- Chrome spray paint. Does it work on rims ?
Let's try out this chrome spray paint on my old Chev Cruze rims.
The clear coat is completely gone, let's sand them down to bare aluminum and shoot a coat of chrome paint on them.
Cheap way to fix up old alloy wheels
sand clear coat off of rims

Seems easy enough that you could do this once a year to keep it fresh and nobody will ever notice they were painted lol
True !! Thanks for your support brother !
Cool idea with the playing cards for a quick paint guard for tires.
Thanks !!! I love that trick !!!
I used this and noticed they lose their shine quite fast. I tried a Protective Coating Spray Finish, it held the shine longer but still seemed to dull out. But, like you said, not bad for an old banger 🤟🇨🇦
Thanks for the feedback. I thought about clear coating. I did it in the past and the second coat of clear wrinkled everything ?!
@@pstreetgarage7304 lol I did the same thing, messed up my second coat. I only applied one coat last time and it went well 🤟🇨🇦
@@whitetrashandhellbound6905 Exactly ! When I re did them. I applied 1 thick coat. Cheers
Hi Stephan, that turned out really good. I'm impressed. I'm going to have to give that Rustoleum a shot. Thanks!
Thank you Brother Bill !
They look good Stephen. Thanks for sharing - have a good weekend :)
Jerry, you must cringe at some of my hacking. I am in the process of building a bigger garage and I plan to one day paint my project bus with a spray gun.
Have a great weekend my friend !
They look much better, a huge improvement, well done ❤.
Thank you I appreciate it
I think it is a really nice finish on those alloys. It's a shame the paint isn't very durable. I'd love to see the condition after 3 months of daily driving.
It's not horrible actually. It's definitely a 10 footer but not a big investment. Thanks for viewing !
Definitely an improvement! Them centre caps when you get new tyres the tyre guys always tend to break them, I always take'em off & put them on myself! Cheers!!
Yes for sure, I take them off also. Tire guys are usually not very careful lol. Cheers Jason
Hey brother looks good. Praying you have a blessed day today 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you my friend
I like how you used a deck of cards also!
Love that trick. Way better than taping !
Oh snap! We were both painting tires today 😂 i didnt sand my tires first, just brushed them off 😅 great job! Looks Nooice! 😎 STOC
Thanks !!! I need to get caught up on your tractor repair
@@pstreetgarage7304You betcha! My favorite color as a kid was a can of Rust-Oleum silver and a paint brush back before spray paint 😂..i love chrome for sure! .I hope you will, sorry about the volume...I will get better at filmmaking and working at the same time... 😂
Maybe a set of olde fashoned front curb feelers would help him😊. Another fine job. Such a good dad.
Haha maybe, but I think those would get ripped off. Thanks Michael
Definitely a big Improvement,Nice Job
Thanks Anthony
Very cool brotha, I always wondered how that paint would turn out on rims. Nice work!!
It looks good brotha. Not sure how durable it will be
waanna see it attach to the car too. as finished product
What genius started calling them rims? They’re wheels period! Do you go to the speed shop and buy mag rims? No you buy mag wheels!
Yeah these look great. Gonna try this with my winter rims when I change over to summers. Nice card trick! Must try this. I thought maybe you were going to color in the Chev emblems on the caps. Probably overkill.😊
Overkill for a Chev Cruze. Thanks for watching
Hey you found a good indoor project to keep you busy. I think it looks great. Kinda hard to see the difference on video but in person I’m sure it was a huge difference. For sure better than that peeling clear coat. I thought you were gonna go over it with a clear coat? I bet that would have made them pop even more. Even so, Great job!
I wanted to do the inlay black with clear over the aluminum but my son will trash those in the first 2 weeks. He's got a thing for hitting curbs amongst other things lol
Looks good, but this paint is super delicate. A leaf will scratch it!
Yes. You are correct ! I have noticed that. Thank you for watching !
Nice work Stephan, I think they turned out looking great. I've always been skeptical of the "chrome" paint but that looks worth a try 🙂👍
It's not a bad finish. Probably not very durable. Thank you Zane !
Looks good
Thank you !!!! I appreciate it
You can get overlay decals for the Chevy emblems on the wheel centers. BTW, making the centers black doesn't look too good. It looks cheap.
Well I don't disagree. It is a cheap car and I was just having fun with it.
Good job 👍❤
Thank you !
I used that paint on a rusty patch on my f150s fender & it looked really good
Now I'm debating whether I want to do the rims on my harley with that or go with a color.
Hello thanks for watching. It looks pretty good but I have to say it is soft. As in it scuffs easy but can easily be touched up 👍
@@pstreetgarage7304 Thanks for the feedback. I don't think I will use it on the rims.
I saw a vid recently were they painted chrome then cleared then a light spray of chrome again and it looked more like chrome
I thought about clear coat but these are for my son Chev Cruze. A cheap car. It's an improvement over what he had
I bought a can of Rustyoleum bright coat, read the label when I arrived home and it says for indoor use. Guess that is why it does not hold up well.
The stuff I used. Is not super hard but has held up not bad on a set of rims
How about telling the tire shop to put the weights on the inside of the wheel?
Yes. I dropped the ball on that one. All my other cars have weights on the inside.
Thanks for checking it out !
Adhesion promoter will help the paint stay on the rims
Primer ?? . They are actually holding up better than I though
It's a clear primer It's at auto parts stores ,it says adhesion promoter on the can .
@@AnnoyedCoastalBeach-nl4tm Thanks ! I will check that out.
Everything but the main important part what kind of paint did you use?
Rust Oleum. 👍
Looks good I need to do Katie's
Hey Ed ! Thanks
Dulls doesn't it when you touch it 😂
Yes. Not perfect. Just enough for a spruce up
I have old SUV, Can you please guide how can I Chrome paint wheels without removing them from car at home please.
All 4 disck breaks.
A bit tougher but I have done this before.
Insert a garbage bag inside the wheel to cover the caliper and rotor.
Mask off the rubber with tape and plastic bags. Works fine
Not bad at all. Definitely an improvement. Does your son like them?
He does. Thank you my friend !
@@pstreetgarage7304 You are welcome!
Paint stripper, aluminum brightener ( marine pontoon cleaner) then clear coat.
Yes! I love alumibright. We have it at my work
Oh I’m sure son will be happy.
Yes. Until he beats them up 😆
Ive used this paint. For some reason it dulls short of immediately.
Yes. It is not very durable
I wonder how well will it hold on
With my son's driving......Probably not long 😆😆😆
What if they are black, should it work again with that effect in the end?
I think yes !
What grit sandpaper did you use??
120 I think. Might have started with 80. The old clear coat just fell off.
Try Eastwoods liquid chorme over a FULL WEEK CURED 2k gloss black single stage. Apply the chrome with a small gun AS LIGHT as possible. You can thank me later.
Yes. Would be much better ! Thanks
Never call it chrome. It is matte silver. Why do they put chrome mirror blank caps on that crap? To make you buy the product? You need to file a complaint with the Federal trade commission. They have to put the cap that is exactly like the result of painted surface. Matte.
Yes. It's never like the cap. I knew that going in.
👍👍👍
Olá boa noite vc jogou verniz???🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
Thank you
that should last about 3 months.......not much prep work put into that job
Not the prep. It's the paint. Very soft
or was that four decks of cards ha ha
2 actually. Boom baby !!!
Center cups 🙈
That paint is terrible, won’t last a month.
It's soft but actually not as bad as you would think
crap chrome
Kind of
He doesn't know how to paint. Psst psst psst psst isn't painting. Like dab dab dab dab with a brush.
