    wow! amazing purely amazing and well paced and very informative without being OVERLY dramatic or making the mistake of being " too expert" in the language or materials used this could be followed by literally anyone with any budget and without any loop holes or forgotten materials or worse materials or tools unobtainable by normal people! too many incredible individuals with vast skill and knowledge either speak so poorly its not conveyed to the viewer or use equipment so expensive that the people watching the video cannot purchase or even rent the equipment and the viewers who could afford such luxuries instead go to someone and pays for it to be done! lol its apparent you know your business and im subbed and this video had the like button mashed! ive been a mechanic 17 yrs and have only lightly dabbled in the aesthetics of paint with poor results simply due to lack of KNOWLEDGE! your video was by far the most informative and paced so well I wasnt bored or forced to fast forward lol! thanks again and its appreciated since ive got some rims needing fixed myself!

    Blasted mine with my buddy's setup then asked a local body shop the next time they were painting a silver car. They were painting a silver BMW the following week so they shot my rims for $100 at the same time. I did all the prep, covered them with trashbags to keep them clean, they just painted. Came out spectacular.

    After all the great tips SPC gives us, I have a good one for you. For rim painting I like to do off vehicle on a large lazy suzan or turn table. I stand in one spot and get 100% coverage spraying as the wheel spins. I also use vaseline on the rubber by brush for the overspray and power wash later. Thanks again and keep it up!!!

    I had a set of American Racing FWD star wheels and the centers corroded under the clear first, then places on the rim corroded. Didn't have any success stripping the clear to polish out the rims. Didn't consider painting them, so I got rid of them. Haven't bought clear coated wheels since then. This video shows me that I can pickup someone's cast off corroded finish wheels if they otherwise suit me and make them look good again.

    Great DIY video.
    I have a suggestion to mask the tire easier.
    When you mask the tire i don't mask all the way to the rim, i leave a space about an inch to an inch and a half then i paint the tire with a layer of soap. The soap i use is thick like grease and normally used on wooden floors. When the the paint is dry i wash of the soap.
    The same soap can be used on your cooking pan and pot when you cook over an open fire and the sot vil be way easier to clean.

    Tire shops scars the wheels up, then use another tire shop. A good modern tire machine if used correctly does not even touch the outer rim beads. Only the clamping from the bottom inside touches the wheels, which is impossible to avoid. Older tire machines did scar the wheels but those are not used anymore that I've seen.

    Here's a lil trick for ya! When I have painted wheels in the past I apply tire shine w a curved applicator spraying the shine on the applicator not tire. Then you can spray the rims and can get it in the tire. After the rims dry you can hose off the paint on the tire cause the paint won't stick to the tire shine. I found it way easier then taping and covering the tire!

    @tomaslopez9642 4 роки тому +1

    Regarding the clear, how many coats, do you put on, also do you put on a light coat first, then you put a heavy coat, or do you keep spraying the clear so the whole front of the rim gets protected,also the back of the rim, what worries me, is the brake dust do you also put clear on, considering the brake dust could really do a number on those rims or mag wheels, like surface rust, I have seen cases where there is an almost new car, and the rims,(steel rims), sometimes factory mag wheels start to look brown from the brake dust, no matter what you use to clean them.

    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.

    Idk seems like this could be easier just using some wheel acid to bring them back to their original shine.
    No paint required.
    You can not use wheel acid on all wheels tho, gotta know what you're doing!

    Works better if u let the air out of the tire. Then you can tuck cardboard/post cards between tire and rim. Works fantastic

    Sweet Project Cars: when would this method be used vs. the other one you used where you stripped the clear coat with aircraft remover stripper? I have alloy rims that looks just like the ones you have in this video and am figuring out what method I need to use to restore them. Thanks!

    • @SweetProjectCars
      @SweetProjectCars  6 років тому +1

      Hello Scott if you have rims like these in the video I would do this video exactly as we did it if you want them shiny then you would have to sand all the roughness out by hand then buff them till they shine but if you like the results of what you see in this video just follow this video and you’ll be good to go my friend have a great night

    • @scottduty4885
      @scottduty4885 6 років тому +1

      Sweet Project Cars Thanks for your reply and tips! My rims are from a Honda Odyssey. The rims have a shiny, machined finish on the front of the spokes and the sides and inner parts are painted. Could I strip the clear, use a drill with wire brush to remove all the corrosion, then re-clear to maintain the machined finish? I don't have a sand blaster attachment.

    Hi, great video. So the blasting you dis was only to remove the clear coat right? You didn't remove the basecoat? I want to refinish all my four silver aluminum rims but do I need to strip all the way to bare metal or can I just sand the clear coat and paint a fresh new silver basecoat?

    If you haven't got the compressor to spray them use rattle cans, if you don't have a compressor you'll fall at the first hurdle because you won't be able to bead blast them.

    • @SweetProjectCars
      @SweetProjectCars  4 роки тому +1

      Paul as most people know in order to work on the car if you need a few simple tools an air compressor is one of the most important tools you can have otherwise you’ll be paying people to do the work on your car for you Thanks Mike Sweet project cars

      I've worked on my own cars and relatives cars for over 30 years and never owned a compressor and never needed one, I will say that having one would make some things a bit easier, I guess I've just got by without up to now, great video by the way.

    You should use slow steady strokes and not tip the can upside down which could cause drips. You have to stand up walk around the wheel and hit all angles consistently from the same direction. Several lite coats not heavy

    Briliant silver is a good paint only when u have strong, direct sunlight hitting it, a little poly never hurts, but for all other aplications i would pass, as it makes the metal look dull

    PLUS THE SPRAY TECHNIQUE THIS GUY USES IT ONE TO FOLLOW
    DONT PRESS AN HOLD THE PAINT IN ONE PLACE OR IT WILL RUN
