Don't understand the thumbs down on this video. This guy is showing us an easy/inexpensive upgrade that everyday people can actually do and save money at the same time. Clear instructions, practical advice, that's a thumbs up all day long my friend!!! And a new subscriber
I didn't thumbs down but I'm sure those that did, did it for many reasons. Theres probably plenty of people out there who find painting wheels to be tacky, or maybe they dislike the style of the video. TH-cams thumbs up only makes sense with the thumbs down option too
4:45 Awesome shout-out to ChrisFix right here! It's very humbling that content creators ensure that props and other credit reach back to where they were discovered in the first place. Great presentation! Looking forward to restoring one of my OEM Steely to standby as a full spare in place of the default doughnut. ⚙️😄
That was awesome dude. The only thing I do different is turn my wheels a quarter turn after every coat so that I see everything and paint a different direction for even all over coating.....awesome vid dude
Those who gave this a thumbs down are upset they don’t live in the Bahamas or have an awesome vehicle to dress up with better wheels. Great vid, thinking of doing this to my Chevy truck.
I completely agree. I'm about to look around for a nice set of used rims and tires. I have a lot of tire shops around me that sell rims and tires. I never thought about painting. I kept looking for all black rims. Great video. He obviously has haters on here.
@@ryanbishop1987 , look at a minimum of 3 cans primer,3 cans of paint, and 3 cans of clear. That'll do the 4 wheels (that size) with a little left over. That's front and back of the wheels. 3 complete coats primer,3 coats paint, and 3 good coats of clear. Ain't buying no 9 cans of GOOD paint for under $50 anywhere. Up here in Canada, one can of Automotive Paint, from a Body Shop Supply Shop will run you about $35, so buying a half gallon, plus Gardners and a good, not great paint gun, and another strictly for primer, and another for clear,will set you back a bit, but the end results are outstanding by comparison.If you have a compressor, the choice is that much easier
Good video for saving some bucks. I like the use of the wire brush on the drill. 400 grit sandpaper seems to work as well for me. I have used Vaseline or grease on the tires instead of masking tape. Just wipe off the overspray. I also like to paint the wheels upright. Thanks!
I am guessing a lot of the thumbs down is because this is a quick diy rattle can paint job on relatively nice wheels. I will be very surprised if the paint does not start to come off in two years time especially without using etching primer on bare aluminum. I would avoid scrubbing, power washing or taking it through a car wash for sure. But I know we all appreciate the time he took to post a how to video.
To also fight off the corosion, you can add baking soda and hydrogen peroxide with warm water and use an empty spray bottle to spray all over the rim. Let it sit on the rim for awhile (5 mins) and wipe away. It makes it very clean too.
Another easy way to prevent any paint going on your tires, closest to the rim. Is to remove a lot of air. The wheel will drop and loosen itself from the rim. Then you can begin the taping process. I did this on my tuck rims. Super easy. If you’re painting the rim black, you can skip this process. But if you’re doing a massive color change, I would do this.
Use index cards instead of masking tape. Do your same trick of letting the air out. Then take your thumb/hand and push down the tire and the index card will slide between the wheel and tire. Just keep going around by overlapping each index card. Works well and the cards will be standing in an upright position to block overspray. Then just push down on the tire again and pull them out.
Did you use a self etching primer? If you did can you paint over the self etching primer or do you need to paint it with a coat of regular primer before you applied the black top coats? Thanks! The wheels look great!
May I ask if it’s possible to paint the wheels without taking them off? I’m trying to surprise my mom for her birthday by painting her Porsche Macan wheels black but I’m scared to take the wheels off.
I want to do this to my stock Tundra rims but am afraid of what the long-term durability is gonna be. I’d hate to have to be doing this every 6 months to a year because rocks and debris start to chip off the paint. How have they held up since the video was made? Also, I would imagine the paint came off in the places where you put the lug nuts?
I saw the saltlife shirt n said hey only is see these in Bahamas🇧🇸 but when I saw tht license plate at end I had to zoom in cause I knew that was Home 🇧🇸 😃
awesome video !!!! ,quick question I've purchased some rims that came with old tires that I'm gonna replace, should I wait to start the paint process so when they remove the old tires and put the new on it wont scratch the new paint ??
What kind of paint did you use? Just an idea you could have used a piece of cardboard cut out to put around the tire, a little easier to pass on to the next tire. Thanks I really was watching to see what type of paint you used.
What about painting the inside/back of the wheels? I know on my five spoke wheels that would be visible from the outside. Also, you need to make sure you say to start your spray outside of the target area. You started your spray while pointed at the rim.
Bro awesome video and helps alot for those who have completely zero idea how to do it that can save $$$, i love it and thumbs up to you my friend, just another question how many spray paint primer and black spent on one wheels... Cheers
It's been 3 years this vid but nice work. Wanting to do this on my truck just wanted to know if when spraying matte black, is clear coat necessary? Or 3-4 coats should do the trick? Thanks
Hey brother love the channel do you think it would work if you were to completely spray over this Jeep to a different color preferably black I’m just curious. Thanks

Thanks alot Peter! Just people just come to click thumbs down I guess LOL

Because he stole the video idea, he also plugged who he stole the idea from
They came from paint shops. Dude is taking money from them showing how easy painting rims are
Peter Fredrickson people are haters!

Nice profile pic haha, I thought your comment was my comment for a second lol
Incredible how a set of wheels can make a big difference on your vehicle
Yes! Totally agreed!

Thanks for the video. I painted my wheels today and they look amazing and I did it for less than $50.00!
How many cans did you buy??
you heard the man, he wins
What paint did you get?

Easy to follow, straight to the point, no annoying product placements! A+ video. Nice job on the paint job and video my guy!
would be great if you put down the paint, primer and finish gloss you used bro.

Thank goodness he labeled the parts of the vid with “super speed” otherwise I would have thought it was the meth induced part 😂😂
Do you take speed?
Great video! Thanks for making these DIY videos! Can you please list all the materials and brands that you used to restore them?

Weird flex George Masvidal. I knew you could fight but DIY rim painting tutorials on youtube. I'm impressed
Lmao I thought I was the only one that noticed he looked like gamebred at first glance
🤣🤣🤣🤣 too funny

First, but love the videos adventuredex always sooo helpful with the tips and tricks 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks for the support!
Did you use a self etching primer? If you did can you paint over the self etching primer or do you need to paint it with a coat of regular primer before you applied the black top coats? Thanks! The wheels look great!
holycow that was awesome job..thanks for sharing.
Great tips - I'll be doing my rims on my 2010 Toyota Tundra. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Got a 02 f150 with old ROX wheels I want to do the same to.
Looks clean!!
Dude he also gave Chris Fix a shoutout.
Well done dex..
Thank you!!
May I ask if it’s possible to paint the wheels without taking them off? I’m trying to surprise my mom for her birthday by painting her Porsche Macan wheels black but I’m scared to take the wheels off.
This video helped and he was so cute 😍😍😅
Looks dope, great upgrade man.
Thanks!!
I want to do this to my stock Tundra rims but am afraid of what the long-term durability is gonna be. I’d hate to have to be doing this every 6 months to a year because rocks and debris start to chip off the paint. How have they held up since the video was made? Also, I would imagine the paint came off in the places where you put the lug nuts?
What brand of primer and color black matte did you use? Or what you prefer?
Thanks in advance
Rustoleum
AdventureDex, would you mind sharing the primer and paint that you used? Thanks in advance!
I saw the saltlife shirt n said hey only is see these in Bahamas🇧🇸 but when I saw tht license plate at end I had to zoom in cause I knew that was Home 🇧🇸 😃
242 to the world 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Thanks for the example, big thumbs up!!!
Look awesome!!!!
Thank you!!
No clear coat ?
What paint did you use?
It’s Dupli color wheel spray paint
Looks good! My ocd was screaming "scrub up the damm rubber and throw wet spray on them first" but that's just me 🤐 obnoxious 😭
Awesome job
What’s the best paint & primer to use ⁉️🤔 I want matte black .
hi
I know I’m late but every time you apply a new coat is that a whole new can of paint?
No, do light coats. It takes more time but will come out so much better! Thanks for watching!
That was probably a dumb question but okay I guess it's the acceptable I was always told a dumb question is a question that we've never been asked
Do you have a problem when you turn the front rims to the wheels in the front don't they rub
Hello..nicely done....i did the same job at my wheels too...but how you clean them? Most cleaners damage the paint...
Great video!
awesome video !!!! ,quick question I've purchased some rims that came with old tires that I'm gonna replace, should I wait to start the paint process so when they remove the old tires and put the new on it wont scratch the new paint ??
What type of paint did you use primer and paint?
Thank you! now my little Tacoma will look a little nicer lol
What kind of paint did you use? Just an idea you could have used a piece of cardboard cut out to put around the tire, a little easier to pass on to the next tire. Thanks I really was watching to see what type of paint you used.
How are the wheels holding up I see you didn’t used any clear coat
I’m curious as well!
Held up well! Minor scratches
Super good videos. Where i can buy all those cans
95 Ford F-150 Beater work Truck , stock steel wheels Gloss , satin , or Flat Black ?
Also did the Lawn survive ?
Like your work but I don't know how many cans of prime, coat,clear coat used for your 4 wheels? Thks
Looks good
So one question. How good does the paint hold?
Superb bro👍
What about painting the inside/back of the wheels? I know on my five spoke wheels that would be visible from the outside. Also, you need to make sure you say to start your spray outside of the target area. You started your spray while pointed at the rim.
What kind of primer and paint do you recommend?
Bro awesome video and helps alot for those who have completely zero idea how to do it that can save $$$, i love it and thumbs up to you my friend, just another question how many spray paint primer and black spent on one wheels... Cheers
No recommendations for paint? And how durable is this?
Awesome man
Awesome video! Currently working on my wife’s Jeep.. how many cans of primer and paint did you use for all 5?
Perfect.
Awesome thanks for the advice
What type of paint is he using? Brand*
what paint and primer did you use?
What kind of paint and primer did ypu use
Rustoleum
Good job brother!!
What is the name of the paint you used ?
Awesome video man!!
Awesome job my friend.
Thank you!!
About how many cans of primer, paint, clear coat you used?
Crushed it!
Should have painted the lugs black
Hey that was a great video bro
How much bottles of paint exactly do you really need for all for wheels
Thanks for the feedback!! You need 3-4 cans for 5 wheels
Any chipping after time? They look good man
It's been 3 years this vid but nice work. Wanting to do this on my truck just wanted to know if when spraying matte black, is clear coat necessary? Or 3-4 coats should do the trick? Thanks
Did u use primer for the black i love it
It looks like you're in nassau, I'm about to paint some of my rims in a few weeks and I can use a hand. Great work though
What brand of paint was used
Will using that wire brush attachment help take off the peeling/bubbling clear coat from my stock rims?
Will they be able to hold up against pressure washing them?
That was terrific … I want to actually paint my "stocks" matte black, not replace them.
What paint was used and primer?
Canon les jantes 💪
You have so many comments on here asking about the brand of paint. Can you please answer.
Krylon spray paint! Thanks 🙌🏼
How many cans of paint all together including primer main and clearcoat if used?
Does the paint chip after a while ?
I was thinking the same thing. I would add a layer or two of clear coat to seal it
@@lavertb74 yeah I agree. Silly not to clear coat. This is the only rim painting video I have watched that did not include that step.
The wheels came out great. what size are they?
Thanks! They are XD 20" x 35"
My daughter wants to pain her rims black. Do you have a shop and if so , where are you located
Can you recommend a good quality clear coat to go over the paint? If you use a different color other than matt.
Hey brother love the channel do you think it would work if you were to completely spray over this Jeep to a different color preferably black I’m just curious. Thanks
Will the paint chip without a clear coat or something
