Alloy Wheel Repair in Under 10 Minutes 

A brilliant repair. I'm so glad I found your channel. 10/10 and enjoying going through all your videos.

Really nice job! Thanks for teaching us how to paint!

Best repair wheel video, and UK one as well, that I have seen. Thanks for the post.

These videos are brilliant

Love your work mate, so glad i found your channel. Top work 👍👌

Top stuff. I've got a couple of spray guns but never know how to set them up properly, especially with a 2K clear. A video on that if time allows would be awesome! Learnt loads so far

Excellent video, no waffle and explains what do if you’re broke and don’t have the top equipment

Great video great channel

I really like your video

Really good job 👏 i have all the different grit sand papers and some resin, sanded, filled and sanded afain ready to paint. Is it ok use hairdryer instead of heatgun?

Looks great when you have the tools!

Thanks

amazing, i think it would be doable for a reasonably competent diy,er. . thanks for your video, could have done with this in the 70/80s, Cortina wheels and the like. cheers rodders

I couldn't understand when you said the color of the silver. Sounded like moon silver? Great video!

çok başarılı tebrik ederim

handy channel this one

Thank you for sharing you knowledge and your experience!!

Awesome

Little decreaser on the tire helps. I do this same exact process. But I think I'll adopt your sanding routine, seems better.

Which Equipment you use,good Job.

Thankyou

Nice method. Can't be bothered refinishing an entire wheel for a little curb rash. But a paint pen touch up wont do either. Will give it a go.

Really instructive, I’ve got 4 to do but I will be taking them off the car, looking forward to giving it a try now !

GREAT!

can u do this same method on wheel lacquer bubbling?

Can you recommend a tool that can be used to sand/grind as well as polish.

Wow, great job. Do you have any videos on how to fix aluminum polished rims? It would be the ones that come as stock rims in dodge challengers. Thanks in advance.

Just curious do you have to fill the part of the rim that’s been sanded?

This is the right way to do it. Kudos! 👏 I use pretty much the same technique. Each time would cost $175, but it is almost free to do it myself...after buying sandpaper, compound, spray paint, tape, and some paper.

I am curious how do you figure out what paint color to use?

Hi great video, is it necessary to apply the lacquer whilst the paint is still drying or could I apply the next day for example?

What sander did you use? Was it the 50 or 75 mm? Cheers

Whats the product to remove the gunk off the wheels pls?

Great video. What's the model of the sander please

Great video! Can you tell me what your spray gun is set at so it only comes out at that little?

Very good.....Didn't cover up the brake disc s...lol

Good job! I have a little different issue that maybe you can help with. Forged Aluminum wheels with a brushed look mostly, but the higher ribs are sanded glossy. The glossy ribs have several damaged areas, such as chips, dings, shallow cavity areas. So it would take a whole lot of sanding and lowering of the ribs wholesale, to get to shiny levels. Or, is there a way to say put Helioarc aluminum in first to fill and then sand? Thanks!

Awesome man! But, how do you know how much to sand down? Because you might end up changing the shape of the edge so it looks different to the surrounding area?

What should I paid for a repair like this in scotland uk per rim?

Are you using 2k lacquer ?

Same crap with armral interior cleaner that really does not clean the car interior wash with damp rag dry then dampen a rag in olive oil and apply a light coat of the oil it will actually miniatures the plastics makes them look like new and can be removed with soap and water unlike armral expressly if you need to paint down the road .. Great job on fixing the rim.

Great Video, is it not worth masking the brake pads / discs with a plastic bag ?

how did he avoid painting the brake discs behind the wheel ?

When I repair a wheel I've found it easier to use some paint sample metal panels rather than masking the tyre off. You can get them right into the edge of the wheel and it's much quicker than masking off.

What is colour code for the silver wheels

What size compressor would you use for mobile work to run those die grinders, DAs, etc and to paint?

Good job... If you did use rattle cans would you recommend any type

Hi mate, how did you know primer wasnt needed? When should primer be used?

what tools did you use? for painting, sanding etc?

How much would this kind of repair cost?

You can use old pack 3:25 of playing Cards between tyre & wheel

Realistically how long does it take for the paint to dry using this method? Everywhere I look it says to allow 24 hours to cure but as it’s my daily driver I need to use it still. Is there a specific paint brand you use?

Hi mate, Is it possible to re-paint it with spray paint and clear coat aerosols?

Fade out thinners in a spray can to melt any over spray edges .

Oh and what grit is that scuffpad pls?

Being a complete novice 🤣 would it be easier for me to lacquer the the hole wheel?(wheel of car) am not to confident and ending up with a line where tape is. Av sprayed with satin black paint for bits on a motorbike before. But never a lacquer/clear coat. Thanks stu.

Are all silver alloy wheel paints the same ? All I can find in cans is a silver alloy wheel paint. Nothing too specific like paint codes etc. I have a 2013 VW Golf

As a professional i would have thought the extra 30 seconds it would take to apply a cover over the disc and caliper behins the wheel would have done 2 things. Show you care Stop any over spray of silver or laquer fron potentially showing up behind the wheel.

Do you get any over spray. If so can you buff it out?

Is it safe to go through a car wash and pressure wash these rims etc after they have been repaired and dried?

what is the best website or book for rim paint codes ?

Interesting that you don't use any primer or adhesion promoter. Is it gonna peel away from aluminum if you don't use any primer?

👍👍

How do you find out the colour of paint for the wheels?

What colour alloy paint was that? Couldn't hear over the noise. Cheers ❤

The instructions on my base coat rattle can say to wait 24 hours before putting on the clear 😮 does this really matter?

So how much that cost to a customer ?

Worthwhile buying a spray gun if i have the compressor ?

I did this in a brand new rental bmw. Good times

Why not mask out the brake caliper behind too? Spray must have got through

Your talking like we no what 180/130 grip means can you please explain? You say 130/then go up to 180 grip which I don’t understand why you go up and then down ? Do you mean the diffrent roughness of the sanding paper? Also is their a special sand paper? Or can I just buy paper from any DIY? If so would I ask for a 180/130 grip is that what you mean?so I mean dose grip mean the roughness of the sanding paper? I’m wanting to do this to my car and I’m no mechanic or car re sprayer I’m nothing so could u poss explain these things to me??also how do you find out what Color silver your mini alloy is?where can I find this out??also I don’t have a spray gun like you do so this video seems really for people who have all the needed tools so is their anything else I can use? Uno when you get the correct Color paint dose it come in a spray tin? Is it possible to use a spray tin as i Dnt have what you have? I’m quiet good with spray tins but iv never tried on a car alloy. I hope this makes sense? I no it’s a lot of questions?

2k clear?

Where can I get the paints for this exact colour from? As spray cans

That is a new clip yes or a old clip my friend.

Hola, Laca?

👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

How much do you charge for something like that?

You will have some lovely silver breaks as a result of your technique tho

I'm not a fan of paint on the brakes.

CAUTION: Spraying exposed brakes could allow for brake pads to become, "gummed-up", reducing efficiency of braking power, which could lead to increased risk of a crash. Remove the wheel or properly protect the brakes before painting.

Nice job but much more than 10 minutes.

A bit esoteric for me. I feel the nice guy presumed prior Knowledge. Didn't understand much.

You should have taken off the wheel, you painted the brake rotor. The customer's braking performance will be affected.
