Painted my 13s wire wheel Rust-Oleum gold mirror

I painted my spokes gold due to rust on spokes and hub. The chrome was pealing off the hub and the spoke with rust wasn't coming off as well, I did used multiple wire wheel cleaners and coke cola none did the job besides, I bought these used 13s for a 100 bucks just to have a extra set of wheels. So I basically clean them up to get them ready for paint. These are used china's no Dayton's or zenith. Everyone's plate is different on the table so I did this for fun and a hobby. Enjoy and thanks for watching.

Nice jale homeboy !! This can help out lots of ppl in the Lowrider movement!! There’s many that can’t afford some high dollar ones !!! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@flipppy83]

I did the same thing back when I had mu bubble caprice but I used the metallic gold, passed for old school center golds unless you were closer then 5 feet away

This is a real good way to fix a rusty rim that can't be fixed. Good video homie

[@thomassaballa]

I just bought some used 18 inch spokes there pretty beat up but this gives me motivation to spray paint them

[@jrburger1987]

Yeah if they are beat up and rust it's best to paint them nothing else other than expensive to rechome them.

About 4 coats of 2k clear coat and you shining shining!!

Damn looks better than that Chinese gold plating straight from China. Also looks better than spending almost 2,000 dollars for China center golds now.

[@briank3799]

You're tripping if you think that fake paint looks better

[@Christopher-et7bc]

@@briank3799 No i'm not. The Chinese gold is junk. For the price I would rather have this or skip all the way over to USA 24 karat gold plating. Nobody that knows gold plating likes Chinese gold. I like a 5.00 can of this better than wasting my money on that.

Think it would work on the knock offs? Any suggestions on prep?

[@jrburger1987]

@mrhuero12 on knock offs I would use some soft grit sand paper scuff them up really good so the paint will stick real good and put at least several coat of paint just incase chipping.. But if u want to paint them I prefer powerder coating since it's much thicker.

I will give u this tip...paint those chips with a high gloss black..the glossier the better...let it cure really good..a single stage rustoleum works great...then u can get a can of spaztix paint on ebay for 9bucks...dust spray it over the black....whalaaa...try and and let me knw wht u think...u can also do it to any other metal with the same steps....the only con...dnt clear coat it...it will dull it...leave it as is

Can you Tell what did you use for the rims like the tools ?

[@jrburger1987]

All I did was prep the wheel like clean it really good. Dry it off then I used a air compresser to blow off the extra water that could be hinding then I wiped it down again. Then I masked it up and use rustoleum primer I use about 4 coat on that let it 5 minutes each coat then I use four coats of gold 5 minute apart and then unmask it so the paint won't stick to tape or peel off.

Curious did you try clearing them for better result. I got a ugly set i was gonna try this on. Looks good tho

[@esschuele6336]

I would recommend cleaning the rims with wheel acid first, then also make sure you get primer that is meant to stick to chrome. Otherwise it may flake off when cleaning. Another idea might be to use Plasti dip white first, then paint the gold over the dip paint. I tied painting my spokes years ago and it flaked off. I’ve been dipping my rims ever since. But that’s just my own experience. I can’t speak for others.

[@Marklee57]

@@esschuele6336 I've been thinking something similar for my wire spokes. They are Rusty but was thinking about blasting them with silica and self edge primering them. I've been hearing a lot about plastic dip is it practical to do in a garage and be able to reach in all the nooks and crannies? It would break my heart to see the rust spread again

[@mrshreve07]

How have they held up since you painted them?

[@jrburger1987]

Well to be honest I haven't even bolt them up yet, they been sitting in thr garage but they still look good. But if I did clean them it wouldn't be high pressure water other than Cleaning the lip... But I'm working on getting my regal back on the road I had to replace my head gasket.

I clean them up really good I didn't bother sanding them since the cleaner I used was already eating the chrome up.. So I just primed them and spray them.. I was thinking about putting some clear coat but didn't have any at the time.
