Powder Coating A Rusted Steel Wheel At Home DIY Restoration

I decided to rescue and restore and Powder Coat this rusty steel wheel from my Triumph Acclaim. It was in very poor condition. I powder coated it with my home made powder coating over build. You can find the DIY Powder Coating oven build videos at • My Home Made Powder Co...

This is my classic steel wheel fitted to a Triumph Acclaim. You can't buy these any more so I decided to restore the original wheels at home in my workshop. I had the tyre fitted at the local tyre fitting bay though.

[@bullshitstomper9417]

Next time put the whole rim in a container of vinegar for 48 hours with a fish tank bubbler and don’t kill your self with all the power tools that can’t get rid of all the rust when an acid bath will

[@CyberCurtainTwitcher]

There's just something very rewarding about bringing back an item to its former glory.

[@lutherchristinaparker4219]

I literally have NO idea why I just watched you restore an old rim..........for 12 minutes. Oddly enough, it took me another 12 minutes of self reflection to realize that it was quite satisfying for some reason. Kept popping in to my feed so finally I was like, "alright then, I will watch it already". I am glad I did. Thank you. Subbed!

[@RetroHax]

Thanks bud.

[@jsura1214]

Quarantine got me like😂

[@billycross1798]

I used to work in automobile detailing, and I'm OCD, and I approve of your restoration.

[@eddielozada3694]

This video was simply a joy to watch. Great video quality and timing. A lot of details and steps(metal brush, degrasing, sandblast, grinding, powder coat etc etc) definitely a shop job. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@TheBadJuJu666]

My great uncle used to take old wheels/ tires like this one and turn them into planters for the garden, but you made it roadworthy again. Amazing job!

[@scottgm321]

I must admit, I thought "A wheel?!, how dull can this be?" You showed me, that looks great! Great restore.

[@RetroHax]

Cheers bud

[@logcoatingservices]

It was interesting,,

[@badboik3]

"DIY home restorarion" *cracks out the sand blaster* *me with my 80 grit :))*

[@VeyronBD]

Just did some alloys with sand paper myself, took 3 days of straight sanding. Really makes me wish there was someone with a sandblaster nearby lol

[@isctony]

never mind the sand blaster, what about the powder coating and oven set up!

[@richardking6066]

@@VeyronBD A big plastic container, and some electrolytic de-rusting would also take three days - but be effortless, and probably do a better job!

[@VeyronBD]

@@richardking6066 lol yeah you might be right on that

[@midmonobody411]

Feel this in my soul 🤣

[@cg6522]

Finally the end of powder coating projects ... due to your new equipment. Your real skills now ...

[@RetroHax]

???

[@capatainnemo]

he powder coated it

[@skodakatie7341]

Wow, the transformation is amazing, it looks brand new, maybe even a better finish than brand new!!.

[@edmilsonoliveira4890]

HERE IN BRAZIL, THIS WHEEL ROOF 13 WAS ORIGINALLY IN FIAT UNO MILLE FIRE 1.0 AND OTHER FACTORY CARS. THESE WHEELS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND VERY RESISTANT. YOUR WORK IS DONE WITH DEDICATION AND LOVE AND THIS IS WORTH MY FOOT CLAP. (THREE POND / BRAZIL)

[@flunder203]

That was really impressive. Good job and well.presented

[@trainout2grass1]

Incredible Martin, what a beautiful transformation. Well done.

[@SCOTTISHPREPPERVARIETYCHANNEL]

This was a wheelie good restoration It now has its acclaim to fame First class martin

[@RetroHax]

Haha, nice one Chris

[@novembermiss]

Another excellent restoration of something that at first looked beyond saving, now perfect.

[@briansmeback8912]

Having your workshop next to a wild bird sanctuary is a nice touch. Nice finished product.

[@davesmith6734]

Top job on the wheel restore 👍

[@manuelmm]

Restoring the rim: 200£. Chinese Goodride Tire: 7£

[@johnblackburn7673]

Done a good job of them Martin. That cabinet you made has just paid for itself yet again

[@RetroHax]

Yes it has John.

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

Wow. And all this time I thought I needed a machine to take the wheel off the rim. All I ever needed was for Martin to show up. Martin, you are a brute, my friend. Amazing work.

[@RetroHax]

Haha, cheers bud.

[@davidclark3603]

Brilliant job that Martin. I'm very impressed!

[@airaction2257]

Can't wait to see the Acclaim fully restored,great job Martin : )

[@davidbrown6227]

What a difference Martin. The wheel looks amazing. As good as new 👍👍

[@cabdriveruk]

Great video Martin. Wow what a finish ! you will have to do the other 3 now lol. I was cringing watching you cut that old tyre off with that stanley knife it case it slipped off ! Great job as usual Martin looks great. Cheers, Jeff.

[@RetroHax]

It was easy to cut through Jeff, nice new blade.

[@alphablondy2005]

This guy always does a good job.

[@blacknight1003]

Another fabulous job Martin, as always. Keep em coming.

[@sidthescenic09]

wow. the triumph is going to look amazing with these wheels.

[@alansmith4734]

When you were cutting the tire open using a razor, I thought of the U.S. Border Patrol. The U.S. Border Patrol cut open tires that way, because they are full of drugs or money. Sadly, your tire was just full of political promises. =(

[@RetroHax]

Haha, nice one lol

[@16toni125]

😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏

[@SJHughes]

Martin that was wheely good restore but you must of had to tread carefully prepping ,thought i might get tyred watching but i was blown away on balance. Good one Martin

[@lesliedickinson198]

A lovely looking job youve done of it. Spot on.

[@lindalove7193]

I scared for you at first, but you pulled it off! Bravo!

[@richardrushton7460]

That's a triumph in its self Martin if you ever need to remove tyres In future a bit of 50x50 6mm angle and a sledge hammer are your friend along with 2 tyre levers keep up the good work love the content

[@davidyoung6608]

Great restoration video. I love the powder coating.

[@terryatkinson3182]

[@foxyridergaming9198]

wow..you got everything bro...thats impresive

[@tomaslopez9642]

Awesome restoration of the steel rim, like new again.

[@malcolmporter4771]

That was a lot of time and effort in that but the results was amazing! First I was like, a rusty rim? Really? But after that powder coat, I was like WOW! Awesome!

[@SKATETOSLAYER]

I have done this before on some rims that were in no where near as bad condition, the end result is definitely rewarding and worth it, but at the same time the amount of time and effort that goes into doing this almost seems less worthwhile than just going and spending the money on some brand new rims. Definitely a good way to save money.. just depends on how much you value your time.

[@thierrygillon6139]

Unbilievable, Great Work
