What a chore....dont do it...lol. Enjoy.

@Kevintherubiconjeep 3 года назад

Damn thats a lot of work. Not familiar with chrome plating removal but media blasting wont take it off?

@MarkK01 Год назад

Can't you sandblaster the chrome off? It probably would have been cheaper for the dealership to supply its customer with new wheels. I really hope you charged the dealership for your time and materials instead of cutting them a break.

@nikkothegreat7839 10 месяцев назад

It's tough to blast off plus the chrome holds electricity so the blaster will be getting shocked lol

@jooshallen895 3 года назад

A local custom chrome plater will likely be able to chemically strip (Nitric acid) the copper/nickel/chrome leaving only the aluminum substrate. If they aren’t equipped, they should have a connection to a biz that is. It’ll be $65-125/wheel. I have a custom chrome plating shop and we do powder coating as well.

@RightNowPowderCoating 3 года назад

No local shops in iowa

@jooshallen895 2 года назад

So I got a set of wheels in for chrome strip/PVD coat that looked familiar; they are identical to this set! Same nasty corrosion too. Is it possible the same set of wheels ended up at a Chrome Plater in Indiana? They are bare aluminum now and need a lot of metal finishing work to look decent before recoating with anything

@70ixlr86 2 месяца назад

Bravo! Thanks for continuing the trade. To those that say they have no platers locally, seriously, try finding a plater in Alaska.

@ShanPrez Год назад

That’s a lot of work you put into these wheels! Looks great!!

@UltralydvaskingLillehammer Год назад

wow i am amazed how much time you have put into these rims, lots of dedication . I have a shop in lillehammer Norway where we do a lot of vapour blasting, ultrasonic cleaning and Cerakote on engine parts . we stopped with peeling chrome too , if you try to wet or dry blast it will not give good results, the chrome is much harder than the alu or cast iron underground , this results in that you blast away the (softer) rim material next to the chrome , which results in a moon landscape

@juliopr9079 Год назад

Nice video. Now, I have a better idea of how to deal with Chrome. Thanks again for your time! 🔥🔥

@Ma77riK 2 месяца назад

ive been considering the dustless blasting system for a while now, this right here only solidifies that decision, watched a guy go through the chrome and nickel layer in seconds in an area the side of you hand

@trwelds6770 3 года назад

Try a 3m scotch-brite clean&strip xt pro disc on the grinder. works well on the chrome peeling.

@dennywood3347 3 года назад

Hey you said it run when people bring theses things to you.iv been powder coating since 1993 and Crome in a no no. How ever I do coat it with the under standing that I will not guarantee it. Great job but folks won’t pay for all the work you have done to get them right. I really enjoy your videos keep them coming and God Bless

@stevenbarefoot3976 8 месяцев назад

What about Harley parts because you know they want their chrome blacked out lol powder coated a lot of Harley engine covers with no warranty

@cuzz63 2 года назад

Hey, love the video. Came hear looking for a solution. I have brand new chrome billet rims that I want to color match the area on the side of the spokes. What do you suggest?

@417plasma6 2 года назад

should dustless blasting take care of that ? I seen videos on how it tears apart the wheel down to bare metal..as iv'e done wheels and have to sand down areas of course, but with less stress or less cost for you....so what was the total hours and cost for the wheels ?

@Dr_Xyzt 2 года назад

I watched both videos. Brutal. I just recently got into powdercoat. I had no idea that powdercoat chrome looked as real as it does for such a good price. It makes life easier. I've done metallurgical samples since 2009. A good reflective metal finish takes a lot of work. Sure, powdercoat isn't EXACTLY like chrome, but sometimes, good enough really is good enough, with way less work and expense.

@bobbyz7736 Год назад

Almost need to deplate them, chrome is extremely hard, and very hard to grind off.

@bobbyz7736 Год назад

Wow, tons of labor on those.

@jayn391 Год назад

I have a GT bicycle that is chrome peeling, im going to try n do the same. Grind it than sand blast it.

@cantwaitkid 3 года назад

I have been working on a set of steel wheels for a while, between working and doing favors and a few side jobs. With that said; They have the " new" right out of the box, flat powdercoat, cleaned, then superchrome powder, then transparent blue on top. Im starting to develope issues with static adhesion of the powder. Its leaving patterns of my wiping cloth and naptha solvent. Is there something I should be doing to neutralize the wheel. I feel like Im creating static patterns when I wipe the wheel clean. Whats happening? Have you ever had problems with airbrushing or painting then clear powdercoating over top?

@drewhunkins7192 2 года назад

I've never had chrome rims and I'm thinking of getting some. Will they just peel and look like garbage within a yr or two? I have no idea what to expect. Thoughts?

@omalleycustomcoatingsjimmi4839 3 года назад

Daaaaamn. Lotta work man.

@johnblanton9969 3 года назад

What primer are you using when you are hot flocking? Is that a zinc rich primer?

@robbieharris9339 Год назад

After sand blasting do i need to powder my rims with primer first or can i just powder them. Sand blasting will leave them rough

@jaybee1158 2 года назад

So I’m new to wanting to learn all this to add to my resume if you will.. other then just plain steel rims that have no color to them. Other then cleaning them do I have to prep it as well like if I’m really gonna paint .. or do I do that if there’s already paint on them? Or should I just think of powder coating literally like I’m really painting.. that no matter what I have to prep, sand,paint,sand then paint again.? I just want to be clear bcuz I’ve seen so many videos and there’s not 1 way there doing it .. a couple I’ve seen them stripping paint off of what and/or cleaning the parts then just spraying, oven and then that’s it…

@Rojofabio34 3 года назад

How much do people usually charge to paint wheels chrome

@thejeffersonwayne 2 года назад

Crazy thing is, you can probably find the rims without the chrome and saved yourself hours of time and your customer tons of cash. They look like a stock 6 lug domestic rim.

@hunterhoel6596 Год назад

where can i find the primer you guys used?

@user-uk5zg5sr6b 3 месяца назад

Tbh ive shotblasted zink powder primed then top coated never had an issue yeah you cant get all the plating off underneath but a nib over before zink primer worked for me nice job tho

@70ixlr86 2 месяца назад

Sad a chroming shop didn't see the rims before them coming to you. A plating shop would completely strip the failing coating. You should have gotten back raw castings. The epa doesn't like vats of acid in any environment, even trained regulated ones. So they leave mild acids and grinders to spread it all over the place.

@Ollywood00 2 года назад

How did you strip the nickel off?

@vitogironda8483 2 года назад

I just bought.new rims for I just bought a set of new rims for my motorcycle, I want to power coat the old set. Will sandblasting be enough to prepare them ? Or what I'm I looking for?

@RightNowPowderCoating 2 года назад

Clean them well, blast, tape coat

@MegaRickw 3 года назад

you are soo right,RUN,lol

@MindsDozer 2 года назад

Noob here, but why not start with the sandblasting before the angle grinder?

@harrypehkonen 3 года назад

Me, thinking: I would try sandblasting. Next scene: After sandblasting...

@overbuiltautomotive1299 Год назад

yea electro plating in reverse be fastest way but unless you do it much why have striping tank

@OLDtuberadioguy 3 года назад

Ridiculous number of wheels on the road today that look just like this…or worse!

@bodeine454 Год назад

When you are hot flocking are the parts still hooked up to ground and the powder electrically attracted to the wheels or are you relying solely on the heat?

@RightNowPowderCoating Год назад

Always a good idea to have ground connected, it creates a safer powder coating environment. Power would be attracted to the part due to the ground but extra powder sticks from heat. So it builds up faster.

@bodeine454 Год назад

@@RightNowPowderCoating Good info, thank you!

Just did some 24's with the same problem.

@JohnOMalley-yg7mn 2 месяца назад

Could have gone to Town Fair Tire and got some cheap rims and save a ton of bs.

@jodyreichenbach1223 2 года назад

Acid dip 30% acid to distilled water takes the chrome off. Sand blast and powder coat. Dip a few hours. I do this process on my zinc plating works awesome. I’ve scuffed sanded and sandblasted just like you. Two years it’s coming off. But I guess after it’s sold who cares right???

@RightNowPowderCoating 2 года назад

Interesting.....what acid base are you using?

@jasonacheson8167 2 года назад

Car dealer could’ve just bought some new (non American OEM / China bought) wheels cheaper than paying for all that work.

Trust me when I say we recommended that!

Chrome can get under the skin and keep moving. Why Snap-on will replace any flaking tools.

They still are. People just like the look of a well cared for truck now, much more that a well used one.

Chrome wheels should ONLY be seen on a Hotwheels. They look effin horrendous on real cars. Imwill ad...I love those A.R.E style rims.

@DUMPBOXUS Год назад

Those wheels couldn’t possibly have been worth all of the labor. What brand were those?

@0147hel 3 года назад

Don't run from Chrome it aint that bad I do them all the time send them out to the Chrome shop to have them strip down to bear metal Then off gas Them And powdercoat Done deal Not that hard
