Good video! Thanks for highlighting the length of time it takes. I am refinishing and painting my wheels, and based on other tutorials didn't realize how much I had bitten off.

Okay so I just stripped two of my wheels using polystrippa. I agree with what he says in the video - don't do it at home. It's not worth it at all. I had 3 layers of paint to get through so it was even worse for me. I'm definitely taking my other two wheels to a sandblaster, this experience was traumatic lmao

@jackheinemann8780 Год назад

I've found dulux metal primers you buy from bunnings to be absolutely excellent on aluminium. I've painted multiple cast aluminium mowers with the stuff, the paint has etched into the aluminium so hard its only come off from mechanical wear.

@kiwiace625 7 лет назад

Great tutorial. I'm wanting to paint my wheels but just wondering do I have to take the clear lacquer off. It's just the curbing on the edge that bothers me. Could I sand and fill then just primer and paint that area and blend a clear into the rest? what sort of paint? prefer not to use 2k at home. Thank you

@waleedkrezem7386 6 лет назад

I have a question, I took a really long road trip (8 hours) and to my luck a sand storm hit, I didn't stop I kept going, now my rims clear coat was eaten out, the paint is instact, can I just reclear them ? Before I repaint them I wanna sand them a bit first to remove the contaminated clear from the sand. What do you recommend ?

@darianmackmer5444 Год назад

You should try polishing man, this would be a pretty easy design to do. This style would look nice shiny

@karljones9357 8 лет назад

Hi Gunman, you made that look so easy, I've just done one wheel that was shot to shit, but I think I will take your advice and get them shot blasted. The primer you used on the bare alloy, was it etch primer? Any take care and I love you car. Sounds like a monster. Awesome. Keep Gunning Gunman. Karl 🇬🇧

@CosmicMindSense 2 года назад

Nice ! Does applying an epoxy primer directly to blasted bare aluminum wheels, then applying chemically (1h30min later) a catalysed primer be best or self etch + catalyzed primer ?

@ryanmegill9292 8 лет назад

I love your videos. I have a quick question about priming aluminum. Can you use epoxy primer? Or can you only use an etching primer? This seems to be a big debate on which primer to use on aluminum. Thanks for your advice and keep the videos coming!!!

@damian4483 6 лет назад

Would I have to mask off the barrel of the wheel and paint the face first or paint just do it all at once ?

@r.broderick2222 9 лет назад

Can we Apply and Epoxy Clear after Applying the Etch Primer?

@AleksT.RiffZillaInc. 7 лет назад

I have a similar type stripper , it works the same way when tested , its uncolored thick gel , is there a liquid such as thinners or alcohol that wont weaken the strength too much but liquefy it slightly ? I know they make it as a gel as to stick to walls and not run down ... The wheels are old school 3 piece Rays Volk mesh and its really hard to get the gel to flow down into the more intricate bits of the wheel design. So a more liquid type deal will work best... Thanks man !!!

@burnieking1401 8 лет назад

Hi mate, I was inspired to touch up the gutter rash on my rims, and I've blended out the scratches and filled with bog. I picked up some primer, silver and clear... but in my rush at the store I managed to pick up Enamel based paint (pressure packs). Now, I've had issues with enamel paints in the past (like it taking over a week to cure, and that's in the NT with heat lamps), so I'm a bit concerned about using enamels again. But seeing as its only a small edge touch up, is there any advice you can give me regarding the use of enamels? Like; * How can I decrease the drying time? * What sort of time should I leave between coats (primer, silver, clear) * Should I just shit-can it altogether and find some acrylics Cheers. Great videos as usual.

@TheCallouscal 6 лет назад

We use lots of chromate based paints and materials in the aircraft industry; I believe its a 'Hexochromate' and once it enters the body it can't be removed (much like asbestos). Its prolonged exposure i.e. years, that causes health problems.

@jackheinemann8780 Год назад

Hex chrome is dangerous, as far as im aware, industry has moved toward trivelent chrome nearly everywhere now which is much safer. Heavy metal exposure of all types is cumulative, however some metals are more dangerous than others.

@andyspence5109 8 лет назад

@TheGunmanChannel 8 лет назад

It's a busy panel shop, the entire shop has cars all through it. No matter where I did it I would be near a car, I was just careful I didn't make a mess and get it all over the place. ok so I could have thrown a piece of plastic over it but didn't and it wasn't an issue.

@EddieZ999 7 лет назад

You nailed it on the spot when you started talking about getting lost when painting them. When spraying clear I still have trouble with dry spray in some spots. I try and wet out the wheel, but it's such a fine line before it starts to run. I turned down my PSI to about 15 and cut the fluid nozzle down about half way and it seems to help. Any other suggestions to help this problem? Thanks.

@EddieZ999 7 лет назад

Watched your other wheel painting videos and I think they answered my question, but if you have anything more to add I'd appreciate it.

@The Gunman Hi, At about 11 mins in the video, you do a close up on the alloy you painted on the blue Ford, the tyres have that glossy wet look black sheen to them, what do you use to get the tyres wet and shiny looking, what is the product, thanks.

@TheGunmanChannel 7 лет назад

It was So Easy but use with caution as it has silicone in it, only use when you are sure you won't need to do any painting for a while, also careful where you use it because it floats.

Was there much damage to the wheels (from gutter damage or such)? is so, how did you go about repairing? Also, I've been reading about powder coating, do you prefer paint over powder ? Nice looking wheels btw :)

@TheGunmanChannel 9 лет назад

Yes mate I prefer paint to powder because I think they have a much higher quality finish. There was a little gutter rash but I just sanded it out with 120 then 240 then primed, if it had very deep scratches then I'd use a little body filler then prime.

I am painting some rims with way more spokes. I think the main thing I learned like you is dont do the sanding/stripping by hand . Waaaaay too much work. I found the primer tricky to spray though. Was thinking of using my touch up gun to paint the rest. Can I use a a touch up gun with a 1.0 for the clear?

@TheGunmanChannel 7 лет назад

Yeah that'd be fine, I use touch up guns with 1.0mm on all the wheels I paint these days

@markbensinger3560 2 года назад

I’m curious if anybody has ever given you the tip of plastic bagging each wheel as you put a good heavy coat of gel stripper on them, give them a good half a day in that bag out of the sun then pull them out hit them with the power washer and do it again. You don’t have to get your hands all up in that crap. And using the plastic bag keeps the paint stripper from evaporating therefore “a lot more action out of your stripper per application!”

@phordguy 9 лет назад

The Gunman They have three diff models. I picked up the 16587 that uses the pressurized cup so that I could use 1.8 or 2.0mm tips for thick poly primer or even undercoating. The bad thing about them is that you have to get their PPS cups but they are easy to find. They make a 1.4mm gun/tip gun also that would be good for sealer or base. Guys tell me if they quick clean the plastic heads they can get 10 or more uses. I am only a hobbyist so take my recommendations with a grain of salt!

Well, now i know why it's so hard for me to strip my Prius rims - i'm using a brush and not a hand to apply paint stripper. Oh well, 1 wheel done 3 more to go and a lot of sanding. Also i live in an apartment and it's 5-10deg C outside, so yeah, got to think my process out a whole lot.

@GS-xp5jq 4 года назад

What are the odds of that. I'm also trying to paint strip my Prius wheels and am having a lot of trouble too. Are you wheels the 15 inch 2nd gen Prius wheels? Aka the magnesium 6 spoke wheels that Toyota put on for fuel economy due to their light weight on the 2004 to 2009 Prius. I wonder if it has anything to do with the magnesium construction. Traditionally most manufacturers stopped making magnesium wheels in the 80s because the paint peels easily, maybe Toyota used a strong paint to make up for that?

@eivis13 4 года назад

@@GS-xp5jq Nope, i have the newer 10 spoke in a patter of 5 pairs 15inch ones(i think they came on the 3rd gen prius). The offset, CB and other numbers seem to be the same as the gen 2 15inch wheels so they should fit. Also i'm doing this for winter wheels that i got for fairly cheap (100eur - 4 wheels with 7-7.5mm tire tread, but i think the rubber will be fairly stiff when the cold hits) and they are badly corroded so the wheels were already missing/about to be missing 25-30% of the paint. Anyway gonna be doing the original 16inchers sometime in the winter or spring, because mine look bad without the hub caps(also corrosion). Any idea if they're magnesium or something other than an aluminum alloy?
