HOW TO PAINT YOUR RIMS

[@bingster-223]

I'd be proud to have a set of wheels painted that good on my car.

[@aintmybabyfour]

Just a little suggestion to everybody, I would take the center cap off then paint them separately. When whoever goes to balance the wheels, they might peel the paint up when taking the center cap off.

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

Nice to see someone demonstrating the REAL and most PROFESSIONAL way of painting ur rims. Great video bro! Gonna paint mine that exact same way thanx 👍 subbed....

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thanks brother

[@craigglossop4595]

The most professional way would be to take the tyres off the rims

[@goatpier7570]

@@craigglossop4595 and have it in a fully dust proof room. You can do this by a special film you tape around you walls and air purifier

[@dmalott0908]

I've watched so many of your videos on painting but have never painted anything until now. I painted the inside of my nephews rims on his mini cooper last night using your guidelines and they turned out so amazing!!! Painting the front of them tomorrow and hoping for the same results. Love the videos and the fact that you're sharing your skills and knowledge for those of us who want to do this, but are a little timid to "pull the trigger." Been subbed for a while, finally putting some of your knowledge to use.

[@accuratein04]

Woke up this morning and decided I want to properly paint my wheels so I came here to learn. Thanks for your video!

[@chasinggreatness42]

After watching your video I'm excited and can't wait to get started on my rims tomorrow. I'm going to follow your exact steps.

[@MrProxl]

Love your work. Here is a tip that may help in the future. I let about 25% of the air out of the tire making the tire drop below the rim. You can push the tire down and its much easier taping the wheel/tire that way. The tape can get way under the rim. Paint the rim and simply re-inflate the tire. Keep up the great videos.

[@PHARRAWAY]

Yup that is a good tip I did let the air out completely forgot to mention that on the video oop's

[@iwerkalone]

Thank GOD a video without CRAP music playing in the background. THANK you for posting, great video, WAY better than the others here on YT.

[@PHARRAWAY]

anytime brother

[@camsac]

I like how you made sure that the tabs on the rim protector were all in the same place near the tire valve

[@tcreed1143]

Great job, I did the same to my rims looks way better then before n I saved a lot money also. 👍

[@PHARRAWAY]

Nice yes they do come out better

[@beyerch]

I bought a set of winter rims that are a bit gnarly looking and was considering some DIY painting to make them better. (I don't need show quality by any means....) Some questions from this video: - Any thoughts on using an electric turbine HVLP gun? Seems like this project is small enough that it should work? If not, what would you recommend for a non-professional on a budget? - For wheel prep, assume you are not going down to bare metal, just getting through factor clear / scuffing up paint a bit so that next adheres properly? - Are you using primer? - Any guidance on the brand / type of paint to use? Also, any thinning / modification? - For clearcoat, any specific recommendations due to exposure to elements / harsher cleaning chemicals rims get exposed to? - How much time are you typically leaving between coast of paint / clear / etc? - If someone has minor knicks / gouges in a rim any thoughts on how to fill that in? I believe there are some products for this purpose, though curious if any are better than others? Thanks!

[@PHARRAWAY]

Hi, brother, you can get a husky paint gun from home depot they work good and about the paint here is a site that is on budget and will do good shop.thecoatingstore.com/Metallic-Paint_c48.htm just get yourself a quart they sale them in qt. kits with clear and all the reducers you need

[@Mxyzptlk-kk2pg]

I'm new to this, what kind of paint and gloss did you use. Can you be specific in name and brand. What kind of paint gun are you using? Can you put that info in the description of all the materials used?

[@kevinshea4776]

Great job! Maybe look into a used tire machine to dismount the tire to cut back on the time it took to mask the tire from the paint target as the masking you showed looked brutal!

[@Vladesco911]

Great video and great work. I wish the guy that I will give him my wheels of my Jeep SRT 2019 to paint does exactly the same as you. Keep up the good work!

[@Vladesco911]

I just did not understand why you used different pressures for the paint and clear... Is there a particular reason for that?

[@PHARRAWAY]

@@Vladesco911 Yes the clear flows out better and smoother with higher pressure

[@BigG616sts]

Bro u make that look so easy, painting rims isn't as easy as it looks coz of all the tight curves and the wheel nut holes, so easy to get a run if ur not careful

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thanks 👍

Wow! I have a black on black 2011 lexus gs350 and I wanna paint the wheels myself to save the cash but I'm contemplating on getting them powder coated for about $280 or do it this way myself...decisions decisions 🤔

[@JustAGuy781]

The paint will be easier to touch up if it ever gets blemished whereas the powder coat is not so easy to just "touch up". I have all my own powder coating equipment and an oven, but painting them will yield identical results and the ease of repairing later is far better with painting them.

[@23MBeezy]

hi! hope u see this. i have new bmw rims in grey, i want to make them black. can i just use primer then after that black paint? no need to use sand paper because theyre smooth already? or should i use the sand paper to remove the grey paint? please reply asap. thanks in advancep

You need to sand it with at list 320 or 400 so that the paint will stay
