Good video TT, never knew about wheel paint, will have to try it! Stay safe bro. 😷😷✌🏻️

[@TractorTech]

Thanks, you too!

[@makmak151515]

Chainsaw brush that he’s using works great. Ps if you use a piece of roof flashing you don’t need to take tire loose

[@TractorTech]

The problem with using flashing is the lip of the wheel won't get painted.

Waaaaay better !

[@TractorTech]

Thanks!

reseating the bead was just taking core out and pushing a bunch of air? any issues not seating?

[@natevanlandingham1945]

I saw some guys paint a rim and they put oily tire shine on the tire so overspray would come off. The just ran one layer of paint tape around the rim

[@TractorTech]

Tire shine would be a good second layer of protection.

My favorite song in the background starting at like 5:03 lol

[@TractorTech]

When I am in the garage I mostly listen to a station called rock bar on SirusXM. They play all different kinds of rock.

[@paulh3135]

How has it held up with use, heat and grease since you painted it?

[@TractorTech]

These wheels look okay still but they were pretty rough. It is like the primer has sucked the pain in, in places. I've had better results from wheels that were not as far gone.

[@SlackerU]

I'd have used rust dissolver & a pressure washer. Either way 2013, great value, GG.

[@TractorTech]

Are you talking about something like naval jelly?

[@SlackerU]

@@TractorTech Yes, & rust dissolver comes in liquid forms as well. I have no favorite brand but do feel more confident with the end results after using my time to refurbish rusty things. I used three applications & pressure washings for my BX mower deck this year . Your channel is one of the best, 10/10.

[@quedogkualum]

What color/brand spray paint did you use

[@TractorTech]

Rustoleum wheel paint, silver

[@pcrepairguys]

A $1 deck of playing cards overlapped on each other between the tire and rim. No need to break the bead.

[@TractorTech]

That will work but that leaves the lip unpainted.

[@jasonpatterson947]

Some dummy scuff my wheels inspecting the brakes. 🤣😂🤣 Keep in mind that these inspectors are paid by the state 😂🤣😂

[@TractorTech]

The state inspectors here are independent. They are approved by the state. They all whine that they don't make any money from doing inspections. Our worthless governor was going to do away with it, which would have been good. All the inspection station whined that they would loose money so they did not do away with the program.

[@j6sinner]

I have seen them use Petroleum jelly

[@TractorTech]

really?

I would of wire wheeled those bad boys esp the inside and let them ride. Maybe sand the worse areas on the outside after wire wheel

[@TractorTech]

The wire wheel leaves some deep scratches that are visible after painting.

[@natevanlandingham1945]

@@TractorTechI would use sand-able filler primer and then light sanded the first coat of primer if that a smooth finish look was desired.
