3 Month Update! • How To Spray Paint You...
IMPORTANT:
Materials used:
3M Final Stripping pad - amzn.to/2N2CilT
Rustoluem Black Spray Paint - amzn.to/2UAaoSe
Rustoleum Clearcoat - amzn.to/3hmvbSS
Steps:
1) Degrease/ wash entire wheel. Dry
2) Use scuffing pad on wheel surface to prepare for paint
3) Use damp towel to get rid of dust created by step 2 and dry again after
4) Mask off tire and valve stem
5) Shake paint for 1 minute
6) One light layer of your paint. Wait 15 minutes between layers
7) 2 more layers of your paint, getting heavier for each
8) 3 Layers of clear coat
9) Let dry for one hour
To be safe, I wouldn't use the wheel on the car for 48 hours.
Overall, I thought this was a great use of time and money, and I'd recommend anyone to follow the instructions in the video and give it a shot! I also think this is better than plastidip.

FAQ:
Q:How’s it lasted?
A:Here’s my 90 day update: th-cam.com/video/-SeaY-nNW58/w-d-xo.html
Q:Does this work on aluminum wheels?
A:Yes, BUT swap out the paint. Dupli-Color has a paint that bonds better with aluminum.
Any more questions, please leave a comment. And do your research please
Your 90 day update is the same URL as this video... just a heads up.

In the middle of doing this, bought everything you got and prepped my wheels. Did all the layers now just waiting the hour
(UPDATE) They look amazing, saved me so much money!
Did you prime them?
For those that can’t take off the wheel. DO NOT GET PAINT ON YOUR BRAKE DISC OR BRAKE BLOCK. what I’ve done, grab a bunch of trash bags, scrunch them up and place them between the wheel and brake disc. And instead of using the color cards he uses to separate the rim from tire, I use scotch tape, can even use an ID card to wedge the scotch tape in.
I'd argue if they can't take off a wheel they shouldn't paint. It's very dangerous to get paint on rotors, calipers, slide pins, wheel hub bearings ect...
Just jacking up the car from Δ points which is on frame after lower control arms and wheel wheels near center of vehicle.
Put jack stands under axles taking care not to hit brake lines with jacks.
Use a breaker bar or impact wrench to remove lug nuts and then wheel, put wheel under vehicle frame near Axle where skid plate is.
When you put wheels back on only snug the lug nuts while it's lifted off ground, drop vehicle weight on tire then tighten lug nuts in a star pattern to torque spec with torque wrench! Usually between 80-100 Ft-Lbs
Whoops, I wish I had read this before I finished painting my rims today. My old cop car has mostly solid steel wheels with the little holes around the center so I am pretty sure no paint touched the brakes. I'll take a good look tomorrow. This advice of yours should be pinned at the TOP ^ TOP ^ TOP ^
I would love to do this but I can't take my wheels off I'm disabled.
What if he did it already what might happen??🙁
@@samdavis-zh3cv It's the part made to stop your vehicle when you press your brake, it doesn't have the same friction like it used too, you'll have to press harder to brake because it'll slide like if you put wax on it, on small road you'll "probably" be fine but when you get to an highway you might get surprise and potentially crash your car.
My mannnnn you just saved me 1000

@@KevG do these types of rims and paint chip if a light wash is used on your car or any sort of scrubbing or power washing? Just wondering!
@@ryanmarshall3324 get professional spray paint if you want it to last
Looks good and I like those wheels I had them on my old charger as well. Only things I would do different (and maybe overkill) would be after the scuff its best to use a wax/tar degreaser to make sure everything is off the wheels and then do a coat or 2 of primer before the paint.... Another good option to protect the tires is a deck of cards if you want want to rob the paint section at lowes lol. The 2 times I have painted wheels black I actually used high temp engine enamel paint, but I think any high quality enamel would be good.
BROOOOO YOU SAVED ME SO MUCH MONEY GOD BLESS YOU FRFR😂🙌🏾 CAME OUT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED AND I GOT 2 people who want me to do theirs! I’m stoked man thanks again!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks so much!!! I had a black Detective's Crown Vic that I've been doing a resto-mod on. I looked at a hundred rims online and nothing clicked with me. Today I painted the formerly black steel holed rims with Behr Soft Iron Satin Metallic. It came out GORGEOUS. Thank you so much!
Dude I just finished doing it to my car following every step and it looks completely amazing, thank you. Like well deserved
Thank you! Love to hear that
How long does it last
Awesome video man, extremely straight forward! Thanks
I appreciate it!
I wanted to paint my rims black. This video helped a lot. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Great idea with the card samples. I used an old deck of cards. Worked great!
This was indeed helpful
Thank you so much for going straight to the point without so many irrelevant stories.
Idk if anyone else noticed, but the final product had a little bit of a gritty finish. There are a couple ways to minimize that. Don't do one light coat then two heavy coats. Maybe try more for like five light coats. Also, once your last coat of paint dries, you can lightly sand with high grit sandpaper (800 to 1000) then wipe down. Then do a few light coats of clear.
Agree, the finish was not as good as he kept boasting about which kind of defeats the object of the title.
Can I still do this after I applied clear coat ? And then reapply ? I just noticed that gritty look after finishing
Orange peel who cares as long as a owner happy we are happy dope
I like to wet sand between coats.
I’ll just buy the rims already professionally painted.
Respect bro 💯
Just used the same Rust-Oleum professional enamel semi-gloss on my wheels and it turned out really amazing. The prep work making sure everything is nice and clean and smooth is the key and if you know how to use rattle can spray paint take your time keep your distance don't rush it and it will look great. I've used different spray paints on wheels and I think this one did the best by far smooth and clean finished product this is great paint for wheels I won't use anything else after this
I never thought of using sample cards like that, that's gonna make my life so much easier when I paint my rims
I just scratched my 20s on the curb just now and this is the first video I saw. I guess I know what I’ll be doing this weekend.
I just did it today! Man, this video saved me!❤️
Very glad! Happy to help
@@KevG just curious why didn’t you use a primer before laying the black on?
Awesome I love the shine and look. Can't wait to do my wheels on my truck, Thanks
Good information they look very good professional look thank you for the video prep is a big part for how good the results turn out
They came out very nice. I have to correct you on one thing when a paint says enamel it does not have anything to do with it being oil base or latex as both have enamel finish or hardness. Also you might give Dupli-color a try as it is an epoxy paint and has excellent bonding characteristics.
what do you recommend for alloy rims?
what do you recommend for allow wheels?

I did this on the rims of my crv and i didnt have to alter it in any way till nearly two years. for a cheap fix like this its totally worth it, if you like doing things yourself
I’m literally watching this video wanting to do the same thing to my 2018 Honda CRV. Of course as a woman I don’t have the ability to take my wheels off. Any recommendations if you want to spray the rims while still on the car?
@@qtepiee88 Hey I'm I lady too asking the same question I happened to find a video for us If you haven't found one already 😀 th-cam.com/video/gYtSXwTHaTA/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
@@qtepiee88 probably best not to, paint tends to overspray. Especially when wind is involved and if your car is a vibrant colour and you use black paint. It’ll spray over your cars paint and unless you buy a cover for your car, it’s probably best not to try it. (even just old / unused rags/ towels)
I highly suggest to take your wheels off and lay them flat so the paint also doesn’t drip.
You should only have to take 4-5 bolts off. Most cars if not all should have a lug wrench in the boot for it
@@qtepiee88 just did mine yesterday get a bunch of bags and painters tape nd tape around the rim and bags on the tire and put the plastic bags around the break disc (make sure there cooled off) nd just go light around the rim nd wait about 3mins in between sprays to avoid crazy over spray
@@qtepiee88 you can take the rims off why even limit yourself
Definitely gonna try this! Thanks for the tips
Thanks for this!!!!! I'm doing this, this weekend!!!!! You the man 💪
This is awesome, drop a before and after shot!
I just did this over the weekend and I can say that I am very pleased with the results. I really appreciate the help from your video as it saved me 100s of dollars
Love to hear that!!!
How are they looking now?
@@harrissyed4876 they look a little less glossy but that’s to be expected because of weather and dirt and stuff, but I make sure to clean them once every week and a half or so. But overall they still look really nice for 25$ worth of paint
@@Krono3ditz just wandering how they look 4 months later
@@onyayekekay5357 they are still looking good and there is no sign of the paint coming off anytime soon. Like I said two months ago they look a bit less glossy compared to when I first painted them because of that car being my daily driver, but other than that I am very pleased with how this turned out and I have no regrets with this whatsoever.
I paint my wheels today, same color, thanks a lot for the video
I’m about to do the same thing! 👏🏼 saving tons of money! 🤑

Much appreciated🤘🏼
Definitely doing this too my noogaro gti rims
Best of luck!
Just painted my rims on my challenger. The black came out nice, saved me money.
Thanks bro. Very good video. I'm Gonna do this on my truck rims this weekend
Can you do a follow up and chipping and stuff looks good tho just wanna see the long term.. I wanna do my car but don't wanna mess up my rims if they just going to chip off like crazy down the line ?
Thank You my man.!!!
Cleaaaan bro. Doing this to the trashed OZ racing wheels that came on my newly acquired WRX Wagon. They were painted in a charcoal colored plastidip with texture. 😤
I want to do my wheels but have to get my hubby on board lol thanks for the video 📹 👍
Got a project Easter weekend i see...good shit cuz
I would use the clear design for wheels ..rustoleum wheel clear ..home depot has it..reason for the wheel paint cause it has the properties for UV protection & temperature rating for wheels...normal paint will peel at higher temps..the inner wheel gets real hot around the wheel bearing & rotor disc(which get cherry red at rush hour) normal clear coat will crack or spider vain with expanding & contracting
Thanks! I can't wait to do the same!
My brother used deck of cards to put around and he used a leaf blower for the dust that set in area , but great job! Looks awesome!
Found me a project for this weekend
i’ve been looking for a cheap and easy way to get black rims/wheels and this just helped so much. bless up bro
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hi Kev, loved your video. I have been thinking of spraying my alloys and was wondering if you or anyone you know, has tried using a matt finish paint. If so, what were the results and would you recommend it?
Don't know anybody who's done that.. but good luck! should be the same result.
Complete genius using the card to protect the tire! Now i think i can do it myself
Not a bad idea right! I was just sure to take a few of each color that had a lot of cards in stock… don’t want to leave them with none 😂
Video definitely helped thanks! And looks good
Thanks to you my car looks dope🔥
Love to hear it!
looks fire
I appreciate it brotha!
Love it, it went from amazing to great.
Stripped my plastidip and painted my wheels with this and it looks amazing!! Thanks!! 👏👏👏👏
Heck yeah! Glad to hear
this video was helpful. leaving a comment..
Thanks. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you! Glad I could help
Wow...turned out really good. How durable is it though. Does it scuff easily?
Dope video! Great job bout to this thank you!
It completely depends on what colour you're doing but i would highly recommend doing the inner wheel barrel. It adds alot to the final finish.
Awesome job bro, have you ever tried that on already chrome rims?? Project coming up and wondering if I can apply this to that
I don't recommend painting over chrome. To do so properly, you'd really need to sand down the finish with multiple grits of sandpaper, and be aware that sanding chrome can be a bit dangerous, definitely need to wear a mask and long sleeves. If you just have a bit of rust coming through the chroming, try some phosphoric acid to clean them. It won't be perfect but will look a lot better....
You could save a step by using the scuff pad also known as scotch Brite pad while you're doing the washing. Also, if you're painting aluminum or alloys that don't have paint it's good to use an etching primer first to ensure paint sticks well or you could end up peeling or chipping in a short period of time.
does it matter which primer
Love this video bro , this weekend I’ll be doing this if the weathers nice
This is dope bro. Getting my Mazda rims painted black this weekend August 20, 2022
Hey mate can I apply this paint to my cbr's alloy wheel? it's not a metal alloy though, also does this peels off by kerosene ?
Excellent job, just got a question for you. Just before the 10 minute mark you gave a close up of the finished rim. Appears to be either air bubbles, dirt speckles or in perfections in the rim in the paint. Hoping it's the later, this can be removed with proper sanding, correct?
I did exactly what this guy did, my rims are drippy and the paint is easily peeling off. Do not recommend.
@@beverleylagunas3285need to prime alloys with an etch primer then spray light coats. I doubt these will last that long
I scratched my black rims, so I need to patch the scratch. This video was helpful.
Thanks for the lesson ! Now I will paint my Vette wheels gun metal gray...
Just wanted to comment and say that I did this about 7 months ago and it still looks new! Take your time on it, don’t be afraid to use the paint. The more black you put, the more shine that’ll come. Also, go ham with that crystal clear enamel - makes a world of difference when dirt and nasty things gets on it.
How did it hold up?
?
Is it still looking like new?
Doing my rims with the rustoluem primer as well
Good call. For a big color change I recommend it
Bro your the business!!!! I’m so going to do this!
Starting a spray paint business after this thanks bro 😎 💰
Great video. Quick question, when spraying the black, sometimes it’s not completely gloss because I don’t spray the coats too thick in case of a run. But does the lacquer take away that dry look of the black? Thanks
There's glossy and "dull" clear coat. Choose appropriately :)
thanks for the info bro, been looking for a good video, i am about to take my stock rims off my Ralliart & paint them gloss black also, i hope it turns out as good as yours did!.. @lowe's here i come LOL
I am going to do this ,I have a 325i base model and I can't afford new 18in rims so this is the video I was looking for
You can improve it further by applying firstly few layers of primer before painting as well as graphene coating after the clear coat is cured.
I'm going to be doing the same thing soon
Awesome video man. Had a few ??'s
1) Can this be done with a Chrome finish? I have Copper-looking alloys right now. Or would you alternatively recommend something like stainless steel finish for a steel, shiny look. 2) Can you leave the tires on the car while you're painting (physical limitations). I was thinking I could either mask off the inside of the tire - or if the inside gets painted, who cares, it's still shiny? :) As long as this doesn't damage anything in the inside of the wheels.
Thanks again!
There is no real way to get a chrome finish except actual chroming. If you want to paint your rims and have a metal-looking finish, you could try Rust-Oleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish spray paint in Chrome. Prep well and apply light coats, but please don't use a clear coat or you may completely ruin the finish.
You can leave the tires on the car when painting, just mask off well so you don't get overspray on your car. Overspray goes farther than you think...
Done this a few times 3 coats each holds up well even when scuffed
Did this on my Camaro !! Came out amazing
Using this method on my Tesla Model S P85D OEM rims this weekend, just sanded using an orbital sander, drill abrasive ball, and did first coat. So far so good. Wish me luck! Comment - For the paint samples idea, never understood why is everyone so worried about getting paint on their rubber tires? It will just wear off or give the tires a shiny "Just added tire shine look" which is OK with me! lol
Have you scratched them or dinged them since? If so, did the paint come off and the rest start to chip little by little?
Cool! Thanks! Freaking hilarious with the paint sample cards and a perfect idea lmfaaaao. Cheers from Tampa Bay
Thanks a lot!😅😅
They turned perfect

@@T_Y_G_E_R_ spray paint scratches off when they put the wheels on the tire changing machine, just had this happen with my car
I recommend finding some other clear coat because upgrading the clear coat would really make the paint pop more. I believe some 2k clear would do way better but then again i know if it is heat resistant
Thanks for the advice!
How do you make sure the paint reaches the whole wheel? Do you spray from the back too?
Im getting ready to go get some to Lows I’ve been trying to pin mine since forever ago! 🔥 thank you

Nice wheels bro.. and good job 👏
Looks fu$&in$ great dude! About to head to Lowe’s and do my enclosed trailer rims right now! Great video
I’d recommend doubling up on the clear coats with that product to put enough material in so that you can level and polish the finish after it’s cured to have an acceptable product. The orange peel in that finish screams rattle can
You'll still get that with a gun, but a little less so. Pros still cut and polish as clear never lays flat.
My have aluminum lines on my wheels. Do you need I primer or am I good painting on it without primer? thansk bro! helpful vid. I was planning to go with superwrap spray but they're removable.
is it better to use the paint you used as opposed to duplicolor paint from like autozone? or is it only better for metal wheels instead of regular stock wheels?
Super helpful. Preciate the help
I might have missed it, but did you mention how much time you let dry in between the coats ?
