How to paint your wheels

[@MrCaferacenz]

Long time MCMs fan. Wanted a quick wheel painting tutorial and knew even historic footage such as this would be trustworthy :)

[@tukamadafuka]

Yeeep 🤣 I watch their 10-14 year vids heaps

[@nathancole3065]

This is the stuff that got me into cars.

[@customspraymods]

Painting stuff is cool.

[@Bikes_N_Adventure]

+customspraymods That cameo appearance!

[@snitz157]

+ED S lol

[@tommyvu5082]

+customspraymods oh my god, i just realised hahaha! maaad!

[@ACDC1998Zippo]

+customspraymods but when you fail it is a freaking nightmare

[@kyle-de-man]

+customspraymods holy fuck lol ive been starting to watch your videos as ive started painting more

[@zombiekillingskater]

"Cause that costs money, and someone else does it, and that's not DIY." Finally someone who understands me! Great editing, perfect background music, great end product, great video! Keep up the good work!

did you mean: "birth-present"?

[@Tony-112]

I love his energy 😂

[@MIRACLECHEEZ]

"You can't put gold rims on a subaru" Ignores every single blue Impreza with gold wheels that have ever existed lel

[@finnodell8336]

I'd go as far as to say that a subaru is the only car gold rims can go on

[@morphshag]

I'll be honest i miss these simple old videos. Your high production quality of your new stuff is outstanding, but this is where it all began, this is what started my love affair with MCM. moog, you are so sarcastic in your earlier stuff, bring some of that back.

[@Tony-112]

2019? Anyone go through their old videos

[@ElZamo92]

Yeah, it's surprising that they don't put tyre so small on their wheels that they look like they're about to explode in every one of their cars.

[@MrVthang]

I do, I just realized that's the guy from custom spray mod.

[@camilomino6614]

🙋‍♂️

[@Tony-112]

Yeah good ol days aha👍👍

[@EpicSqu1rrel]

yeah me too

[@33maraba]

you guys should do Top Gear Australia

[@yoshibombz2]

Yes!

[@smallenginedude71]

hell yes!!

[@Aluzcz]

No they are great as they are, everybody thinks that copying the original topgear with some great local figures will make it good but this is not true, MCM is MCM and TG is TG, having local TGs for US and AU is complete BS. Apparently this is better then TG.

[@DataC0llect0r]

33maraba but then we won't have MCM anymore :(

[@cosmokramer732]

OMG yesssss

[@matthewtimber4780]

Subaru wheels shouldn't be gold? Subaru wheels are supposed to be gold.... That's why they come gold

[@doodlebob-t1t]

but they look stupid unless on a dark black car

[@zbadgergamesz]

Yous Uck Subaru

[@TheSarcasticEngineer]

Could you Google the definition of sarcasm for me?

[@ghillemh]

Instead of using masking tape to stop spraying the tires, try putting playing cards around the entire way between the tire and wheel, much quicker and works fantastically :)

[@IcyThaneProductions]

Or index cards

[@chevelle68man2007]

Yup, I've done the card trick myself, works awesome!

[@GoofyDaGoofGoofTV]

IcyThaneProductions or speeding tickets! LOL

[@rehmancam]

GoofyDaGoofGoofTV - -That would work....provided one gets caughts for speeding... haha.

[@peterleid5060]

Cool trick???.... not magic though is it mate...

[@BlueXonar]

I find it easier to partially submerge my cans in a bucket of warm water. :) You can leave them like it while doing the prep.

[@moorestownairsoft]

hey its the guy from custom spray mods

[@OneSquidOneBike]

If you deflate the tire, itll make it easier to get the painters tape and newspaper down there so you can guarantee no paint will get on the tire. Then just reflate the tire once you put the masking around it. It's your choice though. Not mandatory.

[@Courier103]

I just noticed at 4:56 he is waving at his shadow XD

[@lathirak]

I liked the gold, only Subos can pull it off imo

[@mrd8810]

Hey man, I did exactly what they did in this video. I sanded the original coating down to bare aluminum, primed and repainted them black with a can. The looked great for a season but with rough gritty streets they didn't last long. The initial results are great but don't expect a factory durable finish. Hope this helps. All the best.

[@crasaqmohamed7741]

[@rwelsher1911]

Swear to god the guy he bought the paint from is from the customspraymods channel

[@rad171500]

Where has this channel been all my life?! Really enjoying the Marty Car Moogs show. Keep it up!

[@30769s]

Gold rims. EPIC on a Subaru WRX, not that Subaru. Stick with black

[@30769s]

STI WRX

[@killgoth2445]

mr .boggle Yep, running the same rims on my V7 STi looks mad

[@Dialogue_SC]

+Moon Soon stick with black? or stick with BLAAAAACK? there's a big difference between the two.

[@davidge973]

and on a is200

[@Leviathan431]

I have a black is300, and I reckon it could pull it off, but I think I'd rather have black on black personally :P

[@Spotflare98]

Guys, just to make it clear, the paint does NOT need to be sanded back completely as the basecoat will hit the original paint. You just need to sand it with some 240 grit to make a surface that is smooth, but rough enough for the paint to be able to sink in and stay on. Hope this helps :)

[@kohendo447]

love coming back watching these 10 year old videos

[@SirJewbacca]

I don't know I think that a blue subaru with gold rims can look awesome

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

IDK maybe lmao

[@TheNerdJD]

Like they said, prep work is everything - but so is the follow through... I've had Dupli-painted wheels for multiple years and they still look as good as they did when I first painted them. Before even riding them I let everything cure for 5 days before buffing/waxing them to add that final level of protection :) The one thing I'd highly recommend that's not mentioned in this video is using Etching Primer prior to Filler Primer, as well as Primer Sealer prior to Base Coats.

[@carlosalbertoalvarado6247]

that Silvia in the back😍😍😍😍😍

[@alwayzblessed25]

They break everything down in a simplistic way. I love it

[@customspraymods]

Good looking bloke

[@Manojid]

Adding a racing kit on that car will look much even better with those wheels, but great job guys. I learnt so much from you both.

[@ron7926]

red calipers frack thats at least an extra 40hp not to mention getting the ladies wet!!

[@justinc9911]

can i sandblast calisper and just spray can it?? for quick way?

[@consideryouryeehawed2269]

LungHotBox 420 I think you can but it will kind of fade over time and won’t have as good a result as doing it properly but it should work

[@BenjaminRiel]

Took after this video and did my rims the same colour, looks fantastic on my jetta. Much better than the curb rash and scratches the stock rims had!

[@Bigice99]

Didnt look that crap to me.

[@crisrose9707]

you're wrong. if moog said they are bad then they are bad. moog is love moog is life 2015.

[@yanimaya]

dude your car just reminds me that my first car from my dad, it is a 91 legacy sedan, just so much fun back in the old day with that car. nice job and nice car.

[@tylerjamesnewton1422]

So how many HP does the red caliper paint add? And is it necessary to get the full HP from the wheel paint?

[@shrekwazowski7888]

300 HP and the black rims added 500 more HORSEPOWER!!!!!!

[@CaptainCocaine]

+Tyler James Newton 25 kW is equal to 33.5 HP

[@tylerjamesnewton1422]

Sadpants McGee No offense, but was that the question?

[@CaptainCocaine]

Tyler James Newton Yes. You asked how many HP you get from painting your calipers red. 25 kW converts to 33.5 HP.

[@tylerjamesnewton1422]

Sadpants McGee I don't speak Russian.

[@neilmagtoto1562]

I already know how to paint wheels. I just watch this to watch MCM when there isn't a new episode. Lol

[@longerplankk]

Ok

[@AngryTurds]

Black wheels? When you want to be original, just like everyone else.

[@pfitz9346]

You can fix runs in base but you need to sand them down with a proper grit sandpaper. If you wet sand base coat it'll give it less of the ripply powder coat effect and more of a solid plated or mirror type finish. You can make plain base coat shine entirely on it's own with some proper wet sanding and patience, still clear coating is necessary to protect your wheels and will give it an even higher gloss finish.

[@modifiedgarage1006]

That's the exact car my great grandma owned and she's in her 80s

[@excidium1991]

so what? not everyone can or wants to buy mustang or a vette^^

[@jackquinn96]

pretty sure this is the same car he did the quarter mile in 11.9 seconds, can guarantee your grandmas can't do that! haha

[@modifiedgarage1006]

Haha yea

[@isurugodage5269]

Dude your grandma had an RS Liberty Turbo? Sick

[@modifiedgarage1006]

I know bought it brand new of the show room floor in 93'. It got totaled and had about 100k on the clock. Which was really good and no rust!

[@samrad9285]

9 years after seeing this episode, finally got myself some Subaru gc8 rims to paint!

[@minipepsiboy]

I want to actually paint the tires. Not the rims. Is there a way for me to paint the tires purple? I was looking for purple tires online, but they don't exist.

Good thing you're trollin, cause that's just flat out stupid. Thank god for WOT!

closest i could find www.alibaba.com/product-detail/all-sized-color-car-tyre-green_722065122.html

[@poisonousvenom7790]

just spray the tires every morning and night :)

[@asensniper]

3M sells wet-or-dry 600 and 800grit sandpaper (just put my rims on filler-primer 5 minutes ago, not gonna wet-sand, just dry) just keep in mind that what you want is a uniform finish, so no need to go berzerk on your rims with the sandpaper! 2 coats of filler-primer, sand with 600, 2 coats of paint, then clear (0-2 coats) depending on whether you want matte of glossy finish! Good luck

[@tmxseven]

Why not listing the stuff needed in description?

[@pleasetakeasip4556]

Because that makes too much sense duh

[@CaptainCocaine]

+tmxseven Wheels, sandpaper, paint, clearcoat, time, and patience.

[@kriegmeister1]

I have a Subaru Impreza RS. I could have painted wheels Gold, but did Black instead. Great Vid, was a lot of help.

[@reddynos484]

is it just me, or is the guy at 2:38 another youtuber that does painting videos ?

[@Snicklefritterz]

You guys have come a long way. Love it.

[@joelmarston7143]

Who’s watching in 2019?

[@bbehzadi413]

Was looking up how to paint rims and this gem popped up I forgot about this Subie build!

[@kiros13]

Love the video, but I'll be sticking with Plasti Dip

[@noblemav]

Thanks guys, that's the best video I have seen about painting my wheels.

[@patryk6598]

Marty you should do a vid on using Plasti Dip

[@BrettsGarage]

Wow, difference is night and day. Looks great.

[@codyamann12345]

Marty looks like Ted Cruz

Oh shit...

[@FukeU1248-q9m]

Is Ted Cruz a junkie :O

Don't insult Marty like that. He didn't do anything to deserve it.

[@meademorgan6614]

The only thing you neglected to mention or use.Were strainers for the pint used in the touch up gun.You need to strain the paint,because anything in it will show up in the paint job plus it can clog the tip.Most places will give them to you free when you buy your paint.Other than that,excellent video.

[@MrOddbodd123]

Ok, thanks

[@nickrulez809765]

Joshua Whiteley no problem

[@lynel1985]

yes, but like most metals you need an etch primer first. Its usually slightly more acidic and actually roughens the surface up a little bit when applied to help it stick. I know that die-cast model cars are etched primed with nitric acid (or can be) just dont use something caustic on aluminium... explosive caustic gasses are released

[@QurttoRco]

they should have went for other colour that grey looks rather shit

[@QurttoRco]

[@BNR_248]

If you want to paint your wheels black, use duplicolor 1200 F high heat paint. That stuff is bullet proof. Painted my exhaust manifold heatshield and never peeled once. Also scrubbed the paint hard with various different styles of cloth when it got dirty and its still in 100% condition. Combine that with some plasti dip silver metalizer and it will looks stunning. Gives it a nice metallic shine, although not sure how well it will stick to the paint.

[@MrGarycharters]

I remember watching this the day it came out. Now it has 1.5 million views. Maaad!

[@TheTokuin]

hey guys, just a little trick I used to paint my rims, try coating the side walls of your tires with petroleum jelly, you still need to mask the tire around the rim but this way there is no chance of paint bleed, once you are done and your rims are nice and dry, you can then use some soap and water to get the jelly off.

[@GhostFleetServices]

Quick Tip; Instead of masking the tires, get some index cards and stick them between the rim and the tire and do this all the way around the tire. It will be high enough so you don't have to cover the entire tire with newspaper and will still allow for you to paint the rim.

[@sydneysmith8312]

I HAVE A TIP TO SHARE!!!! I've painted my tailgate (yes I drive a dodge ram) using methods and ideas from this video. In the video they say that you can be heavy with filler primer. Just to clarify you HAVE TO treat it like a paint NOT bog/body filler. The filler primer dries within ten minutes as normal spray paint does, but that doesn't mean you can throw it on heavy to the point where u get runs. You should throw on many many many layers and sand it back with 400-800-1200 grit sand paper, but do it layer by layer, don't try to lay down more than 1mm at a time; otherwise you get paint bubbles and it won't dry properly when you go to sand it back, creating more problems! Thanks MCM don't stop doing what your doing!!!

[@Audiojack_]

An easy tip for covering the tires is using a deck of cards. They're easy to arrange around the rim edge and will cover the tire well enough (unless you can't aim your spray :P)

[@TheStigHCE09]

I've only just started watching these but propes for the Legacy RS Turbo and the good ol' Scooby wheels. Loving it

[@yaham911]

Best video available, especially the ideas how to repair car paint scratch. Another resource I also found helpful for spray paint car rims was moorack car spray miracle - it should be on Google if you need it

[@jameskelsey3759]

Sweet video guys. Wish I had seen it before I tried painting my wheels last time. Perhaps I wouldn't have failed so badly! At first I said, "what's wrong with gold rims? And they're going to paint match?!" But that paint match looks awesome. Never thought I'd like that. I think I'll skip the match though on my blue Subaru! Aaand off to watch more MCM videos!

[@justincarter1950]

I paint wheels all day, 5 days a week, Mag-it wheels on goldcoast, mate for a garage job you done better than most, at least u put primer on them and sanded good shit👍

[@TheR3AP3R93]

I like how that S15 is just chilling in the background! lol

@2:15. It's Dave from custom spray mods!

[@MiiSteR__]

I think it is time for a new set of these types of videos from the boys

[@verafly6]

the base coat is the actual color itself, the primer color doesnt matter unless ur primer is black and ur base is yellow or white or something light like that :)

[@AbyssalPaintballing]

I'm not an import fan but a car that makes me googly eyes everytime is a blue wrx sti with gold rims :D

[@The911SONIC]

thanks its kinda good to know that i dont need to by different or more paint too. hopefully i can do this soon enough before summer comes around

[@choccybiscuit123]

Not just the wheel stem, there is various amounts of rubber across the tyre. One side may weigh more than the other etc.

[@sankarhalder]

It is very nice video .Even if you were to plastidip these wheels, you would still need to do all the prep work, use a filler primer, a base coat (plastidip) and then the plastidip glossifier.However, when you have the method in corbandy car sprayer crusher you'll find an easy system that will work whenever you like.

[@ItBlabz]

Gotta love the old MCM black on black yarns portion of the video

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

I was wondering when you were going to mention putting the weights inside the rims. thats just something i'd never go without.

[@DevonAutomobilesLtd]

By the way guys, Moog said about leaving the wheels over night before lacquer. Dont do this!! You need to spray the lacquer within 4 hours of the base coat or you will get lacquer peel very quickly after spraying. Let the base go dry for about an hour then go for the lacquer.

[@MrWookie]

I keep telling my stepdad to get buy an old Toyota (with a 2JZ) from auction and put the engine in my mom's car while she's gone. The only place I'm gonna find something like that is Japan. What I really mean't was that you, sir, are very correct.

[@coltondrifts]

Yeah I understand that now. This was the first video I ever saw of these guys and they are awesome and funny. Thanks though.

[@thirteeen1]

Something between 800 and 1200. If you sand it wet it´s going to be maaaaaad and rake´s gonna love it :D

[@AutOdometer]

Smashing Job!! Need to do this on my 4Runner

[@911engineguy]

Jan 2020.. this video popped up. Oh wow! what a treat :)

[@dt0818]

Do you mean wheel weights? You need them because no wheel is completely round. So to reduce road vibrations due to non-circular wheels, the weights will help to balance out that weight. Every wheel will need to be balanced...

[@DaytonCarCare]

If you do get a run in your paint (while it's still wet) use a small artist's paint brush to smooth it out. It works ;)

[@SleepingJake]

To offset the weight from the valve stem. Here's an exaggerated example, Spin your key ring around your finger, that would be what your wheels would be doing at highway speeds without wheel weights.

[@ElZamo92]

Ah the days when you guys bought appropriately sized tyres for your wheels fills me with nostalgia...

[@LovensPresume]

I'll practice on my OEM 14" wheels for my civic. Thanks guys!! Subscribed.

[@MrRoberacer]

K, I like the Subaru gold rim thing and I am looking for gold rims for my Soob. They did need to be painted though. I'll give you that. You could have accented the same gold in other places on the car to make it "Pop". Would have been really cool. Course, it won't help you not blend in so well anymore. LOL. Love the show guys...

[@FlipzMedia]

I like how Dave from custom spray mods made a quick appearance.

[@CatspitProductions]

Awesome Moog, you’re the first person I have heard in a long time use the term “mad” as an adjective for wild, or wicked cool. I say that like that all the time. Come get some Catspit~! ☠

[@skyeyks199]

gotta love moog's enthusiasm

[@OGhoulihan]

@DJCarv8 you want to put on atleast 3 because you want to slowly build up the layers so you do not get runs in the paint
