How to Spray Paint Wheels Gloss Black

I go through the entire process of how to spray paint wheels gloss black I bought these wheels on Ebay for a steal for the Polo project and with a little bit of effort I will turn these wheels from a dull silver finish to a stealth glossy finish for much less than it would cost if you got the wheels refurbished by someone else I hope this video is helpful

*I FORGOT TO SHOW THE LAST COAT PUT ON THREE COATS OF CLEARCOAT FOR THE BEST RESULTS!!* 👌

[@jerryconcar4800]

How many can did you use in total for the Primer, Paint, and Gloss coz i could guess how much it would Cost Myself

[@The_journeyy]

I'm not sure exactly as its been a long time since I did this job if you've a look at the description I've got all the items and quantities used in that 😁

[@oliverredman]

Question though Iv got no issues spraying a set of rims but how to get them properly dry so they don't end up soft

[@The_journeyy]

You don't spray in very humid areas and you follow the instructions for allowing them to dry per coat as suggested by your cans instructions

[@ap3085]

Can you list the products used.

[@thom8577]

Beautiful job. Nice to see someone take the time to get the back of the wheels, too.

[@The_journeyy]

It takes a bit longer but the results are amazing, thanks for the nice words Thom hope your well

[@392hendo]

Man I’ve painted plenty of wheels and tried different techniques but after watching this video I definitely did the set I just painted the best. It was my first time sanding the primer and using 2k clear gloss and I can’t believe how good they came out! Thank you for the tips!

[@The_journeyy]

That is such a nice compliment bro I'm glad this video was of some use I remember when I painted my current wheels on my VW its crazy to think how long that's been and how wheels can make or break the look of a car 😀

[@sutton590]

I just did mine. And the paint scratched off. What do u think I did wrong?

[@The_journeyy]

1) Normal things that cause this are skipping the prep of sanding the wheel or 2) the most common using cheap 1k clearcoat which isn't as durable as the 2k bodyshops use and the one I used in this video proxl or 3) not putting three coats of clearcoat did you do any of those?

[@sutton590]

@THE_JOURNEY I did sand. I used 2k clear coat. I think I may have only did 2 coats. 😪🤦🏾‍♀️ How are ur rims holding up? I may have to get mine done professionally.

[@The_journeyy]

Sand well, 3 coats of primer, sand lightly with 800 grit to flatten the primer, 3 coats of paint and then 3 coats of 2k clear. My wheels are holding up well not sure how long it's been since I installed them 😊 the first time painting can be a bit hit and miss I had similar issues when I painted my first panel and used 1k clearcoat but now if I paint a panel even with cans you'll find it hard to guess whether it was a can or spray gun job it's all a practice thing and once you've done it once as long as you follow the steps and you use good products for example like proxl 2k you'll get amazing results the amount of people that have reached out or sent me pictures of their wheels it's fascinating

[@BB-gm4xs]

[@davidlundrigan1435]

Nice Job.....As for the comment regarding sanding before Clear coat, its a myth and is a wasted step. The best way to prevent Lacquer peel is to Clear coat within 30 minutes of of your last coat of colour, especially if your paint has laid well. The tacky paint will help the adhesion process and prevent peel.

[@The_journeyy]

Hi David thanks for the feedback, Agreed on the sanding before clear coat. I usually wait one hour before throwing on the clear do you think that's too long?

[@davidlundrigan1435]

@@The_journeyy Yes, you need to clear coat whist the colour is still tacky to touch. Personally I SET A 20 minute timer after laying the colour and then I clear coat.

[@The_journeyy]

I will keep that in mind thanks for the advice

Hi great job on the wheels. Im going to be doing my wheels soon on my corsa e, in black. Would be ok to put on 4 coats of black when spraying the wheels? Then once they are dry four coats of clear lacker so it will last longer.

[@The_journeyy]

Thanks for the feedback if your putting on your colour and it looks like you've not got great coverage then yeah you can put on another coat of black. if you use good products you shouldn't need to put on four coats of clearcoat. For bodyshop results use 2k clearcoat three coats of that and your wheels will be shining and durable 😄

[@ebz_official5790]

Quick question bro. You put 3 coat of aresol black spray in your video but mention 2 in the the description. Do u buy 3 or 2 . And is there a specific order you spray them in or do u just pick one can and start with that as the first coat

[@The_journeyy]

I used two cans of each bottle so 2 cans of the black paint, 2 cans of primer and so on When you paint the tyre you'll need to do 3 coats of primer first then 3 coats of black paint and then 3 coats of clear The order is primer, paint, and then clear coat hope that helps 😀

[@The_journeyy]

Hello Jason I'm glad it looks good and wow on the F20 that is a beautiful car and yeah it can be best way to not have that is to make sure you put 3x coats of clear on and use a good 2k clearcoat I realised after I released the video it only shows me doing 2x coats of clear but it's actually 3x coats for best results so I pinned a comment saying about that in the description hope that helps 😁

Started around 10 and finished around 6 the spraying of the coats is quick its the drying times that add up. If I had a nice warm garage and a heat gun I could have halfed the time hope that helps 😊

[@leepearson4833]

Can I ask do you have a list of the products that you bought to complete This? For example how many can you bought of each gloss primer and clear?

How long does primer have to dry

[@The_journeyy]

It depends on your environment and how hot or cold it is where your spraying. I spray mine outside with the the temperature around 17 to 20 degrees left it like 15-30 minutes to dry. If I was in a hot garage I could have left it for 5-10 minutes

It definitely is great and no worries thanks for reaching out 👏

[@morriszachrisson8359]

Such question. I don´t want to paint wheels. I want to paint a plastic figure black. If I just spray Mr Aerosol Gloss Black directly whithout any applying any white or grey primers, will I get the same black mirror effect?

[@The_journeyy]

You need to get paints suitable for plastic and yes the result can be reproduced if the job is done correctly

[@BB-gm4xs]

What's the point in the last process using the cutting compound? Finished my wheels and darent use the compound in case it removes the laqueer!

[@The_journeyy]

The point is it just makes it shine more but that's just me wanting silly gloss the wheels didn't even need that after I finished they were beautiful! I waisted 48 hours before just buffing them with the pad and 2k is very durable it won't come off but tbf its not really needed

There's nothing I love hearing more than when people tell me they got the same results I did thank you for reaching out 🔥

[@0zzy_0]

how many days do you have to wait to go to the carwash?

[@The_journeyy]

When you paint a car or your wheels you don't take the car to the car wash for two to three months the pressure ruins paint if its not fully cured and set which takes a while you just wash it normally by hand with soapy water and a typical sponge sort of thing 😁

[@bindrops8927]

Just come across this video and am looking to paint mine how many cans did you use for all 4 wheels and what paint did you use brand wise ?

I got factory wheels on my Cadillac and there just the alloy ones. Kinda dorky looking. I looked around online for some new ones but I didn't like any of them and there all really expensive when you add the new tires. I'd rather paint the stock ones and get the exact same look as if I were to buy new ones.

[@The_journeyy]

That's what I did on mine when I done these and it made me appreciate my car again hated the old wheels 😊

[@koreywilliams4570]

@@The_journeyy my front passenger side wheel has some damage from a few months back when some guy side swiped me on the highway. It's nothing serious just some black smudges. The main damage is a little ding on the wheel well just above the tire. Soon as I fix that and the couple hail dings on the hood it should be back to brand new 😁 this is the nicest vehicle I've ever owned my last one was a 96 s10. So im doing everything I can to take care of my Cadillac it's only a 2013 SRX but I absolutely love it.

[@The_journeyy]

Sounds like a new car to me I bet it looks great and I love the fact your as passionate about cars as I am 👏

[@koreywilliams4570]

@@The_journeyy aside from the couple dings and paint pen messups I still need to fix it does look amazing and it's fun to see all the heads turn as I ride through town 😁 also this could just be coincidence but when I wash my car I notice half the town is over at the car wash doing the same lol. Last time I did it the neighbor down the street started washing his. Love the town rivalry.

Nothing better than that joy and fun these things bring and your inspiring the masses to make their car shine 😁
