Painted four wheels after watching your video - followed it to the letter. That was two years ago. They still look GREAT!!! Going to do more now - watching your video again so I get it done right!!
Y people don't like when other people do good in something or in life this guy did a great job in how to make ur rims fresh n how to do it yourself hes not selling u anything or say you obligated to do it n like always got the heaters talking 💩 if you do it better do a video to help others to be a master like you.
WELL SAID....HE DID A GREAT JOB, NOW I KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO DO MY WHEELS, AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SONEX NOR THE RIGHT WHEEL GLOSS, NOW I KNOW THANK YOU.... JUSTIN...!
Thanks for a thorough video on how to re-do stock aluminum wheels on the cheap. I just paid $1300 CAD to have my 1995 LS400 wheels re-done but at least I can do my spare tire wheel myself because of your video. Now I know how.
Justin, thanks for keeping things simple and easy. Like others said, this is a DIY job.. who cares about the inside of the wheel. Its not like you painted a totally different color! Keep it up man!
Great vid! The ONLY thing I would do differently is put the wheel on a couple of saw horses or some sort of a table to elevate it to waist high to make it more comfortable to work on.
Nice job Justin. May I be so bold as to recommend you cover the valve before spraying. With annoying little shaped objects like that, I would sometimes cover with Vaseline or similar that can be wiped off after.
Hey Justin, you are so spot on - prep work is the foundation and will reflect in the finished product no matter what you do. Nice job, thanks for sharing.
Justin, Great job. I have hated my rims for years. My car was a drug dealers car who ran it through everything from the looks of those rims. It was a police auction car and your video was proof that I really can do something with those rims. Thanks very much for the help
This has really helped me I seen a lot of people going on about etch primer and it get really confusing but on my wheels I’m not planning on going back to bare metal at all so thank you so much for this video and they still look great 2 years later as I have seen on your other video definitely a new subscriber
You are a very good son. Your momma must be proud of you always. Very useful info for the DIY first timers. Gotta tape that valve stem though. Been painting wheels since the 70’s. Products are so much better these days for this type of job.
Great works and beautiful awesome result.... i do like that. Honestly speaking and thinking of going into that now because in my country our population is like 200 million people and you could only imagine how many are mobile out of all these people and what great job will be on ground for the jobless youths. i embrace this wonderful idea or innovation. Am tolu from Nigeria , in West Africa.
Wow I'm blown away by your fantastic results ! Hopefully I try & duplicate this on my 8 year old very shabby looking silver painted aluminum wheels.....
Hi, nice video. Here is a spray paint tip: Do not paint your wheels laying down, the spray box work's much better in a vertical position, so stand up your wheels. That will make it more handy to reach hard to get places to.😊
GREAT JOB! 👍🏻 What I don't understand is, HOW can anyone be giving a negative comment about this video? Justin is great on camera, very thorough in his explanation and the final results were awesome. You critics need to get a life!
Great video and advice! Another way to minimize drips is to start a spray off the wheel and end the spray off the wheel. I think it is important how to minimize any chemicals going directly to the environment. Why did you not use an etching primer? Overall a very helpful video. Thanks for putting it together.
Great job! And I'm not just talking about the outcome, I'm talking about from start to finish. 👍 Too bad the Michigan salt will probably chew them up like the back of that Grand Caravan. 🥴
huge tip i learned spray painting, never aim the beginning of the spray or end of the spray on what your painting.. start on the side and end on the side. or youll get drips or splatter or uneven paint
Man i love that u can understand everything from this guy. I already change my side indicaters on my beemer and change the back taillight. Now i wanna try to change my ignition button and repaint the wheels in my spare time. Nice man keep posting easy things for us noobs 😂👍🏼
Nice .!.!.!.! lol... I would have been happy as hell the why they looked just with the cleaning...!!! Great Job,,, Thanks for posting.... My wife’s rims needs this Bad.... I guess, I know what I’m doing next weekend... lol 👍👍👍
At first I was like wow that is a bad paint job. Then I was surprised at the end on how awesome it turned out. And for that I apologize for jumping the gun and insulting that paint job. Congrats man looks amazing.
It looks really good! I've done the same method for painting some old wheels as well, but what I find annoying is that once you get rocks or other stuff hitting the paint it creates nasty scratches that almost "dents" the new paint. Is there any ways around this? Thanks
Watched your video once, subscribed straight away, and totally NOT regretting it. Great job, brilliantly shot, and straight to the point. Fare play mate 👍🙏👌💯
I used the primer that was already on the wheel rather than sanding down to bare aluminum and re-priming. The primer used in the manufacturing process is probably more durable than the spray primer you will find in a store anyway.
wheel looks awesome, great job! I saw that paint at the autoparts store this past weekend and need to do my truck rims when I do the brakes and rotors this spring. Thanks????
+Raymond perez thanks! I didnt prime because I didnt sand all the way through the paint. The only time you really need primer is if you sanded down to the bare aluminum
So, when that pesky grimy break dust accumulates on that new painted rim in about one years time, how do you get it off without ruining the paint job? Can you spray that Sonax cleaner on that painted rim, or will that cleaner ruin the paint job?
JUSTIN!! I just made a video featuring your channel, as its one of my favorite car channels!! It would mean the world to me if you could check it out. Thanks dude and keep doing what you're doing!
Enjoyed your demonstration of the wheel enhancement procedure. I have been pondering to touch up my Hyundai wheels,ponder no more thanks and keep up the good work.
This is my longest video yet, but I had a lot of things I wanted to cover to ensure you get the best results with your next spray paint project. Big shout out to my dad for helping me film this one!
Hi Justin, excellent work right there. I'd like to try it as well. Could you please list all the products you used I couldn't see them properly on the video? You may add the photos of these products as well. Thanks

Thanks for the video and more importantly thanks for the update. Like/Sub
Great job! Little tip for you.
Before spraying, put the cans in a bucket of warm water for a few mins. Helps thin the paint for a better spray.
Thank you
Yes spray pattern way better.
Thank you v much. 2 years later and still helping

You don’t have to sand the rims do I to paint em gloss black ?
@@memesyandhorrorshorts Gotta do it. Sanding helps the first layer of paint stick to the metal. It's a pretty important step for most painting jobs.
Quick question, how do you clean your rims once you've painted them?
@@fabiopasquale1098 I just clean mine with whatever soap I'm using when I wash my car.
“Looks like someone tried cleaning it with oven cleaner or something” lmao sound like you know what and who did that 😂😂
@dltablet794 you're terrible😂
Lmfaoooo
Actually he says it was that way when his mom bought the car........so.....
Leopard Cup Pup Kryky that’s much worse! He LIED,,,

I can honestly say you achieved exactly what i was hoping to see, great prep and paint application, well done.
Dude that must have made an awesome mothers day gift. You did an excellant job
+kid stang2 thanks! She loved it!
You seem like a chill dood
Nice job bro. Just an added tip.... put your cans in a bucket of HOT water to help the paint flow better. Over all Nice how to.
Shawn Williams Finally someone who says something positive and helps others, thanks
nice tip - thanks!

Great tip, thanks! I did that and it helped a lot.
Wow! I never heard of that haha going to definitely try this next time I go out tagging!
I just learned something today! I never knew this could be done.

That sounds like old guy knowledge. Great.

Nice job Justin. May I be so bold as to recommend you cover the valve before spraying. With annoying little shaped objects like that, I would sometimes cover with Vaseline or similar that can be wiped off after.
It is covered with tape.
Hey Justin, you are so spot on - prep work is the foundation and will reflect in the finished product no matter what you do. Nice job, thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
Great informative video Justin, if all young people present themselves like you have in this video, then the world would be a better place.
I appreciate that!
This is the best rim spray paint tutorial on UA-cam. Thanks! I will attempt painting my rims black
Nicely done, man! 👍🏻
+BMW Fanatic thanks!
What a fantastic result. It looks like a totally different rim from when you started, I bet your mum was pleased. Great work mate.
nicely done. important: tape/mask the lug nut surfaces so the lug nuts/bolts torque down correctly.
Does not change anything...
Been painting since 25years.
Worked at 2 different bodyshops even at dealerships...nobody does that...

If you have to sand down to bare aluminum for any repairs, make sure you use a good etching primer to make sure the paint will stick.
Just did this on my 335i’s wheels, they look BRAND NEW. Couldn’t be happier!

Higher chance of drip
@@NATURALGAMING???? with that logic you shouldn’t spray paint anything vertical lol there shouldn’t be drips if you’re doing a light coat
@@jaz8615 I agree with you but remember wheels are different then your typical object because they must be perfect
@@NATURALGAMING anything on a car has to be perfect put there are still professional paint places that will paint with the panels on the car but alr

That looks factory restored, good job Justin.
huge tip i learned spray painting, never aim the beginning of the spray or end of the spray on what your painting.. start on the side and end on the side. or youll get drips or splatter or uneven paint
One can of cheap, $1 paint per wheel. 4 light coats, 10 minutes between coates works perfectly. Then 2 normal coats clear.
great job looks brand new
+collier martin thanks!
Nice job, wheel looks brand new.
wow that turned out really good!
Thank you!
Class vid mate. Clear and concise and no waffle. Spot on. McIntyre Scotland
How many cans did you go through for all four rims
If you stand the wheel up or put it on a crate or something, you can keep your can vertical for better dispensing of the paint out of the can.
Americans says "Hunday", we say " Hi-yun -die". 👍👌 Great vid, Justin. Always helpful advice.👍I
A good presenter, and son. You're going places dude...
You did a good job and saved your mom some coins. 💯👍🏼😊

Hey man primer?
I used the primer that was already on the wheel rather than sanding down to bare aluminum and re-priming. The primer used in the manufacturing process is probably more durable than the spray primer you will find in a store anyway.
