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.

How’s the paint holding up 3 years later?

[@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!

THIS especially when it's windy outside those index cards blow away

Thanks, brother...just bought a car to do up for my daughter's 17th and after watching your videos, I have the confidence to do all these cosmetic jobs myself safely and save that all important money. I have an innate distrust of garages due to my own ignorance (and fear) of all things car maintenance...but you're helping me along the way. Quoted £610 to refurb and paint my diamond cut 17" rims and the calipers both in semi gloss Matt)...but I'm gonna do it myself now... thanks again 👊 Gonna put a brand new engine in for her and bring the clock back to zero... but will leave that to the professionals!

When you were sanding the wheels in the beginning, would you recommend using the wire brush to make the job faster or using the sand paper grids like you did in the video?

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.

Wire brush forsure man. Sand after with 400 nd careful not to put super deep scratches with the brush

[@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.

Great video! Did you paint or replace lugs?

[@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
