Got a tip for y'all here to Mask off the tires - use DISHWASHING LIQUID SOAP! Paint this all over the tire - LET IT DRY go ahead and spray the rim - (dont worry about going over the tire!) When the paint dries hose off or pressure wash off the dish soap it will lather up taking all the extra paint with it! GO AHEAD try it. Used this method hundreds of times, cheap and easy! GREAT VIDEO BUDDY!
Dude thank you so much people,when I was painting my rims everyone doubted me and didn't believe it would work or was gonna last but when I was done they were so surprised.thanks for the diy tutorials. Please keep doing what you do.youre making a difference!💯
Hey @buddysDIY Thanks a bunch for ur vids! My only question would be, can I go directly to the alcohol step if it’s new wheels that I don’t like the colour of ?
I showed mechanic buddy brake caliper trick as he already did his rims....now we doing mine....he got all the tools ,including hydraulic tire remover ...thank you. LOOKS MUCH BETTER .
Nice job for a rattle can finish. Im a professional painter by trade and just rattled canned a roof rack for my truck. Anything can be done with anything!!! Beautiful job my friend!!!
Thanks, brother...just bought a car to do up for my daughter's 17th and after watching your videos, I have the confidence to do all these cosmetic jobs myself safely and save that all important money. I have an innate distrust of garages due to my own ignorance (and fear) of all things car maintenance...but you're helping me along the way. Quoted £610 to refurb and paint my diamond cut 17" rims and the calipers both in semi gloss Matt)...but I'm gonna do it myself now... thanks again 👊 Gonna put a brand new engine in for her and bring the clock back to zero... but will leave that to the professionals!
Thanks for these to-the-point DIY videos. My 15 years old Son and I had a great time restoring his factory wheels. This method worked perfectly as you already know. Awesome video.
I really appreciate how straightforward this tutorial was I was really happy to not have to sit through a 30 minute intro explaining a bunch of bs And more importantly following everything that you said it came out amazing it was very cheap and worth it 10/10
So many other videos don’t say how many cans of paint, primer, and gloss you need, but you had it all laid out very clearly. Hopefully gunna get this done as soon as I make time.
Very informative video. Straight to the point . I love the finish on the brake calibra. You speak very well an clear. Your English teacher will be proud of you .
Very creative with index cards. I was for sure you were going to fold them back over the tires though..lol Love watching how you did this from beginning to end. I looked outside at my rim's and want to do mines now..lol.

Bro I just gotta say how you made this video Is perfect, no bs just to the point. You’ve earned my respect and subscription without even asking. Keep up the grind bro 💪🏼💯

My years of experience with paint : wear a good filter mask , to protect your lungs from the solvents in spray paint . Wear protective a glove on the hand spraying the paint .
Good video. Something else that works for old clear and paint, Aircraft Stripper u can buy at any parts store. Just use gloves and paper towels and used rag bag. Well vented area. Bubbles up the clear and paint super easy in a few minutes. Then Simple Green 45/55 Water mix to clean after. Let dry and ready to go. Less elbow grease this way
Great video! Ill be doing my rims next Saturday. I was hoping to see you use the wire brush in comparison with the sandpaper. I was debating renting a small 5" orbital sander to make the sanding a bit easier until I saw your wire brush as I already have a high end drill.
When you were sanding the wheels in the beginning, would you recommend using the wire brush to make the job faster or using the sand paper grids like you did in the video?
This is awesome mod. I’m deff trying this on my 06 accord wheels. I got the same design and once they get painted black they will look awesome with the silver exterior
Excellent video. I just watched your video on how to paint brake calipers. I love how you get right to the demonstration without the B. S. Like other videos. Thank you!!
Hey thanks! So you wanna wait till paint is tacky but not dry. Honestly I usually paint about 5-10 mims between coats. Any paint can will usually say "Between a few mins and 45 mins." You don't wanna wait till its dry But you also wanna give it atleast 3 mins or so to not be soaking wet. If youre in a super cold area id wait about 20 mins, And youre doint it in the sun or in a warm area liie texas, florida, Airzona, if say 5 mins is probably enough.
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm curious about painting the lugnuts. Any tips on that? How do you keep them from getting all scrapped up during the installation?
Glad to have you. If you haven't already check out the how to flip cars series on the channel homepage! Those are my most popular videos. The subs really seem to enjoy them!
They look great. I'm going to do the same. Do you have any tips for the lug nuts to avoid getting paint or clearcoat on the threads? If you layer to much primer, paint, and clear coat are there issues with fit? I'm probably over thinking it but would rather not get to the end and realize I did something stupid.
I ended up opting for some 2k clear coat from Max Spray for the finish which made em look nice and glossy. Some like yourself and a friend of mines like the semi look which looks equally stylish
Thanks for this informative video!! Would the rims still be power-washable? Also, do you spray the “inside” or the other side of the rims as well? Thanks!!
I did not spray the inside but you can. I find it pointless since light never gets in there. Also with a little bit of driving it will get brake dust in there and it'll be black as can be in there. I'd try tj get a few inches in there when you initially spray them. And yes they can be power washed for sure. Give them proper curing time and they will be super durable
Hello! Love your videos! Especially the car flipping series :) But I have a question: what do you do on the inside/backside of the rim? Do you paint that as well? If so, turn the wheel and the same procedure? How does paint compare against plasti dip?
Plasti dip will flake off and chip especially in the sun since all it is, is a rubberized coating. Actually painting like this will last much much longer. And it would be the same exact procedure on the backside of the rim
They gold up great man. This paint is awesome. You can see my car inspection video I just made on the bmw. I paint those the same way probably 14 months ago!
@@BuddysDIY ...sounds like a very good spray paint that sticks. Thanks for the quick response, I’ll check out the video in a few minutes. Cheers from NYC 🗽
This paint hardens like no other paint. It's not latex baised paint so it will not stick at all and have those peels. You can remove the center cap if you'd like but I've been painting my wheels like this since I was 16 and also have the same paint on my BMW (as shown in other videos) not a single problem. Even had my tires changed and the paint held up like a champ on the tire changer machine!
I didn’t have any alcohol or germ-x, so I looked around the house for something I could use to get the dust off the wheels after I sanded them. All I could find was some leftover guacamole from the restaurant to night before. Turns out guacamole is excellent for cleaning the dust off wheels before you paint them. They came out beautiful.
How many coats of the clear gloss should I put on at the end after the three coats of the black bumper paint is laid on ? And does that go right on after 20 minutes of the third and final coat of the black ?
The best DIY videos out there!!! Thanks bro 😎 . You’re awesome .👏 The way you explain everything step by step always keeping safety in mind and also indicate why you use certain products is extremely helpful. Great job.👏
There are miliions if not billions videos out there but your's are the most simple and easy. My wife thinks i can't even out a screw in a wall but here I'm about to change the look of my for under $100. i paid $950 for her Yukon.

How’s the paint holding up 3 years later?
No answer lol
If u don't live in gravel roads or salty roads it'll be okay.
Probably not as good as using actual wheel paint instead of bumper paint.
Just repaint everytime it get bad
Probably better than it looked before.

Buy black lug nuts
I save all your car DIYs bro.....You've saved us so much money👊
Sheesh had to subscribe. Going to do this to my 370Z stock rims this weekend. You made it look easy.. Hoping I don’t mess it up.

Great video! Ill be doing my rims next Saturday. I was hoping to see you use the wire brush in comparison with the sandpaper. I was debating renting a small 5" orbital sander to make the sanding a bit easier until I saw your wire brush as I already have a high end drill.
Wire brush forsure man. Sand after with 400 nd careful not to put super deep scratches with the brush
From Steve. I learned a lot from you about how to paint rims and which paint is best to use, thank you BRO. ✌🙂
When you were sanding the wheels in the beginning, would you recommend using the wire brush to make the job faster or using the sand paper grids like you did in the video?

How long does this last before chipping? Or how often do you retouch?
He's using paint meant for plastic and rubber.not gonna last.use enamel primer paint and clearcoat only..rustoleum

Let the tyre down and squeeze some 4 /5 mm electrical wire around between the tyre and rim ,then mask up .
Getter a better edge finish.
I have factory gloss black rims and while you can’t deny they do look superb they’re also the hardest to keep clean and scratch free lol
Thanks man this was super informative! How long would you say it would take for all 4 wheels to be done?
You can knock this out in a few hours for sure
Wonderful Job! 👍🏾👏🏾 I'm gonna paint my calipers on my Honda. Single Girl Power 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Do you have to turn the wheel around and paint the back (inside) too? If yes, did you sand it down and primer it?
Thanks!
I did a few inches in there!

@@BuddysDIY Im doing one at a time, I actually started this morning after watching your video. Is one can of spray paint enough for just one wheel?

@@BuddysDIY whats your IG bro, cant seem to find your username on your channel page. Im going to start on my 2nd wheel today. 👍
Do I need to sand NEW wheels before painting them?
Nice job! FYI: if you heat the spray can up with warm water for 1/2 hour with help the paint flow better.
If it's cold you can do that yes! I'm in florida so it doesn't get that cold lol
I’m in Missouri. I leave the cans in the sun which warms the paint too
thats whats up i did similar to my 97 prelude factory wheels aslo added a red painted honda h and a red stri0e around wheel lip.
They look great. I'm going to do the same. Do you have any tips for the lug nuts to avoid getting paint or clearcoat on the threads? If you layer to much primer, paint, and clear coat are there issues with fit? I'm probably over thinking it but would rather not get to the end and realize I did something stupid.
Haha don't worry about the threads. They will screw in fine even with 10 coats on them. The paint will simply peel off and it won't harm anything!
@@BuddysDIY Awesome, thanks!
Did mine exactly like this and they’ve lasted for years this guy is legit
How long does a project like this take? I would probably only have around a day to do it and ive never spray painted to this extent before
You can easily do this in a day!
it took me 7 hours for one wheel but im kind of an idiot so
I ended up opting for some 2k clear coat from Max Spray for the finish which made em look nice and glossy. Some like yourself and a friend of mines like the semi look which looks equally stylish
I think I'm going to redo mine (curb rash) and go for the high gloss honestly
Send me a pic of yours at buddysdiy@yahoo.com
@@BuddysDIY does this work on chrome rims?
When using the paint for a car could you apply a separate can of clear coat on top and if you can would it still leave the satin finish?
Yeah of course. You would look for clear coat 'flat'
There is clear coat 'gloss' which would cause a shiny finish.
You need the clear coat or it wont last.
He didn't put one on and its actually as important as the primer
amazing finish and teaching. but how many cans should i buy to cover 4 wheels??
Another awesome video, easy to follow and great tips.

cool. if i still want to preserve the original color of the rims. can i skip to primer and paint? or is always necessary to sand.
Won't there be an unpainted line between the rim and tire where you put the index cards?
No annoying crappy background noise/ music. No dumbass long intro. No begging to subscribe.. Outstanding job.
