Blasted mine with my buddy's setup then asked a local body shop the next time they were painting a silver car.

Came out spectacular.

Great video. Just a tip...instead of messing around with paper and masking tape, simply use dish washer detergent. A cheap shampoo will do it too (lol). Smear it on the sides of the tire and let a thin stream of it run down into the groove between tire and rim. Spray paint and let it dry...fully dried it's just a matter of washing the stuff off the tire (which is easy..)..!

A thousand thank you's for the tutorial. Made it simple to understand how to approach and do the job right away. I maybe have one tip for you guys- I use a spray can of cheap oven cleaner, no fume, from Walmart and let it soak on the wheel awhile while I clean the exhaust tips with the product. Keeps the carbon from becoming ugly. So I tried a light spray on the brake dust that had accumulated over time. I was surprised how well it worked for this old retired disabled Vet. Go Dolphins.

Can I clean, sand down imperfections, remove clear coat with stripper, sand up to 2000 grits, polish with metal aluminum polish then spray clear coat at the end without using primer or paint? Would that hold its nice OEM aluminum wheel looks? Or will the surface be to smooth for the clear coat to adhere strongly to it? If so should I scuff it over with a scotch brite grey sponge (600-800grit) so it has a stronger surface to adhere too, but in doing that would it not ruin the purpose of the 2000 grit sanding and polishing? Or do you think primer, color paint, and then clear coat is the way to go? Thanks for any pro answer.

Great vid. I would like to try this. I have a 15 gal compressor but would like to know what type of bead blast gun and media you use? I see the Black Diamond media but is there a specific size? How much would I use to do 4 wheels? Thanks!

Here are 2 very good tips to add to your masterpiece video. 1. For masking off a tyre, place a 1/4 bedsheets over a deflated wheel and tuck it between the tyre wall and the wheel's inner rim. Cut hole over tyre valve , inflate to hold sheet tight and cut out centre. 2. Devise a rotating Wheel centre support, (a child's bicycle wheel ?), place wheel waist high on table and rotate as you apply paint to the wheel. Always keep the main lighting shining down from over your shoulder and from spray hand side. Simples. Also, that mat Aluminium grey might look mighty nice with just clear coat and adorning my silver Lexus LS400 ! I think that I will do that ! . .

Thanks Steve ... your comments mean alot here to us trying to help the diyer's . When you can spray with spray guns then pick up a rattle can it some how makes you better spraying with a can, if you know what I mean...we love going back to some of our old roots to do these videos...thanks again for being here and humble...hard for a seasoned mechanic and pro to be that way you proved it can be done :)

I was just going to suggest that you use baking soda as it is environmentally friendly not to mention cheap.

I used a cheap HF gravity feed blaster and put baking soda in it. It worked really well on paint but it wouldn't touch rust. Many rims a powdercoated. I don't think baking soda would work on powdercoat.

I got a situation. I bought a car that had shattered front windshield(deer went thru) previous owner had put on some plastic film on the car from wipers to middle of roof pretty sure its something like one of those "stick n protect" plastic films that dealers cars usually have on carpet when they get them detailed. Anyway, that film is bonded to my cars paint like a clear bra. I have tried goo gone, goof off with plastic razor blades. No success blades r bit thicker to get under the film. My last hope is turtle wax sticker n film remover (stuff is like 8 bucks a can) and heat gun. Its so tuff that i used metal razors on moonroof glass n i did half of it n thought to myself there should be a better way. Do you have any other way that might work? What are my options.

@SweetProjectCars 6 жыл бұрын

5Riverz so you say you have tried heat gun?or you have not tried that?

@5riverz456 6 жыл бұрын

Sweet Project Cars no i havent tried that because the plastic is all cracked like spiderweb. So i thought of soakin it with these products and try to scrape it.

@5riverz456 6 жыл бұрын

I jus noticed that my neighbor has the same stuff on his jeep's hatch where its got rust/body damage. I was able to read it cuz his jeep is gray mine is black i couldnt read what it says on mine. It is that flooring stuff that some detailers use. Wanna punch the dude in the face who thought it would be a good idea to use it on my car to seal it. Could have just used shower liner or some sort of plastic drop cloth.

You can also take a deck of playing cards and wedge them between the wheel and the rim all the way around to protect the tires from the spray cans
