, Dude. Cleaned up the covers on my daughter's '12 Civic. Gonna paint them this weekend. I think the little "paint booth" you have is the key. I tried doing one outside the other day and the coverage was uneven.
I took my Peugeot 207 to the car wash and the guy ruined the wheel trims with the power jet washer, this is great, I've got my spray paint just waiting for a warm day , it's 14° today in Manchester UK. ❄️
If there are areas that you can't reach...... such as little crevices.... I save my old toothbrushes and I mash and wrap steel wool into the toothbrush and then scrape away in the hard to reach places.
Great job, man. I just have a quick question. I used the same paint and used one can for all four of the hubcaps, two coating for each. Now it looks like the color is not permanently stick on the caps! I checked after 10 hours of doing the job. Does it require sunlight to dry up or how long should I wait?
Really late reply, but sanding the finish with 600 grit sandpaper (or equivalent "grit" of a ScotchBrite pad) + priming may have provided better results in your situation. The lack of adhesion could also have been due to environmental factors, e.g., ambient temperature, humidity, wind. The finish paint product usually has recommendations for the optimal prep procedure and application environment.
My neighbor destroyed mine with a pressure washer washing my car for me. :( I paid him well to ruin my wheel covers! They look terrible! He blasted off the paint! I want to do this to mine and spray my wheels black again. My 05 Honda Accord has 43k miles on it. She's such a wonderful car & garaged!
That's downright balmy up here. We're expecting snow on Sunday. We have three seasons in Canada dot-dot. Paying outrageous taxes, winter and Road repairs to fix the holes and cracks as a result of the snow and ice.
@Semper Fidelis @PeanutButterMan, I used to live in GA, but now I'm in Central New York, a +/- 4 hr drive from Canada. This year was unusual for not having snow in October, but it met expectations for snow in mid-April. Being GA-born, 73º F in March is downright comfortable. After living up here a few years I wore a light jacket & a t-shirt when it was 45 - 50º down there. While it's not south Texas 🥵, I remember GA summers when it felt like my head burst into flame as soon as I stepped outside.

Did you have an issue where if you leave it on the sun it softens the paint and makes it sticky again? I painted a few car parts like the gas door and it came out beautiful. I left it to dry for a while week in the garage and than took it out side to install it but something came that I lefted out side in the sun for a few hours and when I went to grab it it was sticky and soft.
Jose Luna you might have sprayed it on to thick? Other then that the only thing i can think of is a cheap brand of paint.. also make sure it's for the proper material
If you use the same paint that i used it claims to be primer and paint all in one.. So I would say yes.. I would check the directions first.. It may tell you to lightly sand before painting..
i probably should have added a top coat of clear to protect the paint but i was happy with the results from just the spray paint so I did not.. if i had done clear i would have used a matte finish rather than glossy to avoid too much shine.. www.lowes.com/pd/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-General-Purpose-Matte-Clear-Spray-Paint-Actual-Net-Contents-12-oz/50449042?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-Paint-_-SprayPaint-_-50449042:Rust-Oleum&CAWELAID=&kpid=50449042&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=1787&k_clickID=go_625682584_34615008190_111134770750_pla-66449264646_c_9011320&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6ozhBRC8ARIsAIh_VC0MXb0cqt2lSVmJnfjn09hADIsOCmJi4usCz47lT9Fc_41rKuTNGgkaArH6EALw_wcB

Good video! Finally someone recommended “read the directions” . I like it. Getting ready to do my Honda Element.
Looks pretty darn good. Think I'll try it.

Very good job, Excellent results ! Thanks for the Video and Info.
Cool! My folks have a 1998 Odyssey and the hubcaps look like they're 100 years old. Thanks for the video and I'll give it a whirl on their Ody.
Good Luck!!

I just did this on my '95 Taurus. I like this color better than the gray/silver I used. I may lightly sand surface and use this paint.

Great video , just bought two tins from ebay, delivery tomorrow, for my 2012 Ford Ka wheel trims
Have already bought the material and will be dong this project this weekend - good job on the video.
Thanks.. Good luck with yours..
Do they come out good for you? What paint did you use?

Love the video. Was going to spray black to match minivan & tires. But like what you used. Going to follow you video get same color and supplies.
Came out clean.
I have a 97 ek Honda civic and was able to get a new set off ebay ! However I will keep this in mind for future reference ! Good video thank you
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
Good idea with the makeshift paint booth but what type of sandpaper did you use ? Looks good !
600 grit sandpaper should be fine.
Thanks! My Accord is waiting for me to do this. I'll try the same paint.
you're welcome.. my wheel covers still looks good after 17 months.. no chipping or peeling paint..
This looks excellent. Amazing result! How did the wheels go with subsequent car washes? Did the paint hold on well?
Yes.. Almost two years later and no issues with adhesion.. Just a few curb scrapes on the front wheel covers that will be easy to touch up..
@@tongo117 Super! Thank you

A year later , how has the paint held up ?
still looks good.. metallic patina has not faded and no chipping or flaking of paint..

i gotta do this, thanks for video
you are welcome.. thanks for reply..
THIS VID WAS SO HELPFUL, BUT DOES THIS BRAND OF PAINT COME IN BLACK BECUZ I'M THINKING ABOUT DOING MINES THAT COLOR.
yes you can get it in black..
Thanks. Where do they sale this paint?
SHOULD YOU USE CLEAR AFTER YOU PAINT THE HUBCAPS?
that would protect the finish so i would say yes..
@@tongo117 ok thanks. What kind of clear did you use?
What grit of sand paper did you use or would advise?
I believe it was 100 grit.. And it was standard sand paper.. Next time I will use wet/dry so that I can clean/sand at the same time..
@@tongo117 Thank you! Great video gonna be sanding mine this weekend, I found a fair/good full set at Pick n pull for $19.
Should use 320 grit,,
And sand
In one direction,,,

The only issue I've had is paint scraped off the right front wheel cover from grazing a curb.. No issues with the paint becoming sticky in the sun..
Jose Luna you might have sprayed it on to thick? Other then that the only thing i can think of is a cheap brand of paint.. also make sure it's for the proper material
was the finish smooth or sandy? I can not get mine smooth to the touch.
Mine have a little texture to the finish so I wouldn't say smooth.. But not so much that I would call it sandy.. Somewhere in between I guess..
@@tongo117 I ended up wet sanding them down, went from 1500 to 2000 and hand rubbed some M105 on them. Got them super smooth. FYI
@@jimwinkelmann6916 I'll try that next time I paint mine.. Thanks
How many cans of spray paint did this take?
one can of this:

Can I paint over plastic chrome hubcaps with the spray
If you use the same paint that i used it claims to be primer and paint all in one.. So I would say yes.. I would check the directions first.. It may tell you to lightly sand before painting..
Yes.
Where you get the paint,and how much?

Gee, I wonder.
they came out pretty good and you didn’t even use primer 🤔
That metallic paint from Rustoleum is paint and primer in one and you can paint it on any surface.
how many cans did you use?
1 can was just enough..
don't you have to clear them?

If I want to paint my hubcaps black do I still sand them?
I would say yes.. Sanding them should help the paint adhere better..
Thanks! Also do you know what kind of black paint to use because after I put black primer?

How many Coates should I put on?
If you are going from silver to black it will probably take at least 2 coats..
Why do you call a hubcap a “rim”?
don't know.. i reckon it's a southern dialect thing..
PeanutButterMan I’m from Texas, never heard of it referred to as “rim”.
I guess Texas isn’t south enough huh?
Haha....plastic rims.
Awesome Job!
What grit sand paper did you use?
I believe it was 100 grit..
