Question..i dont know if i missed it in the video but do you sand all the clear coat off or just get it smooth?
@SavageGTI
5 жыл бұрын
Pause at 2:10 I took all the clear coat off. In my specific case I left the inside gunmetal paint and clear alone and didn't touch that. In some areas I went down to bare metal to smooth out some parts of the wheel that were damaged. You must use self etching primer on bare metal otherwise the paint will flake off.

Does it hv to be dupli color wheel coating paint? Can i use any other paint for the wheels? Like HT paint?
@SavageGTI

I would stay away from household paints they were not ment to bond to metal or withstand the elements. The dupli color wheel paint is the cheapest and most effective option. You could go crazy and do actual car paint too.

I dont always have time to shoot a video with a full time job and side gig. But I can say after 4 years it's not too bad. The edges of the rim get beat up with tire changes so the paint has chipped off on the edge. The face still looks good. I need to respray 1 wheel's face. Brake dust washes off with pressure washer.

Man what you had to do is to mask of the black inner parts of the wheel and then apply paint stripper to the wheel. This will remove the ugly clear coat . Then rise off the wheel. The result is a shiny aluminum surface. You will need to buff it once in a while to keep it shinning.

Good results are all about the prep, bare metal usually always needs to be primed and the paint will stick better. If you don't care I think it would still work but results might not be good

The paint chipped arround the bead when I had new tires mounted, and be careful with your socket when putting the wheel on. You can always touch up the paint by spraying into the cap and brushing over the blemishes. Sill look brand new. Brake dust builds up to a light gray, washes right off with pressure washer or hose and microfiber. Either way it looks way better than the chipping silver finish I bought the car with and way cheaper than powder coating.
