11 hours! ... now figure out how much you paid... "yourself" / hr... minimum wages at a fast-food (burger flipper or cashier) job, down at Mikey D's, Jack in the box or KFC will give you something to compare against... plus cost of paint, supplies, sandpaper, will tell you if it was worth it. Add in the benefit of personal satisfaction - of knowing that the job was done right - 'cause you did it yourself (nothing beats the pride of workmanship you get when you do-it-yourself). Oh... no taxes either! I usually pay myself minimum wage of $50/hr. You saved about $500 - $600 cash! verses sitting on your ass watching music videos or texting your loser friends watching "porn' in the basement 'apartment' at home.

@H_de_Weert 8 месяцев назад

To anyone trying this: I achieved the best effect with three sanding steps in stead of two. I first sanded and painted two wheels and then did the other two the next day. The first two I sanded with 100 grid and then 400 grid. After painting and drying, they turned out rather matte and a kind of icy silver and feel rough. I decided to put way more effort in sanding the next two wheels. I used 100 grid, 240 grid and then 400 grid, and spend just more time sanding generally this time and really made sure everything was nice and smooth. These two wheels turned out beautifully shiny, a more metallic silver and they are smooth to the touch. Thank you Chrisfix for this great video! Learned a lot from it, and learned a lot from my own process too. Biggest lesson: you can not be sloppy on the prepwork - it is the most important part. Don't think you will simply cover and hide imperfections with the layers of paint. No, the paint will only accentuate any imperfections you leave!

@H_de_Weert 8 месяцев назад

Also, I used my multi tool on the hard to reach places. This was a big mistake! The steel wire brush carved deep into the original layers of paint. IF you use a multi tool, you will have to strip the full wheel of all it's paint completely, to bare metal. You can't leave a single spot of paint. I used the multi tool on spots that were hard to sand by hand, but it turned out nigh impossible to make those spots smoothly transition into the hand-sanded parts. You will see bumps and gouges.

Just a word of warning, I work at a place put tires on rims, don't try to build up too much of that bondo on the lip of the rim. Especially if you intend on using lower profile tires, sometimes the bar we use to lift the bead off the rim can require some pressure and I wouldn't doubt that it could crack some off if you try to rebuild too much of the lip. Some shops may have different, more precise tools, but just thought I'd put it out there is all.

@danc1197 5 лет назад

Why not just flip the rim so the inside is facing up? The tire only goes in from one side or the other so why scratch the finished side when you can scrape the side nobody sees.

I found your channel maybe a week ago and I just wanted to say thank you. I've learned so much it isn't even funny. I'm a woodworker and I wanted to pass something on to you that might help you save some money as well. I use a sandpaper called Abranet by Mirka. It costs a bit more than your average pack of sand paper, but its a mesh, so it rarely clogs and cleans very easy. It has saved me hundreds since I switched. I went from using half a pack per project to using only one abranet disk per three of four projects (They come 5 disks per pack, it comes in rolls and standard rectangles too). I've had to use them on steel and aluminum before and work great. Thanks again for your hard work, it is very much appreciated.

Also if you don’t let’s the lug nut holes cure you may have to keep checking them after every drive for loose

@victorjbarker Год назад

Nonsense. If painted evenly the shim distance would be identical to the machined surface. Also, rattle can paint is extremely thin once the solvents flash off. The paint is typically only 0.005" in thickness which is roughly the thickness of human hair or a sheet of paper. Plus the torque generated by lug nuts threads will be in the thousands of pounds per square inch on the wheel face which will squish the fresh paint evenly. I own a Metrology and calibration laboratory where we calibrate torque wrench's, coating thickness gages, gage blocks to the millionths of an inch, etc. and measure automotive aerospace and medical parts daily on robotic Coordinate Measuring Machines. Ive been in hundreds of manufacturing facilities of all kinds and seen many processes. The thickness of rattle can paint does not surpass the dimensional runout tolerance of OEM and aftermarket wheels, let alone the machining tolerances of brake rotors and drums that they are mounted too. There is way more runout on those parts than you would ever get with a layer or 2 of rattle can spray paint.

Chris, thanks for this video. Restoring a set of BMW 3-series wheels following your procedure. About 6 hours in, and I'm ready to prime. (They were very, very dirty and had severe curb rash.) Will be priming and sanding today.

Not gonna lie I learned a lot watching your videos . I love how detailed you are when teaching is how to repair and swap parts

@edwardarakelian8315 3 года назад

Chris, I've been watching heaps of your videos and I love them. They are pretty good videos but the more important thing is, I love the way you take care of your parents. I've got my wife's BMW today and want to try to fix the rims. we can get the same products you use here in Australia but I will post some photos of the finished rims. Keep up, you are doing a great job.

This gives me hope man. I just bought myself an Infiniti M37XS and the sport wheels on it are hard to find. Unfortunately the previous owner really best them up but after watch this I feel like I am fully capable of fixing and repainting the wheels back to factory paint! Thanks so much dude. First step, take them to a repair shop to get bent back to shape

Great job! Thank you for the clear instructions and tutorial with all the tips! Appreciate showing the names of the products too!

I think if anyone saves money off your tips they should pay you a donation of at least $5 and up. it's freaking worth it. make it so Chris, put a donate button somewhere if RU-vid doesn't let you then do like other places and use some of the funding places and put a link to it, I am ready to give, you saved me a lot.

Sensational, comprehensive and engaging video, I'm looking at a cheap set of mag-alloy wheels, with some serious curb rash, have looked at 3 videos on repairing and painting, with this video being the best by far.

@cybermonk2646 2 года назад

Just bought a set of wheels for $250 with good tires cause of the curb rash. I'm about to start cleaning them up this week. Thanks bro, I remembered this video from YEARS ago and got the second dose of inspiration I needed to dive in.

Hey Chris, your awesome thanks for all your knowledge about fixing vehicle and repairing damaged parts...👍👍👍👍🚗👍

@deganni2688 4 года назад

i am so impressed with the outcome. although you make it seem pretty simple, i'm sure it was a lot of work, but it certainly shows. well done!

@cometcal2 3 года назад

For a wheel, I would take some shortcuts. However, it's always best to see how a thorough procedure is done to fix something first in order to understand each step's purpose.

@hiiambarney4489 2 года назад

@@cometcal2 Not sure if I would take shortcuts for wheels, because they are the most prone to wear. You def. want the coatings to be stable and clean.

Great Video! I used your technique on some cheap alloys and made them look like new! (Practicing on a junk rim). That was around 4 years ago and only now are the wheels finish getting old. 👍👍

@christianpickett7950 2 года назад

This was a extremely good video from a "learning how to" stand point. One of the best on the Web i have seen. Following these well thought out steps gives me the confidence that i could do a pretty solid job, so Thank you for the amazing video. The one thing i would say, is that i thought the wheels that were on the jag at beginning of video were a sharper design (taking absolutely nothing away from the amazing work you did on the OEM rims you grabbed and transformed)
