How to Paint Motorcycle Wheels. Speed T Project

[@HalfdeadRider]

I want heat changing paint on my bike now, that cam cover looks awesome.

[@RacerX013]

Awesome paint skills man, you have to do the engine with the colour changing effect. Would the frame also get hot enough to change colour? Maybe something to think about. Keep the vids coming, can't wait to see what you paint next.

[@kaidendad9299]

I like the bike how it sits now, with the new wheels.

[@ocgmike132]

makes me jealous i dont have any of that equipment im about to spray my wheels with a can of Montana gloss black💀

[@mura0]

Good looking results. Did you sand them before and/or after the clearcoat?

[@jarickup]

Can you do this with spray cans? Which brand would you recommend?

[@PrathamKamath1984]

Awesome painting skills buddy. I wish i could paint my motorcycle wheels like this. It would surely stand out from the crowd.

[@MK6062]

That heat changing paint! Awesome

[@anthonyanders7943]

Hey first and for most...your awesome👍 second i've learn so much from your videos. Thank you and get it going with the vids. Tony from Texas

[@Drace1369]

Would you recommend to have the wheels bead blasted first or just sand them as you did before painting? Thanks

[@Viaticboston]

Brilliant, very skilful mate. Wish my speed triple got this much TLC

[@cremedeju]

Great video, could you please do an example of how you would approach painting a wheel which has bad/flaking paint that you could not scuff up and paint over? This is often the case for people wanting to paint their wheels i.e. what the best DIY method would be for preparing aluminium wheels for new paint with paint stripper or something similar

[@pmodd]

Boris Diamond Just get them sandblased. I recently got a set done for about $35 per wheel. When you consider the absurd amount of time needed to remove paint with sanding and chemicals versus just handing them to a shop, it will take you more time to remove the paint yourself than it will to earn that $140 in your normal job, extra shift or a cashie on the side.

[@damer651]

Truly amazing job!

[@paulmunro3050]

That colour change paint effect! Awesome

[@Black_Onyx]

Why you didn't simply remove the tires instead of spending a mile of tape ;)

[@madeleinegillett5892]

Pascal Pereira Because that's a lot of effort and there's a chance you can chip the new paint seven putting the tyres back on

[@goozlo]

@@madeleinegillett5892 so you will never change tyres again??

[@madeleinegillett5892]

@@goozlo not what I said. Fresh paint is known to be a lot more fragile, even when having had a day or two to cure. Usually by the time the tyres need to be changed, the paint and clear coat have bonded well and are solid so more resistant to chipping or scratching. I wouldn't wanna risk changing a tyre on a newly painted rim

[@Jay-mz7dr]

Hey love your work. I am brand new to painting. Just sanded and etch primer (from can) some dirt bike chrome wheels that were too beat up to polish back.I didn't see this video prior and didn't put an adhesion promoter on first!! Should I wet and dry sand the wheels before applying the Acrylic satin fast dying finish coat (black in can) and then a clear multi-purpose Acrylic paint coat to follow? Or do I need to strip back an apply an adhesion promoter for a better finish? Really wan to attend some workshops after this COVID19 crisis. J

[@kevinlinn1984]

Maybe just me, but won't putting a new tire on that later down the line just rip through that paint? Isn't that why they powder coat rims...to be more durable than paint?

[@MinotaurvsCyclops]

spray it again then I guess ;)

[@loganbeall509]

Looks amazing mate would buy it for sure

[@adamedwards6032]

Hey bud, been following you on instagram aswell for a long time. If i accidentally got a few spots back to metal. Do i have to prine it?

[@TheBluesking17]

Beautiful job!!

[@ajlooney1358]

Wow stunning art

[@LeeVTV-jp4mi]

Nice video & the coolest part of the video is the song. 👍👆👆👆😇😇😇

[@jorgespartan1978]

Dave what paint do you use for the exhaust and how do you pain it. Im a big fan of your videos, great source of information! Saludos all the way from mexico !!

[@34D513]

yeeeessss more heat changing for sure. still a pretty rare paint to find on projects imo so it would be unique

[@anthonybarajasthebarber3997]

What number is the sanding sponge better for rims ?! I have a 2014 yamaha r6 and want to paint them by tomorrow

[@madeone1837]

Hey man can you do some vids on spraying satin black and matte black

[@muzkur]

That bike will be INSANE

[@whitlcj1]

Is it possible to color match a stock vehicle colors and translate it to a candy finish? Say you want the original ford Emberglo which was a two stage paint job. Use a black base with minimal flake, a second layer of 2k clear, spray the Emberglo, then a layer of 2k clear. Am I on the right track?

[@3rekoatskustoms145]

Luv the rims I to paint motorcycles and rims but they seem to chip up fast and easy wat can I do to prevent this from happening...I really need to knw....can wait to see more

[@ZingTowPootWerkins]

3re koats kustoms You can't really. If you want durability against stones get them powder coated, if you want eye bending effects go paint and park it hard at the bike show and tow it home... :D

[@Bossbase11]

Hello customspraymods,where did you purchase that great stand that moves 360 to help you paint 360 and makes the job real easy??

[@customspraymods]

Alex Anderson hey mate. It's a broom handle and some tripod stands

[@Bossbase11]

@@customspraymods can I purchase a stand like this online??

[@beaupfeifferrecordings]

cool watch bro I wana see more that hot water at the end made sutch a cool effect

[@kadiocalc]

looks awesome. I wouldn't want to change the tyres on that tho. Deffo paint that engine.

[@kevinlinn1984]

Also, are you supposed to sand in between coats or before you clear?

[@ThePoleLine]

yet again very cool

[@danielubanan5503]

How long did you wait before you could put masking tape on the paint?

[@eric62backstrom]

how come you didnt take the tires off?

[@daneulrich2812]

Hey dave, is it possible to mix a matte black and red pearl with a strong matte finish?

[@customspraymods]

Dane Ulrich sure is man. But the Matt clear does not show off the pearl as much. Flakes with Matt clear might look cool.

[@daneulrich2812]

customspraymods ok so if I were to mix a satin/ matte black with a red pearl mixed in would it show? I'm looking for a satin black finish but where the light reflects off the satin I'd like a tint of red

[@shaneweightman]

Would have been nice to have seen them on the bike ,, great job. Shane uk

[@TheJigFreak]

Master Dave...help!! Im having problems spraying clear coat in motor rims... when i spray from the right side, i will get overspray dusts on the left...vice versa... so its never ending story lol. Should i 1- use a larger gun? 1.7 or 2mm? Or 2- add more reducer to the clear mix so that it wont dry up too fast? Or 3- any solutions other than above? Cheers...

[@customspraymods]

TheJigFreak yes try and get it to dry slower. Or once you have finished empty the clear out of the gun and add thinners only. Then spray over the overspray. This may smooth it out.

[@TheJigFreak]

@@customspraymods you da Masta Dave!! Cheers... God bless..

[@baronteddyvonforsthoffer2567]

They look gorgeous. How long do you wait to put the tape on the fresh paint?

[@customspraymods]

Baron Teddy Von Forsthoffer about 20minutes is fine mate.

[@baronteddyvonforsthoffer2567]

Thank you!!!

[@paulclark5910]

Beautiful paint. But I'm mystified that you'd be prepared to do that much work on the paint and not take the trouble to remove the tires first. Doesn't that leave a weak edge to the paint?

[@CarManiac125]

I'm not a bike guy but if I were, I'd like the engine to color change. It's just to cool not too

[@dakotadriggers8838]

those wheels look amazing

[@peterjoseph1851]

Love your videos. Do you ever hold classes on how to paint. If so how much does it cost?

[@MikeyMike0954]

Beautiful work!

[@mavdog87]

looks awesome, ill send some ducati monster wheels if youre looking for more vids!

[@shery6373]

hey bro! first of all u r doing a really nyc job (y) i wanna ask that is there any way to paint car's rim(alloy) into chrome, eg silver chrome, gold chrome etc?? waiting for ur reply..

[@crackerican69]

sheraz nasir alsa corp has a good line of products for chrome painting. a little pricey but well worth it. and DEFINITELY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!

[@shery6373]

ohkk.. So is it available on any online store?

[@crackerican69]

alsacorp.com they have a lot of crazy products from chameleon paints and fabrics, to color shift, to glow in the dark and heat induced color change.

[@shery6373]

chris soto waoo, thts awesome 🤤 Thnx alot man.. thnx for ur tym.. :)

[@crackerican69]

[@bawangnetwork1866]

Truly inspiring Dave! Question..do you cut and buff after clear coating the rims?

[@customspraymods]

Bawang Network thanks man. No I didn't buff these.

[@HEKTIC458]

Looks good

[@PJPEE]

Could you do an updated car respray video?

[@gabe321]

Very nice.

[@MissJen27]

Please do an interior painting video!

[@mandlakei3053]

my wheels are spoked, how do i prep them properly?

[@Limeayy]

can you do this with normal car wheels?

[@tompeter7326]

Great job, BUT the wheels got to be balanced again and the counter weights to be sticked/glued on to the rim beds....OMG the next tyre change with new weights and old to be removed...will be a nightmare to any tyre mounting guy. I would do it only with a disclaimer of Liability. I wouldn´t paint the rim bed on a street bike. Getting the rim bed polished is another thing.

[@r.s.kkshatriya4032]

really good work

[@sanatan5339]

both color name??

[@markt9564]

Absolutely awesome...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@coontent-tv]

Great job!!

[@NM-Collection]

you sand them dry?

[@gamingdelux0078]

Really good job! :)

[@jarreau2001]

What's the purpose of the base coat reducer?

[@edwardzx7]

jarreau2001 if your needle on the gun is to small it helps thin out the base coat to "flow" through a lot smoother! Very helpful when spraying metallics!

[@johnnysantana1185]

nice work

[@steinmar2]

Finish this project!

[@SMU_3L]

Just ordered myself the new street triple S A2 (same thing as the LAMS bike in Australia - uses the same 660 engine). Speed triple is my dream bike though :D
