Amazing Wheel Restoration From Super Rusty To Mirror Chrome

Рет қаралды 196,815

Күн бұрын

I decided to try to restore a very old and super rusty car sprae wheel by giving it a chrome mirror new look.
At first, I tried to remove the rust mechanically, but I realized that it would not be possible to do without sandblasting. The sandblasted rim has been painted with 99% zinc cover to protect the rim from corrosion. I covered some of the gouges and pits with putty, followed by a sanding process and a coat of black paint.
I mixed chemicals to prepare chromium solutions according to special formulas. This was followed by Hydrochroming, a continuous process where a chemical reaction coated the rim with a film of chrome. This work was interesting for me, if you liked it, please share and press Like on this video.
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them in the comments.

There's never been, nor will there ever be, a stamped steel rim worth that much effort.

I would've thought chrome plating bath would've been the steps involved in this process. Never heard of hydrochroming before. Looks neat.
