Good job the only thing I would have done different was put a can of clear after the paint dries it will give it a more shiny look and help protect the paint and last longer
Rust protection tip is a great idea, I had little spots of rust that bled through here and there when I did this. They looked sharp for about 8-9 months tho. Good thing is, I can just switch up the color again. Good video man.
Most people sleep on steelies to give it some more pop add trim rings I usually find them in the junkyard then paint them the same color as the Steelie try it out you'll see the difference
Not when you dont have money to by some LOL I was there once as a kid with a car Lol
Steeliest are great for rally because they bent and go back whereas alloy just cracks. They use steel wheels on cop cars so they don’t get flats when they jump curbs.
For sure going to do this on my scion this weekend. The car is white so Im thinking either white or like a gold bronze color. Thx!
This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m going to paint my b16 Sentra steel wheels light gray. I just hate plastic wheel covers. It definitely looks different, but I hate plastic wheel covers. Just be honest with your wheels .
looks pretty good on the car
im doing this to my bucket
Thank you, definitely going to try this on my car
Awesome, I hope it turns out great!
Hope you removed the wheel weights unlike this bloke 🤦♂️ you’ll have a black spot when you get new tyres baha
I had no reason to, I bought the set, used them and sold them when I was done. I never had intentions of putting new tires on them
CashedOutCars that’s fair enough. For someone using this as a long term thing the wheel weights should be removed tho
I agree, this is the quick method. I’ve done other sets the “right” way, it just takes more time
Bout to have to buy some donuts for my GTI (coincidentally) so I can make some money after I sell my stock Detroit rims and was trying to see what I could do to spice them up while i wait to get some new rims and then I saw he was painting them white and was stoked to see cuz my GTI is candywhite(coincidentally)and these turned out really a lot better than I expected! Now I'm not so bummed on having to put on donuts and even tho I'm more into the 5 spoke look, after seeing how his car looked at the end of the video I was pleasantly suprised and now I'm almost a lil exited tbh 😆
Good job, what's your thoughts on putting a clear coat on as last step is it needed👍
Mine held up fine without it, but some clear coat would add extra protection and can change the look a bit if it’s what you want!
@@CashedOutCars thanks bud I will chance it without it, best of luck from Ireland 🇮🇪
I like to put my can a spray in a bucket of warm water (depending on the weather) to warm it up and get a much more even flow. Also shake the can a lot.
That’s a good idea, it probably would have helped me out doing that. Thanks for the tip!
Can I paint the wheels outdoors in a temperature under 10 Celsius
What grit sandpaper do you use?
Will the high pressure water hose wear the paint faster? Are there things I need to avoid or not do in order to keep the paint looking its best? I wanna paint mine white also.
It will potentially wear it faster, but if you do a good job prepping the wheels and do a good job painting them they'll hold up. Prep work is everything on a project like this!
What is the paint you used here?
How long do you need to wait before putting the wheels back on the car after the last coat?
I'd read the can for instructions. Most paints are fully cured in 5-7 days, but dry to handle within 24 hours

Please help. I did this 3 times already and im TIRED ;-) of it! It always lasted 1 month and then the color started to fade and rust through. I did a thorow rust removal (much more work than shown in the video) and used the rust protection (i've read the contents - it's basically phosphoric acid). The prep itself took 2 afternoons, rather than 2 hours. Then i cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Then I didnt use just rustoleum paint, but i used 3 coats of primer and then 3 coats of paint designed for car wheels. It lasted a month.
What am i doing wrong? Could it be the paint? Are specifically designed paint cans a scam and Rustoleum solves it?
At my 3rd attempt i thought that the "rust protection" ruins the paint so i tried without it, and it lasted 2 months. Not really what i was expecting :-/
The rust first appears in the outside edge where the water always stands when the car is standing after the rain, but after 2 months the wheels look all yellow and rusty.
It sounds like you're doing everything correct. Rustoleum paint (That says "Stops Rust") is great for preventing and painting over surfaces that have any amount of rust on them, ie what's left after prepping the wheels. I'd also try to keep your wheels as clean as possible after they're painted. Good luck!
@Robert Bonvallet The thing is that these wheels are on the car i dont use much and is basically a spare vehicle. I just wanna maintain it but not to spend much on it, so didnt want to buy new wheels. Also these steelies look quite nice on the car. I just cannot stand the look of scratched or rusty wheels in general :-)
Second thing is that when i tried and failed, it became personal. I see other people have better result that lasts and i refuse to believe i cannot do the same. So now i dont do it just for the sake of the wheels, but for me wanting to prove myself :-D Last try and then i give up and replace them or maybe sandblast+powder coat like you suggest.

Hello my friend. I dont know what you have done until now, but I have the solution for you.
After you do 3 coats of the paint, use a transparent polish over the paint after it is dry. You can use gloss or matt polish. It is very cheap and comes on spray
What grit of sandpaper do you recommend?
does this work on rims that have just 4 holes?
Robert Bonvallet bahaha 😂
A quicker way is to use a deck of cards instead of tape
more expensive you mean
Colour cards in paint section are free.
La ilaha illAllah
That one dislike was a hater for sure smh
