Here we go, got a little scrape on my wheel. Not sure where it came from but let's deal with it. First we need to fill it with something that turns as hard as steel. Quicksteel is the solution I use. Gets rock hard, exactly what I'm looking for. Next, clean the wheel and sand the scrape a bit. Fill it with the Quicksteel and sand it down until it's smooth to the touch. Now let's paint. I used some paint and a Q-Tip. Or you can just spray it. Make sure you clear coat it and done.
But, we're not done yet. Now we're going to put some colorized plastic dip from www.dipyourcar.com on. Just follow the instruction and make sure the layers of paint are thick enough. Done. To fully cure, let dry for 48 hours. However, I mounted my wheels just an hour after painting and drove with them the very next day.
It couldn't be easier. Head over the www.dipyourcar.com and pick your colors.
*** 4 month update: So I've been riding on these wheels for 4 months now. I had a flat a couple months ago. When I took it to the tire shop they had to take the tire off. They scuffed the edge of the wheel a little bit but when I got home I just added another couple layers of the plastidip that I had left over and it looks great. The only thing is that when they touched the wheel with the dirty gloves, they put some dirty spots in the middle of the wheel that will not wash out. Again, I painted over it and it looks great. I will redo my wheels in a slightly lighter color maybe later this year. Just love this stuff. :)
Thank you for watching :)

Looks good Daniel. I need to fix a wheel on my wife's Avalon. Not sure what direction I'm going. I've watched plasti dip videos for a while now. Never got the nerve to do it. LOL 🤣

Yeah me neither. I just decided to pull the trigger as these wheels don’t have a matching spray can paint version. Needed a way to cover it up. I’ve been driving around for 3 weeks now and the still look like the first day I did them. Seems to hold up well.

Just a quick update. I had a flat, got it fixed but the tire dealer damaged the rim of the plastidip. When I got home I sprayed a little of the leftover plastidip paint on the scuffed area and it looks like new again.

if you don’t have a air compressor, use a leaf blower works just as good for this and drying your car after you wash it and the leaf blower is cheaper to buy .

I’ve done leaf blowers before. The only problem is that it throws dirt particles back on your car. Not good if you plan on working on paint right after. My compressor has a filter in it. Even then it could pick up dirt from the garage or surrounding.

Car wash and pressure washer is fine. Don't put new dip over old dip. Peel it and start fresh.

That’s a great tip. I was going to try new over old to see how it holds but your idea is the proper way to do it. I’m struggling to find a good color. Let me know what would go on here?

After filling in with the quick steel do you need to paint the wheel if I’m just going to plastidip or can I just skip that?
@Turbo_Snail
@Turbo_Snail 3 года назад
You can skip that. Just plastidip right over it. I just tried to show the process if you were going to paint.

Hey would you happen to remember what sand paper you used?
@Turbo_Snail
@Turbo_Snail 2 года назад
I usually use something roughy like 80-120 to start and end at about 400 depending how smooth I need to make it. When you paint you probably don’t want to go past 320-400 as there is nothing for the paint to grab onto. If you Sand after painting I’d progress all the way to 5000 grit and polish it out for a mirror finish.

It’s an old color. It was called brass monkey. Very nice when clean and the sun shines on it. What I learned is that break dust sticks to it and soon it’ll turn ugly. Almost impossible to clean. Check my other video where I remove it. It’s a pain in the a….

I gotta say I never take my car through the car wash tho. But if you paint, go bold. You can always change color. I think it cost me $50-60 for the product. At that price you just get another color whenever you wish. The trick is to use all cans until they are empty. You need a nice thick layer.
