Great job! Little tip for you. Before spraying, put the cans in a bucket of warm water for a few mins. Helps thin the paint for a better spray.

You don’t have to sand the rims do I to paint em gloss black ?

[@mvinge]

@@memesyandhorrorshorts Gotta do it. Sanding helps the first layer of paint stick to the metal. It's a pretty important step for most painting jobs.

[@bradpointer6134]

If you have to sand down to bare aluminum for any repairs, make sure you use a good etching primer to make sure the paint will stick.

[@Greenboy_Max]

Justin, thanks for keeping things simple and easy. Like others said, this is a DIY job.. who cares about the inside of the wheel. Its not like you painted a totally different color! Keep it up man!

[@Engineerboy100]

If you stand the wheel up or put it on a crate or something, you can keep your can vertical for better dispensing of the paint out of the can.

[@CarAudioInc]

You seem like a chill dood

[@neiltansey3041]

Nice job Justin. May I be so bold as to recommend you cover the valve before spraying. With annoying little shaped objects like that, I would sometimes cover with Vaseline or similar that can be wiped off after.

It is covered with tape.

Wow I'm blown away by your fantastic results ! Hopefully I try & duplicate this on my 8 year old very shabby looking silver painted aluminum wheels.....

[@2028end]

So, when that pesky grimy break dust accumulates on that new painted rim in about one years time, how do you get it off without ruining the paint job? Can you spray that Sonax cleaner on that painted rim, or will that cleaner ruin the paint job?

[@justinbuice]

You can use sonax or any wheel cleaner on them

[@kristopherdetar4346]

You are a very good son. Your momma must be proud of you always. Very useful info for the DIY first timers. Gotta tape that valve stem though. Been painting wheels since the 70’s. Products are so much better these days for this type of job.

[@justinbuice]

I try!

[@geofherman2]

Great video and advice! Another way to minimize drips is to start a spray off the wheel and end the spray off the wheel. I think it is important how to minimize any chemicals going directly to the environment. Why did you not use an etching primer? Overall a very helpful video. Thanks for putting it together.

It looks really good! I've done the same method for painting some old wheels as well, but what I find annoying is that once you get rocks or other stuff hitting the paint it creates nasty scratches that almost "dents" the new paint. Is there any ways around this? Thanks

[@Jpbawlings]

I know I am 3 years late, but I personally use 2k clear coat and it makes the wheels pretty scratch resistant.

[@yngve6640]

Hi, nice video. Here is a spray paint tip: Do not paint your wheels laying down, the spray box work's much better in a vertical position, so stand up your wheels. That will make it more handy to reach hard to get places to.😊

Higher chance of drip

[@jacobroe9316]

Hey man primer?

[@justinbuice]

I used the primer that was already on the wheel rather than sanding down to bare aluminum and re-priming. The primer used in the manufacturing process is probably more durable than the spray primer you will find in a store anyway.

[@michaelxi5224]

Jacob Roe u only need primer if bare metal is exposed

[@kevinaddington706]

Use ing playing cards or something similar around the rim works well, it’s much easier then using tape on a round surface. After you use the cards then you can use tape to hold the bag on. A can of flat black paint is good for over spray. Preparation makes the results last for a long time.

[@raymondperez3553]

Great video Justin have you seen chris fix's video on alloy wheel restoration? question : did you primer the wheel after sanding?

I just refurbished four Infiniti 17" alloy wheels, using the methods outlined in this video. I am happy with the color and the overall look of the wheels but the finish is not smooth. It is somewhat gritty despite wet-sanding the wheels with 220, 320, 600, and finally 1,000 grit sandpaper. Did I spray the clear paint too lightly ? Would a thicker coat dry to a smoother finish ? If not, is there a way to polish the grit away ? And yes, I cleaned the wheels thoroughly between every coat of paint, colored or clear so the grit is not airborne debris. Any advice is appreciated.
