For those that can’t take off the wheel. DO NOT GET PAINT ON YOUR BRAKE DISC OR BRAKE BLOCK. what I’ve done, grab a bunch of trash bags, scrunch them up and place them between the wheel and brake disc. And instead of using the color cards he uses to separate the rim from tire, I use scotch tape, can even use an ID card to wedge the scotch tape in.
@CameronDC-Grimes2 жыл бұрын
I'd argue if they can't take off a wheel they shouldn't paint. It's very dangerous to get paint on rotors, calipers, slide pins, wheel hub bearings ect... Just jacking up the car from Δ points which is on frame after lower control arms and wheel wheels near center of vehicle. Put jack stands under axles taking care not to hit brake lines with jacks. Use a breaker bar or impact wrench to remove lug nuts and then wheel, put wheel under vehicle frame near Axle where skid plate is. When you put wheels back on only snug the lug nuts while it's lifted off ground, drop vehicle weight on tire then tighten lug nuts in a star pattern to torque spec with torque wrench! Usually between 80-100 Ft-Lbs

It’ll spray over your cars paint and unless you buy a cover for your car, it’s probably best not to try it.

Idk if anyone else noticed, but the final product had a little bit of a gritty finish. There are a couple ways to minimize that. Don't do one light coat then two heavy coats. Maybe try more for like five light coats. Also, once your last coat of paint dries, you can lightly sand with high grit sandpaper (800 to 1000) then wipe down. Then do a few light coats of clear.

Only things I would do different (and maybe overkill) would be after the scuff its best to use a wax/tar degreaser to make sure everything is off the wheels and then do a coat or 2 of primer before the paint.... Another good option to protect the tires is a deck of cards if you want want to rob the paint section at lowes lol.

You could save a step by using the scuff pad also known as scotch Brite pad while you're doing the washing. Also, if you're painting aluminum or alloys that don't have paint it's good to use an etching primer first to ensure paint sticks well or you could end up peeling or chipping in a short period of time.

I don't recommend painting over chrome. To do so properly, you'd really need to sand down the finish with multiple grits of sandpaper, and be aware that sanding chrome can be a bit dangerous, definitely need to wear a mask and long sleeves. If you just have a bit of rust coming through the chroming, try some phosphoric acid to clean them. It won't be perfect but will look a lot better....

I was thinking I could either mask off the inside of the tire - or if the inside gets painted, who cares, it's still shiny? :) As long as this doesn't damage anything in the inside of the wheels. Thanks again!

There is no real way to get a chrome finish except actual chroming. If you want to paint your rims and have a metal-looking finish, you could try Rust-Oleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish spray paint in Chrome. Prep well and apply light coats, but please don't use a clear coat or you may completely ruin the finish.

You can leave the tires on the car when painting, just mask off well so you don't get overspray on your car. Overspray goes farther than you think...

Hey mate can I apply this paint to my cbr's alloy wheel? it's not a metal alloy though, also does this peels off by kerosene ?
@pauldempster6407 ай бұрын
That wheel looks perfect . Question. If I'm changing the colour from standard silver to black do I still not need a primer. Thanks

FYI. Gumout Carb and Choke Cleaner works really well to clean the wheels from brake dust and oil, grease etc.

@@fish10381 I sanded and used black matte spray cans with primer in it 3 coats and 3 more of 2x clear and they came out better than what I anticipated I just saved myself a load of cash on black rims and I also blacked out the head lights,tail lights,side mirrors, gas cap, black wing and black grill now I am just waiting for my side skirts and now the fusion is looking dark blue and sexy sleek with black detail around the whole car.👍 thx for asking pal.

5:05 it say's you don't wanna get paint on your wheels 😅. But yeah I sprayed my alloys the other week using the card trick (without holes in).... it really saves time & mess.
