@The_journeyy Месяц назад

You either used a cheap quality clearcoat not the proper 2k or you didn't put on three decent coats

@sdaafasfad 3 года назад

Lovely job on this bro. Do you mind if I ask why you didn't take the wheel off the car before painting though? You wouldn't have had to mask everything up (ie the wing) and would have got more of a thorough job. Also - a tip for you, if you're leaving the tyre on, use a deck of playing cards between the tyre and the wheel to mask off the tyre, that way you're not using tons of masking tape. You can also use clingfilm around the tyre where you used masking tape too if you take the wheel off. But all in all, lovely job, specially considering you didn't take the wheels off!

@The_journeyy 3 года назад

I don't have axle stands or a trolley jack which I imagine most people who are trying this for their first time wouldn't either. The card method a lot of RU-vidrs on here suggest isn't a very good trick and is unreliable I tried it in my first wheel refurb video and I wouldn't recommend it personally. Thanks for the feedback hope your keeping safe and are well 😊

Its all good mate I appreciate the feedback, the paint for the Benz is all good because I took minor steps like covering the said areas that were near the spray paint areas I had no issues not to mention I did the job on a day with next to no wind speed. Fortunately the wheels are not my first paint job. For someone who's worried about overspray and new to painting I'd make sure to cover the car more when doing the job or possibly just getting a plastic spray paint cover and then exposing the areas that need painting hope your well

Great video! Just wanted to ask how long does the gloss last? Also, if you were to wash your car at a car wash would the gloss get washed away? I used plasti dip on the previous car that I owned and didn’t like how matte it looked. So I want to do a method like this that’ll give me a nice gloss.

@The_journeyy 2 года назад

Thanks Derick, It lasts as long as a good paint job does the process is the same as bodyshops use on car panels Even if you were to use subpar gloss paint as long as you used a good 2k clear you'd still get a good gloss if you use good quality products then the results are even better my wheels still have the same gloss as the day they were painted Plasti dip is definitely not the one I've heard nothing good about it 😁

@somebodyoncetoldme6557 3 года назад

I would assume removing the wheel would be easier to paint it?

@The_journeyy 3 года назад

That's all based on opinion I'd say, personally I'd say its only easier if the wheels are already not on the car and nothing has to be done to the car to get them off If they're on the car then probably not, wheels will need to come off, car will need to be lifted and put on axle stands etc and the whole process for the wheels will need to be done 😊 I've bought a spare set for my VW which I'm painting when they arrive soon that will be easier because I won't have to do anything to the car only take the old ones off and put the new ones on once the job is complete 😁

Is it alright to wash your vehicle after spray painting your rims? Will the paint peel or leak off

@The_journeyy Год назад

The advice goes "To best protect your car's new paint job, it's safe to avoid waxing for a few months. The ingredients in car wax could damage the paint if it is not 100% dry and settled. Experts recommend waiting 60-90 days before having your car waxed after a paint refresh". When it comes to cleaning them I wouldn't do it on the same day you've completed the job however you can wash them by hand with warm soapy water no without an issue. When it comes to Jetwashing I would stay away from that for the first 60-90 days as it doesn't matter how good the products you've used are if the paint isn't cured and you rush to jet wash it will destroy the paint. Once the paint is cured fully you can then have at it without any reservations

Hi, if I was to simply apply the spray paint without primer would it not stay? Ordered the coloured spray paint and now have just seen your video using primer and a top coat. Thanks for the help!

@The_journeyy 2 года назад

Hey Amy, it is possible that you could prep the area you want to paint by sanding it and then put your coloured spray paint on without the primer sometimes it does still bond together but most of the time it refuses and you get bubbles and the paint refuses to stick on and peels it's a 50/50 😊, Personally I'd do it the right way and put your primer on and allow each layer to dry and then coloured spray paint and then apply your clear and you'll find that it becomes 100% more likely to work without issues and your paint will bond and last a long time hope that helps 😁

It took me like half a day but as you can see in the video I did mine outside it depends what your environment is like where your working could be more or less 😊

@mertzyno1982 Год назад

Great vid man will be doing mine soon. Would 2x500ml cans of 2k clear be enough for 4 wheels?

@The_journeyy Год назад

Thank you and it all depends on the size of your wheels when I did my VW wheels I did front and back with 2 cans of Proxl

@brianwiseman9518 2 года назад

question to anyone giving input...assuming I sand very well (220 then 400 grit) and clean well and dry...I bought duplicolor green can self etching primer and duplicolor high performance wheel coating gloss black. Do these work together? IF I do a clear coat...do I ... #1. apply the duplicolor clear or go for the 2k (harder more durable)? I read that 2K should only be used for certain paints. #2. should I apply clear coat when still tacky 40-45 min after last paint coat or wait 3 or 4 hours

@The_journeyy 2 года назад

That's a really good question, I can only answer part of that but my suggestion would be to ask the people in the autobody shop if the 2k clear you got will work with your paints it should but good to double check The two duplicolours should work I'd think since they're from the same brand I'd think they'd be compatible #1 I'd check if the 2k is compatible as it will give you better results on the finish and strength 2# Some say you should throw the clear on after 40-45 minutes when its still tacky I used to do mine after an 1 hour but now I mix it up sometimes 45 mins sometimes 1 hour I've tried both and they work perfectly. Sorry I couldn't help more with the questions 😊

Consider taking off the wheels before spray painting much better idea in case of accidental spray onto body of car…

@The_journeyy 3 года назад

Considered 😊

Previous owner of my corsa painted over factory silver with black. Blacks flaking off. Would be a shitty sanding job. What paint stripped would you use to get it off asap to prep like this?

@The_journeyy 2 года назад

I've not tried any paint strippers yet to be honest I would just get the DA on it and work up from 80 grit sandpaper to 600 grit that will do the job barring that they should have some paint stripper in Halfords

@BlackGandhiX 3 года назад

I’ve seen a bunch of DIY on how to paint the rims, some people sand before the primer but I see you did it after does it make a difference?

@The_journeyy 3 года назад

I sanded the rims before to get them prepped and ready for paint, then did the primer coats, once I had put the 3 coats of etching primer on and left it to cure and dry I sanded it very lightly with 800 grit paper just to smooth it out as typically the primer will be rough after the third coat. I've found if this step is not done when you finish the whole process your paint job won't be glossy and will be Matt black I learned that the hard hope that helps 😀

How do you properly sand car rims? Do u just rub them on each line (idk what its called) for a few mins?

I'd say just the same as you sand any panel, the aim is to get the surface dull and no longer shiny I would sand them for a good few minutes have a look at the current wheel video I did might help answer your question
