You paint 2nd & 3rd coats on while the paint is still wetish or tacky so the layers bond together. If they are aloud to dry in between coats, you creat 3 separate layers. That is not desirable. I would also finish with 3 coats of clear, but that's me. Nice job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I've seen hundreds of wheel painting tutorials on here, this was one of the best. The only part I would suggest is not painting the inside of the conical faces where the lug nuts sit (just like the rear hub he masked off). I usually just throw some old lug nuts in the wheels to prevent painting them but you can always just go over them with acetone, etc.

What about the existing dust and contaminates in the workshop/garage? Should I setup a "spray booth" with plastic from ceiling to floor, since the heater will probably be on for ambient temperature?

So i have crappy looking aluminum wheels on my truck with a rusted chrome center cap...took off the center caps to attempt the metal rescue soak to remove the rust so i can spray them black. Im definitely not a wheel cleaner type but i dont like them ugly. the rims are the gray aluminum color and i want them black. i dont care about gloss i just want a black. should i use a paint stripper to remove the nasty clear coat on the aluminum rims? then do all the sanding and etching primer + primer and then the black? ive been trying to watch a lot of videos to figure out exactly how to do it. just need a few pointers and would like for your input if possible...Thank you

dont want a gloss...more of a matte black color of rim.
@VillainGarageWorks6 жыл бұрын
This is a good one. I need to get my hands on a crap set of aluminum wheels to show what I am going to tell you. Which is, basically you are completely correct. Use whatever method you want (sanding, media blasting, aircraft stripper) to get all the clear off the aluminum, use a etching primer and then paint. Unless you have issues (which you shouldn't ever) there is no need to primer over the etch primer. The etch primer is used in place of say a epoxy primer is just to help the primer body to the bare aluminum better. No need for both. As for a matte finish, man, save yourself the trouble and just add a few coats of matter paint. No need to use a matte clear over the top, as long as it's good quality paint, the finish should be perfect right out of the can.

Hello bud , first off great video. My question is I have a set of mate black wheels that weren't taken care of very well by previous owner. Basically same black color wheels you have on this video . I want paint them gloss black, but I noticed you didn't use primer? Was it cuz they are matte black? Would I have to use primer on mine after scuffing them down with the red scotch bright? My plan was to scuff, prime, paint, clear. Is this the steps i should go with. I'm also planning on meaning towards engine paint. Is this right? Thanks in advance!
@VillainGarageWorks5 жыл бұрын
I didn't prime because the existing finish was flawless and brand new. If any of the raw metal is showing I would etch prime before paint then if you want gloss beyond the gloss black engine paint, you would have to clear after yes.

Wish I had seen this 2 weeks ago. Started painting old Focus wheels in the driveway on a hot day. Prepped the wheels with scotchbrite as directed and proceeded with 2 coats of paint, then 2 of clear and the surface turned out a little rough and a bit dull. Can I scuff up what I have and add a wet coat of clear to bring some shine to them or should I start over?
@johncrankshaft2886 Жыл бұрын
The rough dull is because it didnt lay down wet but rather in a mist, an old tip is to put the can in a bucket of warm water to help atomize. Also if you happen to be buying the can the same day you can ask your store paint section if they can put it in the shaker, some stores will and some dont.

To be very honest, I have only had a single experience with the Duplicolor Wheel Paint...and it wasn't a good one. The wheels were prepped better then the ones in this video (media blasted and everything). I used the suggested primer, their wheel paint and clear. Needless to say every single rock (on my dirt road) that touched the wheels caused the paint to flake away from the primer, or the clear would flake away from the paint. It was a disaster. This is actually when I switched to engine paint (or auto paint sprayed out of a gun) and haven't looked back since.

1) It's not that I am not a fan of primer, there is just no need for it in this application, using the paint I am using etc. So it's a waste of time and materials. 2) Wait until the paint is dry, that depends on brand, humidity, ambient and temperature. 3) Engine Enamel is stupid strong and bonds perfectly, I did paint a set of blue wheels with Rust-oleum and it worked just fine.
