Clean weights easily, Restore rusty dumbbells | DIY gym equipment at home

Anyone can clean weights easily. In this video I'll show you how to make DIY gym equipment at home. I got a rusty set of dumbbells, it didn't take long to clean these weights and add a new coat of paint, now they look like new. You can do this with just a few tools and some spray paint.

What should my next project be? Let me know!

Is it necessary to place these in vinegar once you remove the rust with the 2 wire wheels ?

[@KaizenDIYGym]

@@BlackMusicGenre I’ve never used vinegar while restoring weights and dumbbells. I don’t think it’s necessary as long as you remove the rust and dust before painting.

Nice job buddy. Wouldnt a vinegar solution beforehand worked better to remove the rust? Also, did you use just one coat of paint per application?

[@KaizenDIYGym]

I tried using vinegar once and found that it was messy, time consuming and required a lot of space for all the tubs. For me, this method is much quicker. I typically do 1 to 2 coats depending on how much of the original paint is still present.

I'm wondering if using a plasti-dip type product to give the dumbells a rubberized look (instead of pewter spray paint) would work?

[@KaizenDIYGym]

That would be interesting to test out

I did it, it was just ok. After a short while it starts to peel. I left mine on for about 3 years of use but they looked really bad so I just recently used a wire wheel to get all the rubber paint and rust off and sprayed with regular paint, then I did the numbers with a paint pen but I used black and then I sprayed with 3 coats of clear coat and they look as good as new.
