How to paint wheels using Dupli-Color to achieve a nice finish

[@solanogonzalez823]

I really want to thank you for making this videos doing this projects on a budget. I work really hard but don't always have the money to spare to do high end jobs or pay someone to do this things for me. You make this fun and gratifying... I've learned a lot watching your videos so thank you! God bless...

[@jonalarcon8564]

I am a van gogh of the spray can and this is some of the best spray paint I ever used it's great on engine blocks and on rims

[@jimbo5635]

That sander is doing good. They should sponsor you! Wheels look great. Keep doing what you love and more success will come your way.

[@DCopp]

Duplicolor nozzles are the greatest. With 1 coat primer and base, if you get a bad tire guy, that paint is toast...

[@JamesDguy]

Snake Doc right I have been a tire tech for years I prefer to do them myself

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I think it would be cool to paint the calipers the same shade of purple as the bumpers plug things. Would be a nice contrast behind the gold wheels as well

[@ratasfamily3571]

Amazing work! Is 2 AM for me and is worth it , Thax for all you videos, always a honest and cheap ways to put your car in style. P.S dont see the like in the description.

[@Rlinsenbach]

Gonna try this on my spare set of GSR mesh Integra rims. Gotta work up the courage to attempt this on my Enkei RSV's

[@Mike-pu3ot]

Looks great really looks like a new car and wheels great job

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

Looks good. I will look into what colors they have. I might paint just the inside of my blazer wheels... They are peeling real bad. Maybe a dark charcoal grey... I didn't know thwy made wheel paint.

[@danielsgarage4476]

It looks really good on the car and once you add the red calipers it will look really nice

[@jakegrant6155]

Lose the chrome center cap and it looks much better bro nice job 👍

I dont know if you tough about it but you easily buy in cars trougth Craigslist for cheap ,fix them and sell them one at a Time stick to hondas only they sell fast.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Those wheels turned out great.I painted the wheels on one of my cars (2005 Ford Five Hundred), first rose gold for a while, then light blue (the car is greay), for masking off my air stems I used big straws.

[@jocelynjossyayala2943]

You make painting so easy.... I want to give a try.😂

They look sick bro. I hope Dupli-color doesn't sleep on you like that other company that will remain nameless did.

[@JamesDguy]

SHRED CT I’m sure they will but then again i have to reach out as well.

[@jimmyjeeper]

That car looks 100 times better then it did when you bought it!

[@JamesDguy]

jimmyjeeper when I very first bought it the car was silver then we painted it light turquoise then sold it now have it back and did this. But I agree

[@roderickdewberry9753]

Outstanding job, once again. Keep up the good work.

[@hdeyncrky]

Refinish the headlights and it will spruce it up even more.

Hello, could you please share with us if the primer help to improve the adherence of the over time? Or it didn't help at all? Thanks

[@TheCulture]

You should try a 16$ harbor freight spray gun in one of your future videos. They have great deals and I think there having a promo for 20% off.

[@JamesDguy]

The Culture I have owned one for many years lol 😂 I planed on it though.

[@Muffin192213]

Is it possible to leave the wheels on and get good results?

[@gboss2147]

Great video man wheels look amazing. I’m going to do this tomorrow i think. if I buy a gloss black in the same Dupli color brand do you think I still need to use a clear coat at the end or is there no need?

[@starmotorsports8937]

Would they hold up during winter?

looks great. what other spray paint u recommend for wheels

[@JamesDguy]

Adam Dizon Majic tractor paint, VHT paint

[@adam_1dizon121]

@@JamesDguy thanks man im limited where i am.. also which is better lacquer or enamel

[@filcandiy]

Amazing result! Im getting an idea to do my wheels , i like how u break it down from start to finish ? Was the base coat u use was the gloss one ? Does it really matter if you use flat or gloss on this procees? Reason i ask coz theres one on this duplicolor on black which are matt , semi gloss, gloss. Which is better to use?

[@juarezzz3475]

Did it last good?

[@jackiecarpenter7747]

I'm doing vht spray paint, how should I apply clear coat when the paint is completely dry? Should I apply more paint to let the clear have something to tack too?

[@jasontanaka9812]

Is it necessary to paint the back of the rim, or can you just get away with just painting front.

[@pitataufatofua9360]

How has it held up ?

[@stringsnare]

is it worth doing the gloss clear coat? im worried it will make my vw wheels too shiny.

[@BigGroovyOg]

How long did they last before chipping

[@adamblue7441]

Civic looks great man awesome job.you should don't the windows also

[@gerardorubio5983]

Is the dupli-color clear solvent resistant? Is a y2k clear a better choice?

[@JamesDguy]

Gerardo Rubio 2k would be a better choice but I didn’t wanna wait on shipping

[@gerardorubio5983]

@@JamesDguy thanks.

[@violet1609]

I have a question!! When spray painting a vehicle that has a dark color paint job and turning it into a light color, would it be better to paint the entire thing white first to make the colors brighter or is that unnecessary??

[@JamesDguy]

Magnolia Rose yea white primer would be the best option

[@mariomenjivar2024]

The paint job really dope 👏👏👏. Like you said like factory paint. How’s the paint holding now, after you put new wheels? Any chips?

[@onlybyHisgrace14-6]

Its looking good!! Im trying to talk my dad into spraying his ef sedan with the majic paint in massey grey!!

[@JamesDguy]

Casey McCallister that would be awesome. I recommend using more reducer because it was just a little thick would lay smoother if it had been thinned out more.

[@onlybyHisgrace14-6]

Thanks for the tip brother!! God Bless!!!

Oh I see I do need to sand the curb rash thank you for video

[@JamesDguy]

Smoke Jumper Thank you

[@jimher8810]

How many coats did you do on each wheel? I want to paint mines gold too. Yours came out awesome!!

[@tonycervantes4816]

3 or 4 coats of paint . Every 10 /15 mmts each coat ..

[@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS]

Nice! What grit of sand paper would you say is closest to the scotch brite you finished with? Can't find a solid answer online

[@JamesDguy]

BLUEFEATHEREDOLIVES I would say 220-320

[@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS]

@@JamesDguy ok because I did all my sanding with 220. Wasn't sure if I should do it all again with ~400

[@JamesDguy]

BLUEFEATHEREDOLIVES 400 would really make it even better though

[@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS]

@@JamesDguy cool I'll go ahead and do the 400. Thank you for the insight

[@punisher6508]

Is one can enough for all 4 wheels?

[@zachgiberson3970]

The rims look dope but I do not like the caps you should try to find 1 in black or something like that

[@amyross8259]

How many coats did you do of primer, base and clear coat? Thank you!!!

[@IWH8023]

how many cans did you use?

[@julio3arias]

Is the clear coat necessary?

[@jasontanaka9812]

How many cans did you end up using.

[@philipjohn4149]

I think also after 48h you can apply a clear coat. Is that true?

[@morgantran7097]

Do you know the model of those wheels I have the same set, but I wanna know what enkei calls them

[@fred5149]

What gold exactly is that ? Sunburst gold ?

[@kitefl]

Duplicolor or rustomleum for wheels? Going to use off the shelf stuff, not spray max.

[@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS]

How long after painting wheels can you drive on the road?

[@JamesDguy]

BLUEFEATHEREDOLIVES As long as you avoid dirt roads you should be good after about 30 mins to an hour. But most would recommend longer but I’m not much on rules lol

[@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS]

@@JamesDguy haha thanks! Sounds good. I finished painting my 4 coats (Rustoleum Gloss Black, 2-in-1) around 5 PM and my customer will be coming by around 5 PM tomorrow.

[@anne8967]

How many cans for a set of wheel?

[@anne8967]

Nevermind , just read the description. Thanks

[@colerobinson3624]

2 questions, how many cans did of each product did you need for all four wheels? and what grit sandpaper did you use to remove old finish on the wheels

[@Okey_dokey]

Hello Cole. Did you find out how many cans you did for all four wheels? Because I'm planning on doing it but I'm not sure how many I need. I looked up online and it said 4 cans per each wheel and I don't think that's right so. Let me know if you found out. Thanks! Have a great day.

[@enzprintco.8625]

Pardon if this is a stupid question (there are stupid questions lol), but how does the paint not get all scratched to poo on a tire changer? I wanna paint my wheels but I’m afraid when I get new tires, they’re gonna get all poo’d up. Rad videos! You are in my suggestions so much, figured I was subscribed...I wasn’t lol. Am now! Thanks!!! :)

[@brotzelj]

Good work!

[@robertbrown4262]

Why did you not clean the wheels first with a degreaser and brush to remove everything front and back.

Hi can you show the best rostuleom paint for a car. Planning to repaint mine. Thank you in advance

[@andrea4809]

I hope you did not drive around with 4 unbalanced tires, and they don't replace valve stems when you get new tires unless you ask them or they are damaged.

[@KBMOTORSchannel]

Bro!! Check out my rim paint video! I use x2 coverage paint and the look good. I did it a while ago and they still look powder coated.
