EZ Wheel Painting Makeover

This wheel and car package is in need of a quick makeover so I thought I would just do a scuff and rattle can paint job. It won't be used every day so it should last a fairly long time.

That’s a neat trick with the trash bag. I’ll have to remember that one.

[@rickgeorge4150]

That's such a cool little buggy. Great job ez

[@VWJawbreaker]

That bead breaker tool looks like it works great. Never thought of using a trash bag, that’s a clever idea! Great work as always.

EZGZ I missed the talking and you sharing all your wisdom and knowledge. 😊

[@alistairclyne9362]

Great wee buggy, and a good tip about photographing the wheel before you pop the tyre from the rim … lovely colour btw👍

[@TheEZGZ]

Thanks 👍

Nice work ez!

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Nice information.

[@mikeholbrook5084]

I use my round mechanic's seat that rotates where I place the wheel on a sheet of newspaper to protect the vinyl of the seat. Then the bag and a bungie cord holding the bag tight to the tire. I can then rotate the wheel while spraying the paint. I get really great results and avoid runs and most imperfections as well as an even coating of the paint. I usually put two to three coats on each wheel.

nice!

[@tailgator1316]

exactly my method. love your videos as always. the epoxy 2 part clear coatings are really good that you can buy anywhere. its the spray cans that get activated by a hardener hidden inside. happy wheeling

[@kevinhamling1963]

G'day Mr EZGZ, That's a great idea with the garbage bag. I've just done my wheels in much the same colour and one thing I would recommend is to put a coat of clear over your paint. I went for satin clear, it hides any blemishes you might have but most of all the clear protects your paint. So thanks for sharing man ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

Great Idea!

That hood on sand rail is like taking half 11 to another level

[@TheEZGZ]

I won't be staying.. I just set it on for a look. 😄

[@RustyGlovebox]

Its the little things that makes us smile. Love the color you used on the drum ect. Too. Cooper cobras are the best. Take it to Dragonmans in CO. 🎩

[@paulzupon246]

Good video, brother. Where'd you get the neat bead breaker? Also, like the trash bag idea.

[@TheEZGZ]

I've had that thing for over 25 years. I did a google search and found one just like it at speedway for $39.95

[@mikemillett8220]

That's an interesting bead breaker, never seen that type before. where can a person find one like it?

[@johnchambers12]

I agree it is a good looking tool and I couldn’t find it yet either.

[@stuck1000]

I dig those wheels. You know what brand they are?

[@TheEZGZ]

No name on them and they came on a buggy I bought about 30 years ago.
