The difference between you and the other instructional videos is that you're a good teacher. Too many instructional videos are from people who know the process so well they can't put themselves in the shoes of a person trying it for the first time, and so they leave out details. You hit every detail and I love it! Keep it up, Chris.

5 years ago this was posted, your still going strong and inspiring many. I'm only 14, and I am way into mechanics because of u, I have watched almost all your videos, and today I actually thought I would attempt a DIY. I wanted to paint the rims on my 97 ranger(almost the exact same as your b3000) but, I wanted to test my skills before I scuffed something up. So I got a steelie from a junk yard, and followed these exact steps, I was only able to get up to the 3 coats of primer due to a thunderstorm. But it still came out great so far. I will continue tommorow, but I just wanted to let you know, you inspired me a lot due to these videos, and I want you to keep continuing stuff such as this going. Great work Chris.

Thanks Chris! I wish I'd seen your trick about using the index cards between the tire and the rim to catch any over spray. It would have saved me a LOT of time applying and then removing painter's tape around the rim. That's also a great tip about using the tire gel to clean off any over spray from the tire.

@deveauxgauger6896 2 года назад

@@qualitytouch Overall has held up well. These are my winter tires, so these wheels take a beating from our crumbling Michigan roads. The thin edge near the tires has been compromised in a few spots, probably from salt or gravel, or more likely too close to a curb. Will touch up when it’s warmer. But main part of wheels continue to look great!

Chris, Your video is brilliant! I've been struggling with cleaning up 12" rims from a 1947 Crosley pickup truck that I am restoring. I spent 8 hours with wire brushes this past weekend and it kicked my butt. Plus the wheels are no where close to being paint-ready. Your tips are a life saver. At $80.00 - $125.00 a wheel for sand blasting and powder coating your way is the way to go. I'll get about doing this starting Saturday and will let you know how it turns out. Bill

@parrishib 6 лет назад

TLDR: Wear safety glasses even if you look silly. You could lose an eye

@sjaflix 2 года назад

Thank you for the motivation to refinish my wheels! I had some lessons learned: 1. After spending 30 min cleaning a wheel with grinder and not making much progress, I went to a local dustless blaster- $50 and 5 min later the outside of my wheels were cleaner than I could have ever done! 2. It's important to pick heavy stock index cards--mine were too light and were difficult to push into the wheel bead not even considering the wind. 3. I chose Rustoleum Automotive sandable primer--there were a lot of solids I needed to sand and would not recommend it. 4. The time spent on this project was more like 12 hours than 2!

How has the paint held up?

@jacoblloyd2573 Год назад

This response is key It's hard to do at-home maintenance when you're new and that fourth point brings up how much more exponential the time sink is. Worth the money tho Doing everything the Christfix way makes me want two cars so I can get this stuff done and still be on the road!

@nrich5127 2 года назад

Don't forget to shake the spray can for 2 minutes to properly mix the paint before you put it in the hot water. I would wait at least 8 hours to let the paint really harden before re-installing the wheel. I love the tip about using index cards to shield the tire while painting - some old playing cards could also be used.

I was a fine finish/spray painter at Disneyland from 1985 until I retired in 2011, and although I've only resorted to the use of spray cans a few times when it was more convenient to not drag out my spray equipment at home, it was a pleasure to see the time and expertise you took to properly prep and then clean the rim with alcohol prior to priming and painting it, the only other thing I would have done would have been to refinish the other side of the wheel, and then clear coat both sides with high gloss Krylon. Overall, a nice video and good craftsmanship which you can be proud to show off.

You make everything feel so comfortable. Note that I didn't say easy - anyone competent can make their craft look easy. But you make is seem approachable. I've done multiple projects with your tutorials and they've all turned out great. I think I riffed off some of your previous videos when I decided to correct my paint and redo a huge section where all the clear coat and some of the actual paint had come off the A pillar all the way back to the trunk of the car. I did these prep steps and then wet sanded and cut compounded the glossy Rustoleum you used here, and it turned out great! The shine was nice and didn't require me to spend money on five cans of clear coat. And you're right about the paint; one can of Rustoleum replaced five of those shitty dollar cans and the dollar cans never looked right no matter how much I sanded or how many coats! The Rustoleum was so easy and so good for being so cheap. Thanks for doing what you do.

@KnolltopFarms 8 лет назад

+ExaltedDuck I am a safety glasses all the time kind of guy, and I hate face shields...but, whenever I'm using either a wire wheel or a thin cutting wheel(not grinding wheels, just thin cutting ones) I always wear a face shield. One thing I've had personally happen is a stray wire pierced my nose, super not fun. The proof I was doing the right thing came when a few years ago a friend had a cutting wheel come apart on him and a chunk of the disc cut into his neck! The blood he left as a reminder on his shop's floor was horrific to see the next day when I came to check him out with his 7 stitches. Of course, to drive the point home his Dr. said if it had been 2 inches to the left(I think?), it would have cut into his jugular vein and he would have died. From a friggen 4" grinder, now that would be beyond embarrassing! Just a heads up, I'm totally not a safety spaz, I just know enough to respect the power of my tools. I'm certainly not harping away on anyone either, but if it saves one person's face(or life!), then I have been a good human and maybe the aliens will bring me to their shop to wrench on flying saucers ;) Aloha...Chuck

@ijustinw 8 лет назад

@ExaltedDuck 8 лет назад

ijustinw Any auto parts store or hardware store will have some. The simple $2-3 polycarbonate ones are fine as long as they're z87 rated. I wear safety glasses 40+ hours a week, and warped lenses really bother me so I got some nice ones by smith optics. I have a set at work, a set in my range bag, and the tinted sunglasses version for driving... I figured having the same set as sunglasses would help me secure the habit of always having them on in the lab at work.

First off, love your videos, I just finished a complete brake job on my old 2000 Taurus ses because of your brake video. Now, I was a Painter years ago, and I noticed something that would have helped your wheel look even better. After you finish primering, lightly sand with, say, 400? Grit. Wash, dry, then paint. You see, Primer, when you spray it, if you were able to look at it under a microscope from the side view, would have points sticking up. Go over it very lightly with sandpaper to just knock the points off, and your paint layer will be MUCH shinier. Without sanding, the points stick through the paint layer leaving a duller finish. Try it and compare. Thanks again for the great videos! Rabbit OUT!

I like seeing you post your results; did you end up finishing the other 3 wheels? How long did it take your first one, as compared to your last one?

@Ag_n_Mech 8 лет назад

Just make a mark on the tire where that wheel weight came off then put it back in the same place once you've painted underneath

@Yardoun 8 лет назад

+Quaderben Thankyou, at least someone gets it.

@BboyIllusi0n 8 лет назад

If youve ever changed tires before you have no idea how those weights are a fucking bitch to take off sometimes.. Besides once u paint them, the mark will be gone

@Yardoun 8 лет назад

BboyIllusi0n I'm a mechanic... lol. I change tires every day. They aren't hard to get back on, or take off. and I Guarentee if you went to a local shop they'd balance all the tires for around 30-40$ if you are really that paranoid.

@Realm-of-Horror 7 лет назад

I've always found that it is advisable to treat rusted areas with some sort of acid based rust converter, like jenolite, wash it off then apply a zinc based primer when it comes to painting over rusty spots, otherwise they rust through again. No matter how much sanding you did.

@patagualianmostly7437 7 лет назад

I think there is something in what you say: There is moisture trapped within the rusted metal that is totally un-dectable by the human eye..... And it will re-surface....despite the best barriers. Think it through: If they started to rust....it is because the moisture was there when the wheel (or whatever) was originally made....it was there when the item was originally painted..under stringently controlled conditions..... a DIY repair is temporary at best.

@Realm-of-Horror 7 лет назад

You also get rust because of paint chips, scuffs etc, allowing moisture to get into the metal. When painting over rust on panels, in addition to treating and zinc primer, keeping the top coat waxed has been a very effective way of keeping the rust back as it's another barrier against outside moisture.

@YeetxBoi 7 лет назад

or just dont use steel wheels hehe carbon fibre, magnesium, titanium, and aluminium are great alternatives.

@Realm-of-Horror 7 лет назад

Depends on what wheels came with the car of course. Up until a few years ago, steel wheels where common place on UK cars, but most seem to be alluminium these days

I tried painting my car wheels before watching this video..... What happens if I did put to much paint and it runs? Do I need to redo the entire wheel again? I can't seem to get the wheel to be evenly painted
