Spray Painted Wheels 2 Years Later! | DID IT LAST??

- original video: • How To Spray Paint Whe...
A couple years ago, I made a video called "How to Spray Paint Wheels Like a PRO!" Recently, that video is getting a lot of attention, so I thought I would do a follow up and show you how they look two years later.
Supply List:
Sonax: amzn.to/2rh3HEo
Duplicolor Paint: amzn.to/2qkRTB1
Duplicolor Clear Coat: amzn.to/2r7q69X
Masking Tape: amzn.to/2r7wY72
Wheel Brush: amzn.to/2pMfr0A
Despite a lot of skeptics, the paint actually held up fine. It's not quite as glossy as the day I painted it, but for about $25 in supplies, I can't complain. If you are planning to spray paint your wheels, here are a few quick tips that I didn't mention in my original video:
1. Don't paint them on the grass. You will end up getting pollen and little bugs in the paint which is annoying.
2. Allow the wheels to dry overnight before reinstalling them. Wait at least 24 hours before driving.
3. If you don't want to use masking tape, you can use index card to keep the paint off the tires. Simply tuck the card between the tire and the fender.

I really like the fact that you did a follow-up video to show just how well the project lasted. Great work young man!
I painted the rear brake drums on my GMC Sierra with the cheapest gloss black paint I could find from home depot. Prepped and painted very similar to how you did the rims. Only difference being I had to use a metal wheel to remove surface rust. Long story short it has been a couple years and they still look good. When paint prep is done correctly spray paint can last as long as any other paint.
Nice update! I watched your older video a couple weeks ago and am gonna paint my Fusion wheels black very soon. Thanks to TH-cam pros like you I can figure out how to do just about anything and I'm no car guy!
This just goes to show you how important proper prep work is before painting. Great job dude.
Justin I know you’re a busy dude and have a life but we need more videos man. Keep up the great work.
Agreed, we absolutely need more videos
Thank you for the video, I’m painting my wheels tommorow and I needed a solid video to help me out, this one defiantly did and will really benefit me when I go to do the painting.
You are very patient. Good tutorial and update. I think I'm going to do mine now. 👍
It takes courage to be humble. Keep up the good job!!
Great video! Thanks for taking time to follow up with the 2 years later info. Really appreciate it!
Glad I could help!
Looks good Justin! I painted the wheels on an old car many many years ago. They looked okay but did not hold up very long at all. Back then there was no TH-cam to get good ideas (actually no pc’s or internet ...). Yeah, I’m probably older than your dad!!
Dont have questions as you were thorough in both vids, thumbs up man!!!!!
Awesome results with the budget and DIY techniques! I will use 2k clear coat so the gloss finish will last longer IMO. Great work man.
Awesome honest detailed video, straight to the point! Thank you
Yo. Including those new video bits for your new tips was awesome. That is quality. Thank you.
Very well done sir!
Production, editing, video, audio, Top Notch
Excellent! So excited to do my Miata wheels in a great color
Somebody get this boy a damn iron!!
Nice update. Been needing to do this to my wheels on my 4Runner
Was thinking that myself 😂
😂
You ain't the only one. I hate ironing too.😂😂😂
That's what she said...😉👍
Great job. Thanks for the lesson and youre a great son for taking care of your Mom's car.
I have watched both videos. I'm so glad I found you. I am going to paint my 2018 Mini Cooper Countryman's wheels. Black because I just got new tires and I have really scuffed up my silver wheels. 🙃 thanks!
great video, getting ready to do my wheels, thanks for the tips!
Appreciate your hard work and videos brother 👊💯
Did not see the original video but you did a great job on the wheels 👍
Hey I appreciate all the great tips I recently got a 2012 bmw 328i n all I been watching it’s your videos n learning all the tips u gave us i became a big fan of your channel few weeks ago thanks n keep up the good videos u do great brother 👍🏽
Welcome to the channel! 😎
Very empressive for a young man to tackle this job. All who viewed this learned something.
2 Thumbs up for you Sir. Well done. I did that to my motorcycle wheels :) came out awesome. Thank you
Thanks for the update 👊🏾
Thanks for the tips! Speaking of tips and wrinkled shirts. Get spray water bottle mist both sides of shirt and do toro swings holding from shoulder corners. Perfectly wrinkled free and quick and easy! Been doing that since middle school.
Great follow up!
Wheels are great...good job, thanks for sharing. You could deflate tyres before spraying to make it easier to mask them off.
As always, thank you for the tips.
Great job mate!
gna take a shot at this soon... simple amd spot on direction DYI... thanks!!
Will be doing this soon... great video! checked the original out and the extra tips on this one makes it perfect! thanks
Great video Justin just found by accident but very helpful for when i do mine in the summer Thanks!!
Great job!!
Cool stuff, mate.
Keep on keepin' on.
Great job bruh! enjoyed the original video.
Great job!
I am definitely doing this to my moms ‘13 Elantra and my Mazda Protege (it’s silver so black wheels should look good) thanks for your videos bro! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Great video Justin
Two great videos!
Again, Great Job!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
THanks for this follow-up!!!
No problem!
Well done Justin.,
Nice video buddy. If you listen carefully to the sound track while spraying both the paint and clear coat, it was evident that either the can's were not thoroughly shaken, the cans were nearly empty OR the can's tube was not designed to spray from the nearly horizontal angle you were holding the cans in. You could clearly hear part of your application was the product alternated by just the propellant which will certainly affect your final result, giving you far more orange peel despite how well the paint self-levels. I suggest you try supporting the wheel in a nearly upright vertical position That will allow you to hold your spray can close to vertical as well. The brand you chose features a patented "fan spray" tip that will give you better results than competing sprays, but the finest tip cannot compensate for holding the can at an angle beyond around 45 degrees. Keep up the good work and the end result after 2 years shows that you did a great job overall!.
Your camera/video work is amazing
Thank you! 🙏🏻
@@justinbuice DUDE -- Your video skills are NEXT LEVEL. ...very impressive... LOOK INTO BRIDGE CAMERAS if you do not have one already -- but I am guessing you have one!
Thanks for this video! Well explained and very informative! You just inspired me to do mine! Subscribed!
Nice video. Great job.
They still look good
Nice work.
dope bro!!! thx 4 the upload!
Thank you. I love the way that they still look on my car!
You have a good son. Good job on the parenting. We all know it starts there.
@@picklemetimbers3003 Awwww...thanks! We are so proud of him!
Such a thorough update great job!
well done!
You did a good job. Still holds today. 👍 What's the music track playing? 👌 Keep up the great work.👍
Great work, regards from Denmark.
I don't have enough money to powder coat my wheels but this video helped me make my decision on painting my wheels with spray paint. Hopefully I'll have more money saved up next year to get mine powder coated
Got a question, Justin. How do you the driver's cup holder to slide out after a drink has spilled on it? I have cleaned mine but still doesn't eject all the way out.👍😁
That was useful as I want to touch up my wheels as well.
Question: some people apply the clearcoat when the other paint is still kind of wet (to make it flow better in each other) do you recomend this? And did you sand before you applied the clearcoat?
I'm in the middle of doing mine now 2 down 2 to go, hope they last through a scottish winter
@Bodhi Deangelo Whoa! bots
How did they hold up?
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.
Great Work!!! I am thinking of doing my Rim on my Truck..
I bought a set of gold gta rims for my IROC I went to kmart bought 4 cans of paint and painted them on the car i had the car for 5 years and the paint still look good when i sold it
great job.
I need some good advice I recently painted my wheels rims on my motorcycle and they don't look that great my next question is where do I go from here did I start completely over or should I wet sand them down to where I can paint over them again
Awesome
Hi Justin, how do you fix a scratch at the edge of the wheel only. this happens when parking, I did this to my Lincoln mkc, it is about 2". Do you need to paint the whole wheel again or just the spot where the scratch is. thanks
What gear shift knob is that? (at 6:10) - that looks awesome and would love to buy one just like it.
I have the same wheels that need to be painted. How was the color match with the Dupicolor silver paint? Was it a near match to the original wheel paint color?
👍👍good video bro
Was helpful!
I'm doing this to my ranger factory rims this weekend.
If you are going to do the inside of the drum do you do the front first then turn over and do the inside or do you do the inside first and then front??
I want to get a set of rims off craiglist that have no tires on them and are only $100 and paint them myself. Do you see the paint holding up if I paint the rim and let the paint dry for at least a week, then have tires mounted? Or do you think the paint will scratch off when tires are mounted?
Damn bro,.. STILL looks good.
Great video! I was going to try this myself but didn't have a clue where to start. One question, the product that you used first that turned red and you sprayed off, do you use this with every car wash or just for special products?
I only use it occasionally if the wheels are really dirty. Maybe once per month, if that
Awesome Work JUSTIN!
Bout how much did you Spend Per Rim $$ ???
I thought that was a perfectly circular pube at 5:01 lol. And the ending transitions of u cleaning the bmw interior was pretty sweet.
Thanks! I think that was some kind of sticker that I painted over lmao
Marshall Fox it may have been
Hey just wondering did the rim wheel cover look silver color or more of a grey color? please let me know thanks
Love your e90, looks great!! 🤩 Don't ever sell it 💯
Thank you!
Nice job I’m gonna do mine tomorrow
Hi do u need to sand the wheel first or csn i lay primer then paint
Hi. I didnt know Firestone tires in USA are manufactured in Thailand. I was about to comment on the tyres though.
Nice kicks!
I was thinking of getting my rims professionally painted and saw some local shops charging $150-200 per rim! I think I’ll just do it myself put my own labor in and save money. If I have to repaint them every couple years so be it I’d rather repaint them every couple years for $30-40 in supplies than go to a “professional” for a simple black painted rim. Thanks!
Totally. For what they’re charging you can almost just buy new rims.
For cleaning purposes for aluminum mags,after sanding use a1 to 1 acetone and water mix for fingerprints after rinsing with water hose...
question to anyone giving input...assuming I sand very well (220 then 400 grit) and clean well and dry...I bought duplicolor green can self etching primer and duplicolor high performance wheel coating gloss black. Do these work together? IF I do a clear coat...do I ...
#1. apply the duplicolor clear or go for the 2k (harder more durable)? I read that 2K should only be used for certain paints.
#2. should I apply clear coat when still tacky 40-45 min after last paint coat or wait 3 or 4 hours
Hello! I'm living in Romania and on the link you put in the description they said that they don't have sellers in my country. In that case what different type of product you suggest? Thanks!
Fantastic, great job m8. Might even try it myself although think mine might be past rescuing lol
It’s worth a shot! Paint is cheaper than new wheels!
You should do a later video on your rotors you painted..A lot of people thought they wouldn’t last,remember?
Where did you get those rims on the beemer
Do you clean the wheels the same way you would clean it normally? I mean do you use different chemicals and wipe gently so it doesn’t scratch paint
How long did you wait between applying each coat of paint?
Qn, if we are spraying brand new silver rims to a matt black. 1. Do i still have to sand down with 200 and 400? 2. How many cans of matt black u think is needed going from silver to matt black. Thx
great review, how long did you take before painting the clear coat on? Usually that's on the cans but it differs from one paint to another and I'd hate to get orange peel
In the sun - 2 hours Cloudy - 4 hours... ...depending on humidity.... over 90% humidity - double those times....
When she has to have her tires changed, the paint is going to be gouged on the edges. Also, during the stages of painting, sanding the paint down to a glossy smooth finish before adding the clear is key as well as sanding the clear to a glossy smooth finish. This will help eliminate brake dust from becoming trapped in the irregular/rough surface for easy cleaning. Overall, this is a great job! Very cost effective.
You do not have to sand the paint before clear… Especially metallics. Doesn’t work like that.
Great video!! Redoing my winter wheels in same color Duplicolor. Someone told me I should be using a 2K clear. The wheels will only be on the car 3-4 months a year, do you recommend using the Duplicolor clear or 2K clear? I noticed you're in Michigan, did your mom use the refinished wheels in the winter and go through the car wash once a week with them?
Also, how long did you wait between spraying last base coat and first clear coat...and how much time between clear coats?
Hey I liked your video and I found it informative. I have a new truck and I just put 20s on it. But I am wondering how often you think you will have to repaint those Wheels? They do look good after 2 years for sure. Do you think you get longer where if you had them professionally done or if the product that you use is the main factor? Thanks in advance
They still look good after two years. A professional paint job will last longer but we are talking $500 to have a pro strip the wheels down and re-finish them compared to $20 doing it yourself
