@pfitz9346 6 жыл бұрын

You can fix runs in base but you need to sand them down with a proper grit sandpaper. If you wet sand base coat it'll give it less of the ripply powder coat effect and more of a solid plated or mirror type finish. You can make plain base coat shine entirely on it's own with some proper wet sanding and patience, still clear coating is necessary to protect your wheels and will give it an even higher gloss finish.

Hey man, I did exactly what they did in this video. I sanded the original coating down to bare aluminum, primed and repainted them black with a can. The looked great for a season but with rough gritty streets they didn't last long. The initial results are great but don't expect a factory durable finish. Hope this helps. All the best.

It is very nice video .Even if you were to plastidip these wheels, you would still need to do all the prep work, use a filler primer, a base coat (plastidip) and then the plastidip glossifier.However, when you have the method in corbandy car sprayer crusher you'll find an easy system that will work whenever you like.

Like they said, prep work is everything - but so is the follow through... I've had Dupli-painted wheels for multiple years and they still look as good as they did when I first painted them. Before even riding them I let everything cure for 5 days before buffing/waxing them to add that final level of protection :) The one thing I'd highly recommend that's not mentioned in this video is using Etching Primer prior to Filler Primer, as well as Primer Sealer prior to Base Coats.

If you want to paint your wheels black, use duplicolor 1200 F high heat paint. That stuff is bullet proof. Painted my exhaust manifold heatshield and never peeled once. Also scrubbed the paint hard with various different styles of cloth when it got dirty and its still in 100% condition. Combine that with some plasti dip silver metalizer and it will looks stunning. Gives it a nice metallic shine, although not sure how well it will stick to the paint.
