Thanks so much. This was a really rewarding job. It took time to prep and the process was on the longer side, but the benefits outweigh everything else.
Great video. Getting my brass monkey kit in tomorrow and doing my wheels next week. Definitely going to keep the coats on the light side like you said. Thank you for the great tips
Funny, I stumbled on your video because I was thinking of hyperdiping my stock wheels on my car, whats funny is I drive an Elantra N, car looks good and I just ordered my brass monkey hyperdip wheel kit!
Nope. No need as the over spray was enough for what I needed. The wheels are back on for another winter season and they still look amazing. They get hammered in our Canadian winter conditions and still look great. Well worth the time invested.
how have your wheels held up since you posted this? i just ordered my brass monkey kit - mine kit included 5 cans unlike yours which seems to have had 4.
I opted for four cans as I felt that a can per wheel was good enough. They have held up extremely well. Considering I only use them for winter driving. I’ve had a couple of stone chips which are very easily taken care of by covering the disc and calliper with a bin liner. Lightly cleaning off the rippled hyper dip in the chipped area with thinners. Then cleaning off any residual thinners with the hyper dip surface prep before reapplying a few coats on the newly exposed area. It works so well, you will hardly notice the repair. I get all sorts of crap on the wheels during the winter months of driving and they still look really good. One thing I will add here is that I don’t contact wash the wheels at all. This is achievable by using the quit expensive and extremely potent BDP brake dust remover by hyper dip. It’s not cheap, and you will need to wear a mask when applying it, but it works like magic. Simply spray on, watch for the brake dust chemical reaction (turns purple) and throughly rinse off with a hose. One bottle has now lasted me two seasons, it’s well worth the money for your hyper dipped wheels.
@@desiretodetail7591 fantastic response, thank you! i figured 4 per wheel was enough too which is why i was shocked the kit included 5. I'll likely keep the 5th for touch ups. I'm using this color for summer wheels so i shouldn't be running into the same "issues" you do with them being winter wheels which makes me feel even more comfortable about the choice. I live in USA in the salt belt.. salt everywhere just eats your vehicles which I'm sure you're more than familiar with living in Canada. Super glad to hear you're still happy with the product!
Thanks. You’re going to love it. Really easy application, awesome results and very minimal maintenance, just perfect. When you apply the product, treat it as you would any other spray paint. If you get any runs, they can be easily removed by “over spraying in that area. If you’re not familiar with this check out you tube for fixing runs. I didn’t believe it until I tried it myself, it really does work and totally removes the run.
Wow I was just looking at buying this kit, and you uploaded this yesterday lol. It looks great on your car, I had hoped it would be a little bit more bronze though, I'm not sure it would looks good on a black car.
Thanks for your comment Bob. Let me just say, this colour will look more bronze in the sunlight. I can’t tell you how many different shades I’ve seen so far. The fleck really does play in the light. There were times in the garage, under the fluorescent light that the colour was almost gold looking to me. I think it would look awesome against black paint and you will benefit from the different shades depending on the light.
Hey Andrews, this colour is extremely “light dependent” meaning it can look different depending on the light at the time. It was a very overcast day when I finally finished and refitted the wheels to the car. In direct sunlight they really do look bronze, but in low light they can look more grey/pewter and every other tone in between. The amount of coats can also affect the colour but even with the amount I added, the colour still came out the same as the colour on the spray can cap. I hope this helps.
@@SL0Z07 The job took me the whole day including the drying times in between coats. Then I chose to leave them over night to have the best chance of curing, before cleaning up the over spray and mounting the wheels on to the car the next day. It was my first time so I was extra cautious and took all the time I needed.
Still going strong. This will be winter season No 3. The coating is awesome and if you use the BDP to clean the wheels, you don’t ever need to scrub them. Just spray, wait and rinse.
Hi, I hope I didn’t forget to mention that. I used the 4 cans that you see in the vid. It’s recommended to use a can per wheel and use the whole product. There shouldn’t be any product left over when you do the job correctly.
I just bought the kit from fonzie cos I live in Florida (British expat) and he sent me 5 cans. I'm going to save one for inevitable touch ups in the future
@red_limey_ Great idea, stone chips can happen. Pro tip for another UK bruvva, if you get a stone chip and need to do a touch up. Simply clean the wheel thoroughly, then use some thinners on a cloth to thin out the affected area. After this, you can reapply the Hyperdip with a couple of coats as normal. It works really well and you won’t even be able to see the fix when you’re finished. 👍🏾
Absolutely. Even easier because you can easily remove them from the wheel and give them a good cleaning first. Just be sure to dry them properly and use the “pre dip” solution to clean and prep the surface. The other great thing about doing hubcaps, is that you don’t need any dip release as your not spraying the tires, that’s if you remove the hubcaps first.
Man, I though I had a “desire to detail” lol. You could sand but really, there’s no need as the coats will completely smooth out the surface as you layer them.
If you buy directly from dip, your car, you get five cans of the brass monkey and the full kit for the same price that the company you use is charging. based on your accent I’m guessing you’re in Canada or the UK I’m not sure maybe that’s why they’re only selling four cans to offset shipping but something to check into by the way your wheels look it’s the same color I got for my wheels
Thanks brother. I’m from the UK and now living in Canada for the last 17yrs so you’re correct on both counts. I received a heavy discount when I bought the cans as I was able to drive to the Canadian company’s outlet and collect direct. The pic you see here serves as an add for them so I get treated very well when purchasing products from them. It’s a great product and I swear by it. The dip is still holding up to this day, even in this crappy BC weather. The key is in how you maintain the dipped rims. I only use the Brake Dust Pro (BDP) buy the same company. It’s a spray on, and rinse off solution. Absolutely zero contact with the rim/product and it really works well. It stinks, so if you use it, I recommend using a mask, but it’s well worth it for the results.
@@desiretodetail7591 results came out good, can't wait to do mine, thinking of doing the lighter color. Wondering after a year, are you seeing any problems? ... any premature peeling? Note that the video and edits are deceptive, you didn't explain that you were painting all four wheels at the same time. The video only shows you spraying the one left most wheel, nowhere do we see the other three wheels being sprayed or even a brief explanation. If we didn't make the assumption that you were doing all four wheels at the same time, it looks like you are using all four cans on one wheel. I did watch the full video and finally figured it out. Also, it is recommended to periodically rotate the wheels to get an even better coverage to ensure no missing spots. Anyway, thanks for doing a video on this.
@lordtule665 That’s all great advice and for that, I’m thankful. I did indeed do all four wheels at the same time in order to maintain continuity across the set. I didn’t rotate the wheels, but I did use one can at a time and not per wheel, as it may have seamed. I can safely say that the wheels have held up so well, that I’m about to put them back on for the fall/winter months and all they might need is a cleaning from getting dusty in the garage during the spring/summer storage. I even had a stone put a mark on one of the spokes and repaired the coating while the wheel was still on the car. Just masked up the calliper and disc, thinned out the damaged area with paint thinners, and then reapplied the hyper dip on the damaged area, layer by layer until it totally blended in. The difference is almost invisible. The other thing is, if you clean your dipped rims with BDP from Dip outlet, all you need to do is simply spray on, rinse off and blow dry. It’s a total “no contact” wash and the results are perfect. I’ve made a video about the product if you care to check it out. The Hyper Dip is amazing and I’ll be keeping it on as I’m very happy with it. It’s definitely stood the test of time and shows no signs of wear & tear or discolouration. Good luck with your application, I’m sure you will love the results.
@@desiretodetail7591 I appreciate the response and all the information, I'm still trying to figure out which color to use, it's either the brass monkey or bronze gold. I have a 2023 300C in Velvet Red, when I get the HyperDip on the wheels they are going to standout so nice, just having a hard time deciding which color. And then I may or may not use the same color on some accent pieces, the blackout sections like on the front lower facia.
@lordtule665 sounds like an awesome project. I would say that the brass monkey is more of a “muted” brass colour so if you’re looking for something a little brighter, I’d go with the bronze gold. I wanted something that would stand out against the red paintwork while not being too much in your face. The brass monkey is perfect in this case. Good luck with whichever one you choose.
Great, great video, mate! Well done, and I love the final product.
Thanks Nick. Still going strong in this BC weather too. 👍🏾
Great video Mike! The wheels turned out great! You’re very welcome for the tools. Anytime my friend!
Thanks Joel. Literally couldn’t have done it without you👊🏾
Oh what an exercise in patience!! 👍🏼👍🏼 Watched the whole video, great job and thorough explanation, thank you very much!
Thanks so much. This was a really rewarding job. It took time to prep and the process was on the longer side, but the benefits outweigh everything else.
Brass wheels imo, are the classiest of all colors. They look great with everything
I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for your kind comment 👍🏾
Great video. Getting my brass monkey kit in tomorrow and doing my wheels next week.
Definitely going to keep the coats on the light side like you said. Thank you for the great tips
No worries. You’re gonna love the results. Just take your time as it’s well worth it. Let us know how you get on.
Excellent detailed video. The wheels look Great on the car.
Thanks. It’s almost time to put them back on for the colder months. They held up well when they were last on the car.
Nice job. Those look sick.
Thanks Rick. It’s still holding up really well.
Fantastic job! The wheels came out great with no runs.👏👏👏
Thanks man. No runs in the result, but there were some during the process, I’ve learned the art of “wetting out” really knocks runs out.
@@desiretodetail7591 You definitely have figured out the technique 👍
It works really well😉
I did my wheels last year with obsidian black and the came out great. Now I’m definitely doing this color on my truck.
Awesome, your gonna love the way this colour plays in the light. 👍🏾
I wish I could send you a picture of my “Big Red” that’s my trucks name so you could give me some advice just don’t know how to send pictures

Did you also do the barrel of the wheel from the back or not?
Nope. No need as the over spray was enough for what I needed. The wheels are back on for another winter season and they still look amazing. They get hammered in our Canadian winter conditions and still look great. Well worth the time invested.
Looks sick. 😍
Cheers mate🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
they look nice im about to do mine over the next few days hopefully will look as good as yours happy dayz
Thanks Wayne, I’m sure yours will be awesome, just take your time with the prep and each layer.
Fantastic! I'm doing a chrome delete on my white Cadillac with this colour.
Excellent. Be sure to let us know how it turned out.
Back again!👌👍
Great video! Thanks for explications
Thanks, you’re most welcome.

Awesome detailed video & it came out amazing! What was your wait time between coats & final dry time?
Thanks mate. I was using a 15min between coats and I let them sit from early evening to the following mid day, so apparently 16hrs all in.
I'm really interested in brass monkey. It looks more metallic grey, is that accurate or did video not do it justice

One per wheel.
@@desiretodetail7591 you did an amazing job. Going to have to try this
