- Looking for how to spray paint your hubcaps black (or any other colour)? Want it to be cheap, easy, fast and reversible? Plasti-dip offer a good solution, but Halfords do their own version for only £9.99 (link below) that works a treat! I was able to spray my hubcaps black in only a few hours, including drying time!
As part of the pointless polo project, in this video I show you how to spray paint/plasti-dip your hubcaps without breaking the bank, wasting time, or doing a bad job that you can't revert afterwards.
It honestly doesn't take very long/any time at all, maybe a few hours (but with plenty of time to chill in between stages) and this is definitely a job that beginners can do as well as experts. It's super easy!

As an American, watching you drive on the left side of the road made me so nervous.
Haha apologies - not much I can do about it without causing a crash!
Same
Same to
Tried this with matte black peelable. So far it looks like it’s drying really light. Hope it comes out better than I think it is. If hot I’ll try with this kind of paint next time.
Debating wether or not to start a series about my 9n on TH-cam as I feel like the little bits that need doing to it would be a fairly interesting watch
Dub Engineer do it - that's basically what I'm doing while I'm strapped for cash, when I start my grad job I'm planning on completely stripping and rebuilding it 🤙🏽
I have done something similar. My polo has the same design wheels as yours although they are alloys so I used different paint. If you want to create a colour scheme or trim colour I would definitely recommend getting an exact knife. When coming to the badges they are on the cover that comes off to access the lug nuts. What I did was I covered the badges in spray paint but then cut around the vow logo and pulled all the in between bits off and sprayed it black, after that I peeled the masking tape off the vwlogo and covered it agin in masking tape but this time I inverted the bits I pulled off. I then spray painted the vw logo red. I did this on the steering wheel too. I did however leave the badges on the boot and bonnet black though because I think it looks better. Let me know what you think
Sounds good to me! I need blue VW logos for the new alloys to help with keeping the theme of blue and black, but other than that I'm happy so far. Sounds like you're doing a great job!
Cars With JB thanks, yours looks great too! I’m a confused about vw’s production of the logo on the steering wheel. Most models like the one you have, have the vw part in silver and the spaces in between in blue, same on the wheels, mine didn’t have that, they where silver and black.
I have the same car,. Interested to see what you'll come up with next :)
Haha good choice in car! Thanks for the support - new video on her will be out ASAP :)
Will the peelable paint react to any other chemicals like soap or touchless/scrubless tire and rim cleaner?
Bro this colour always looks better with a touch of black. I like it ☺
Haha I quite like it ngl - looking for some cheap OEM rims to turn black in the near future though
Cars With JB what about TT COMPS BROTHER.
Good shout - if I come across some for a good price in the next few months I'll consider it. I kind of like the Khartoums from the Polo R as well
So this paint peels off, will it slowly peel off later in it's lifespan?
I know a lot about hubcaps myself because I'm a collector, now that paint is good to peel off but the paint will just come off when you hit curbs and then the hubcaps would look weird. I like them but just be careful
Yeah I found that the paint faded after a couple of months despite being careful around curbs etc - the rain wasn't too kind to them. I have alloys on the car now anyway!
Hi mike its michael whats up
@@Hubcaps219 ah hi mate lol😊
After seeing this I think the hubcaps are worth more than the car!!!! LOL
You were flying through the town! 😂
Can I go through a drive through car wash and if so how many washes can it take
Great question, no idea - I cleaned them quite a few times by hand and had no issues, but I'd be worried about the brushes pulling off the paint (as it is peelable with the right amount of force)
Im glad i found some videos about Vw polo 9n which is currently my car also and i can't wait for more new stuff about this beautiful car...Btw do you think that black hubcaps will look good on my black polo ?
I'm glad you're enjoying the polo vids! I think black on black would look so cool, I would suggest using the same kind of paint I did so that you can easily reverse the job if you don't like it - the plasti-dip-esque stuff works really well and is so easy to remove - and it's only a tenner! Thanks for watching bossman
black does look great, but what do you think abt red? my car is also blue.
Just got my polo . Quick question does this affect the insurance? Loving the polo projects
did u find out if it does?
ALEX LUCCI . It doesn’t affect the insurance . Replacing alloys does but not painting them
If I don’t you use Plasti dip paint should I sand down the curb rashes and scratches right?
Yeah it'll make for a nicer coating - would suggest a layer or two of primer too!
JB i need help, i have an 03 Getz and i wanna spray the wheel trims to make them look like diamond cut alloys, if i send you a picture of the trims i have, could you edit it to show me a design to go off of? Thanks
Can all cars hub caps be pulled off easily? E.g a fiesta
Just tried this for my polo 9n how does the paint react when you wash the wheels? Cheers due!
Nice - hope it went well! It's been pretty hard wearing for me - i just never wipe it down or you can take streaks out of it - I'm gunna need to replenish mine asap anyway (but not sure if it's worth it yet as I'll probably get new rims soon!)
Cars With JB alright cheers my man, I really want to lower mine I think they look wicked when lowered what’s your opinion on it with our cars?
How much cans do you need? 2-3? And my hubcaps are trash so should i sand them down?
2 should be more than enough, and no need to sand down; it'll ruin them for if you ever want to remove the plastidip!
Hi there. Two of my friends recently did my hubcaps and I let them dry for at least 4-5 hours. The next morning it started peeling in some areas. Is there a way to fix this or advice you have for me?!
What kind of paint did they use? And if it was proper paint (Rather than this peelable stuff) did they prepare the hubcaps properly (I.e. sand it down a bit, put some primer on it, then paint)?
Great video bro ,very informative
Nice job men.... I have an Pointless Polo 9n3 2008 1.4 ... its a nice car by the way xD
Haha love it - gotta love the pointless polos!
How durable is peeloff Paint?
You should sand off scratches first then degreased wipe them then paint them looks horrible like that
Nice
Hi I'm thinking of doing this how long did it last 4?
Ages actually, like at least 2-3 months, it fades rather than peels tbh, and it's so easy to redo 🤙🏽
Thank you for the reply bro I will subscribe so I can see your next mods 👍
Liam uk u have to sand away the old paint first
Very nice video! :) (I collect hubcaps)
Nice! What have you got in your collection? Maybe if I ever get some new rims on this car you can have one of my hubcaps haha - thanks for watching!
I have a nice collection. I have a separate channel all about it. And your hubcaps are really nice but they fall off all the time and I have a few. :) I would recomend putting straps on. 👍
Don't do this method it's awful, I did and paint started peeling off straight away. Then when I went car wash a lot of paint came off. Went back to the drawing board and sanded the wheels, used primer , paint and lacquer and its holding awfully well now, no paint peeling off and even survived the car wash , no issues
Not exactly cheap if it only lasts 2-3 months. Might as well just buy proper black hubcaps that will last for years.
It does actually last a lot longer than 3 months (they're still black now in fact), just the peel-able paint stops being as easily peel-able
I'm sure you could of bought black hub caps for under £20
..but much more fun doing it yourself..Party Pooper😜
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙃🙃🙃
black black paint
worst advice on painting technique. just had to say it.
