Will it destroy the rim after the paint wear off ?

[@MrAchilles113]

@buddy Just a few questions: I gotta wonder about the durability and longevity of painting with cans and not using a strong 2-part poly clear? Next, why are you using bumper/trim paint which I would think is optimized for plastic and not metal? Rustoleum has plenty of automative paint options too and now there are supposedly paint shop quality cans and 2-part poly clear available in cans too. Why not use those? Just curious.

Hey @buddysDIY Thanks a bunch for ur vids! My only question would be, can I go directly to the alcohol step if it’s new wheels that I don’t like the colour of ?

[@scopex2749]

Got a tip for y'all here to Mask off the tires - use DISHWASHING LIQUID SOAP! Paint this all over the tire - LET IT DRY go ahead and spray the rim - (dont worry about going over the tire!) When the paint dries hose off or pressure wash off the dish soap it will lather up taking all the extra paint with it! GO AHEAD try it. Used this method hundreds of times, cheap and easy! GREAT VIDEO BUDDY!

I didn’t have any alcohol or germ-x, so I looked around the house for something I could use to get the dust off the wheels after I sanded them. All I could find was some leftover guacamole from the restaurant to night before. Turns out guacamole is excellent for cleaning the dust off wheels before you paint them. They came out beautiful.

[@roaster591]

I used sheet plastic to mask the tire. If you have a blunt edging tool (what I call the safety-cram) you tuck the plastic under the rim edge with the tire deflated. The wheels may need sandblasting if there's a bunch of rust.

[@mediocreman2]

Just use a garbage bag with a hole in it. Even cheaper.

Great video! Ill be doing my rims next Saturday. I was hoping to see you use the wire brush in comparison with the sandpaper. I was debating renting a small 5" orbital sander to make the sanding a bit easier until I saw your wire brush as I already have a high end drill.

I ended up opting for some 2k clear coat from Max Spray for the finish which made em look nice and glossy. Some like yourself and a friend of mines like the semi look which looks equally stylish

[@AndresCobosMarin]

Forgive my ignorance, but why did you use a regular 2x primer + bumper paint + enamel gloss instead of an automotive primer + wheel paint (specially designed for wheel rims) + clear wheel paint? I mean it looks really slick but just wondering, I want to make sure I buy the right stuff and don't mix incompatible stuff or have to repaint them sooner.

Is it necessary to remove previous clear coat and sand entire rim even if there isn't much scratch or damage

[@ricknismo]

Does it last? I am curious if anyone has done a 6 month test

[@shirleyhernandez3274]

Hey, love the videos keep it up! Just wondering how much time do I have to wait in between the coats ?

[@BuddysDIY]

Hey thanks! So you wanna wait till paint is tacky but not dry. Honestly I usually paint about 5-10 mims between coats. Any paint can will usually say "Between a few mins and 45 mins." You don't wanna wait till its dry But you also wanna give it atleast 3 mins or so to not be soaking wet. If youre in a super cold area id wait about 20 mins, And youre doint it in the sun or in a warm area liie texas, florida, Airzona, if say 5 mins is probably enough.

[@mgamga9476]

I have a 2012 grand Cherokee that is black I use that trim and bumper paint on all of my faded black plastic moldings it came out amazing after using black magic, back to black. Wich lasted a few months till it was all faded again. I decided to just paint them. I used that trim and bumper paint. They look like brand new. The black plastic around my roof rack was so faded and same result..like new. About two hot summers and still looks like brand new. People always are surprised when I tell them my Grand Cherokee is 2012. Because it looks almost like a new truck. And it Is 9yrs old.

[@didrikkarlsen3225]

Hello! Love your videos! Especially the car flipping series :) But I have a question: what do you do on the inside/backside of the rim? Do you paint that as well? If so, turn the wheel and the same procedure? How does paint compare against plasti dip?

[@dylantheshotgunner5136]

Plasti dip will flake off and chip especially in the sun since all it is, is a rubberized coating. Actually painting like this will last much much longer. And it would be the same exact procedure on the backside of the rim

[@jotithind7502]

Great job. I was wondering if you need to apply a clear coat on the rims for added protection? I'm in Toronto so we get brutal snow and salted roads for like 6 months

[@mediocreman2]

Yes you should unless the paint already is a two in one product that has a clearcoat in it. But even those won't be as good as a separate clear coat.

[@c4eze]

[@nicko7238]

Do you have to turn the wheel around and paint the back (inside) too? If yes, did you sand it down and primer it? Thanks!

[@BuddysDIY]

I did a few inches in there!

[@steelonius]

They look great. I'm going to do the same. Do you have any tips for the lug nuts to avoid getting paint or clearcoat on the threads? If you layer to much primer, paint, and clear coat are there issues with fit? I'm probably over thinking it but would rather not get to the end and realize I did something stupid.

[@BuddysDIY]

Haha don't worry about the threads. They will screw in fine even with 10 coats on them. The paint will simply peel off and it won't harm anything!

[@renaissancemaneric8019]

I prefer VHT epoxy paint for rims. No primer needed. But I'll try out your preference just to see.

[@RHopper33981]

I don't like the Rustolium Clear Coat, It doesn't hold up to weather as well and will come off if Acetone or Purple Power is used to clean the wheels. And a factory clear coat will hold up. Also what I use is Maxx 2K Clear. It not only holds up and doesn't come off with the Acetone or Purple Power, but it has a high gloss shine and lays much better. Just looks better and lasts longer.

[@mguti179]

Thanks for this tip. 1st timer and I'm so confused on the enamel vs lacquer vs urethane discussion too. I want to use max 2k clear like you said but have read in multiple places that you CAN'T use rustoleum underneath because they are different paints and can cause bubbling during evaporation if not cured for like a week. Do you know if that's true? is dupli-color better than rustoleum for the color coats? help lol

[@RHopper33981]

@@mguti179 I wouldn't know about that. But Duplicolor is an auto paint, just like Maxx 2k clear is. So I would stick with that combo.

[@shawnmckenzie1786]

I watched your caliber painting video and this. Nicely done presentation. Peace and prayers.

[@stretchipress]

Thanks for this informative video!! Would the rims still be power-washable? Also, do you spray the “inside” or the other side of the rims as well? Thanks!!

[@BuddysDIY]

I did not spray the inside but you can. I find it pointless since light never gets in there. Also with a little bit of driving it will get brake dust in there and it'll be black as can be in there. I'd try tj get a few inches in there when you initially spray them. And yes they can be power washed for sure. Give them proper curing time and they will be super durable

[@Dixler683]

Sure hope that worked out for you. 500 grit paper will not remove 150 sanding scratches. Germ-X has skin conditioners and will leave behind a film hindering adhesion. You should be using epoxy based paints.

[@janzugic6798]

i cant believe thats the same rim... insane dude

[@BuddysDIY]

Still looks great to this day

[@jzpwhyyouwantmysurname3638]

Hi, Great vid, thanks. I never thought of using sanitizer to prep, always was worried the additives would interfere with the adhesion. So just wanted to double check, Germ-x contains some "nourishing and lipid regulating additives". Doesn't it leave any residue that could cause problems down the line?

[@haroonahmed5667]

your not going to paint on top of the germx, you are going to wipe it away and i don’t think it will leave much residue for it to make a huge difference. i’m doing my rims right now and i used germ x, will let you know if it messes up

[@haroonahmed5667]

update: the paint was not effected at all and it still came out perfect, don’t hesitate to use germx, i think you can use anything alcohol based to clean the dirt / dust! tip: when u take the wheel off the car, paint the calliper while u have the wheel off to save a lot of time, and then do the wheel. u can paint the wheel while the calliper is drying and smash it out

[@tukulitozakayamas2103]

cool. if i still want to preserve the original color of the rims. can i skip to primer and paint? or is always necessary to sand.

[@areu_kiddingme]

The aloe in that hand sanitizer could have caused you issues wouldn't it? It leaves a sort of residue... I'd only go with straight rubbing alcohol
