Amazing Wheel Restoration From Super Rusty To Mirror Chrome
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- I decided to try to restore a very old and super rusty car sprae wheel by giving it a chrome mirror new look.
At first, I tried to remove the rust mechanically, but I realized that it would not be possible to do without sandblasting. The sandblasted rim has been painted with 99% zinc cover to protect the rim from corrosion. I covered some of the gouges and pits with putty, followed by a sanding process and a coat of black paint.
I mixed chemicals to prepare chromium solutions according to special formulas. This was followed by Hydrochroming, a continuous process where a chemical reaction coated the rim with a film of chrome. This work was interesting for me, if you liked it, please share and press Like on this video.
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them in the comments.

You can buy a new steel rim for 45$..he has days wrapped up in a rim where that chrome will be flaking in 6 months
You must be fun at parties

Just admit that you're a typical lazy one.
Durability? It looks great, but will it hold up?
I would've thought chrome plating bath would've been the steps involved in this process. Never heard of hydrochroming before. Looks neat.
this process can chrome wood materials as well.
I wanna try it out with customizing hot wheels cars now
Search for mirror silvering, that is all this is.
@@abpsd73 yes similar
high risk of breaking your hand and arm 5:30 !!!!!
What do you mean lol
@@MauriceNL1i think he meant. 5:03

Good job looks really nice
It's amazing.
Cool
Amazing. Appreciate the amount of effort you had gone through to demonstrate this option. Its not easy. Simply put.
Amazing result, the wheel looked beautiful❤.
Youre a wizard harry
no gloves amazing
genial y que? productos utilizaste?
Очень хорошо 👍👍👍
WOW, impressive and excellent job!!
👍👍👍
Kind regards from Mallorca, Spain.
Spray on "Chrome" will start peeling off in no time. Strip it, send it out for real triple chrome plating.
No, it wouldn't. Painted wheels last 10 - 15 years, depending on conditions of driving.
If you have too much money, better gold-plate them, while you are at it
Heard of brush plating. This would had been great in the '60's & 70's as our poor man's mag was a chrome plated factory rim. Will this hold to the elements?
Красота ❤
Thanks for the man or woman who invented sand blasting, you would not never clean that rust any other way. Great result and very good video!
its possible to clean in other ways, but sandblaster is more faster.
I really need your recipe for that hydrochroming solution, and how long does it actually last?
Its amazing !!! how you did this?? ITS AMAZING!!!!! NICE JOB!!!
Very Nice! What is in those 2 spray bottles?
2 components of chemical chrome solution
@@LowMileageChannel I've heard that the way you've done it is particularly difficult, based on the measurements of the fluids involved and the time they have to work - and the time to rinse th solution. Beautiful work, btw!
i'm not a wizard....i'm harry
Absolutely brilliant!!!! Love your channel ❤👍🏴
nice work
What's the name of Chrome solution your using? Great finish
Amazing!
You certainly didn't get those results with the sandblaster that you were using. Your putty hardener amount was way too little. And what's with the fake garage background noises? I'm calling it fake on the whole job. 👎
The worst rattle can technique I've ever seen too.
Its has to be true its on the internet 😅
Apparently you’re ignorant to hydro chroming is real 😂 might want to educate yourself before making a fool of yourself.
Absolutely 100% BS
Nice Result😊
Gerat job
Very Impressive🧐
Amazing
Wie lange hält der Lack?
There's no way with big flakey rust that it started with, that it came out that smooth before the putty! I've cleaned wheels with way less rust that had DEEP pits 🙄
hi , Is it possible to choose the combination of chemicals used to make chrome solution?!
What sorcery is this?
chemistry and magic indeed have this affinity!
Good job good job. 😎🚘 😀👏
Spraydose...😂😢😢😢
How you chrome that with plastic spray bottles ?????
This is hydrochrome chemical chrome solution.
Любому обывателю купить новый диск дешевле в 10 раз чем востановить старый диск.
Who chemically chromes NV200 rims?
Nice job, it looks amazing
凄い！
１本出来るのに何分掛かるのかな？
Pretty cool,but isnt a new set of steelies relatively cheap?
I think the whole process was for the video.
How much time did it all take from start to fininsh? also great work :)
Brilliant. What the chemicals for chrome and where to buy them?
Search in google for "hydrochroming solutions chemicals" but its not cheap, I recommend to make it by yourself.
@@LowMileageChannel thanks for replying.👍
Alsacorp makes chrome solutions
How do you move your hand that fast?
Nice job.
Ver good Thank you❤
great video! any link please to share this magic chrome finish formula, craving for it right now.
Coming soon!
@@LowMileageChannel can you say The grain of The sandpapers and name of materials and paints please??
Мы не знаем что это такое... Если бы мы знали, что это такое, но мы не знаем что это такое
Looks Great!
I got the same results but with different grit sandpaper and soapy water. Very time consuming but worth it.
It's a shame that it's painted rather than polished.
It would Rust the first day you drove it in the rain, unless you polish it then clear coat it
Краска?
No, its chemical chrome solution.
@@LowMileageChannel выглядит достойно :)
Amazing? When having a load of spare time on your hands... put it into makeshift restoring something with longevity close to none.
It’s any chance to make old videos public again?
💯👍😎✊💯
Repairing a curved wheel is madness, and a waste of money. It's cheaper to buy a new one.
I don't get why ppl hate on the guy, maybe this is just his hobby. The fake ambient I do agree makes the vid less watchable tho
Looks great, what a difference
Amazing job, thanks for sharing.
what are the chemicals used to chrome the wheel and in what dosages?
It is a mix of about 10 types of chemicals. It must be mixed in very precise proportions. Maybe I'll make a video about it.
@@LowMileageChannel i would like to learn about that absolutely. 💯
@@LowMileageChannelPlease make such a video. I would love to learn this method. Thank you
Strip it and paint it basically… 😑
Cool, cool, and now, as the mechanics say, there are still 3 left XDDD If the mechanics had so much fun with one rim, these rims would cost a fortune.
It would be
Did he really put a body filler on a steel wheel? 😢😢😢
Amazing job but....why waste that time and resources on a steel, cheap wheel?
wasn't it interesting to see the whole process to make it possible?
@@LowMileageChannel it was super interesting and, as i sayed, amazing job. Im just honestly curious to which point is it worth to restore such a cheap equipment to that state...Im not demoralizing what u did.
Where are als they car restoration video’s?
TH-cam removed them.
何をしているのか字幕を入れて欲しい
So you waste time at start with wire wheel than you sand blast it ...why such stupidity
Nice resilt, but personally i hate chrome wheels , well done
It's ok but hardly AMAZING especially that finish, was expecting a miles better end result with that headline. PFFttttttttt.
Daremna robota.
Why didn’t you just had them powdered coated? What a waste of time
Whats the recepie for chrome chemicals?
It is a mix of about 10 types of chemicals. It must be mixed in very precise proportions. Maybe I'll make a video about it.
All that effort etc for a stock steel wheel 🙄
I need Chrome combination, can you post the combination tutorial?
Plan to make video for this.
Fake. There's no way you'll get that rust pitting out with just a wire wheel and some hand sanding. You swapped it for a better wheel is my bet.
No fake is here, but you are right i used industrial sandblaster for some places of this wheel.
Snide video
Can you chrome plastic with this method?
yes of course.
What chemicals used for chrome?
Several components, basically the reductant and modifier mix and a chemical reaction takes place.
I bought some chrome steel wheels for my Hilux about 20 years ago and wondered how they chrome plated just the face of the wheels. I found out that they where done using this method. They where shit and rusted away in know time. Never again have chrome wheels on a 4 x 4 . Not worth it .
What kind of chemicals do that? Make chrome, and where do you get them?
It is a mix of about 10 types of chemicals. It must be mixed in very precise proportions. Maybe I'll make a video about it.
you put a hell of a lot of work in that how long will it hold up
Wtf are these annoying mechanic noises with reverb?
I will never buy anything named Progressive.
Still paint
Not worth the effort
Nem Parece Aquele Aro Enferrujado !!!!!!!
This guy isn't even explaining what he's doing how much he's putting into this or that or what he's spraying on it or nothing so this process does anybody know good
Only three more to go.
The fake workshop noises are so irritating lmaooooo
One.
Ale že je to kolo křivé a šišaté vám nevadí. Hlavně když se leskne 🤦♂️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You can put in video what is that chemical mix 1 and 2 , how much of what. Than will be HOW. And what is it wet agent.
Wet agent is just distiled water with dish washer foam. 🙂
Проще было керхером отбить эту ржу и так оставить.
your vlog is not tutorial
Что за раствор используется , где можно его купить?

@@LowMileageChannelI’m interested!
На алюминий можно положить такой хром?
