I head to Union Rim with John to restore my beat-up, scratched, and damaged Lexus IS350 wheels with a new and beautiful PVD Black Chrome finish. We take you step by step from the sandblasting, prepping, powder coating, and PVD coating process. With 1 base layer of black powder coat, the PVD chrome layer, and another layer of clear coat, these wheels are not just going to look beautiful, but a PVD finish will give it even greater wear resistance compared to a traditional chrome finish.
Traditional chrome plating involves exposing parts to chromium baths that contain chromium trioxide (hex-chrome) and sulfuric acid. Unfortunately, hexavalent chromium and concentrated acids are toxic, and therefore highly regulated to protect worker safety and the environment. To avoid environmental impact, improve worker safety, and reduce costs, manufacturers are looking for alternatives. That’s where physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings come in. The PVD process can provide a simple, reliable coating alternative that is by its nature beautiful, durable, and safe.
I want to give a big thanks to John from Union Rim, if you are in the Greater Toronto Area, check him out!

I can't wait to show you all how these rims look on the Lexus! I want to give a big shoutout to John and his team from Union Rim on another spectacular job done with these wheels!

@carswithsonduren 2 года назад

800 to 1000 CAD $ for all four wheels

@clarkkent4991 Год назад

I have a 2017 F150 truck. My OEM PVD wheels are peeling AGAIN. I wonder if the process that Ford is using is different from what was shown in the video. The issue that I am hearing is that the coating peels and chips when applying tires to the wheel itself and more often when removing the tire from the wheel. Ford knows about this issue and a lot of people are having that issue. It’s more common when you have larger size tires mounted. Now that being said the size of the tire shouldn’t cause that issue if the wheel was durable enough like most are. Any thoughts on this issue? Thanks.

@garfieldanderson4539 3 года назад

I just dropped off my 20 inch wheel rims at Union Rim to be powder coated PVD Black Chrome finished. I did not know the full entire process that was involved until this video popped up on my recommended list. I can't wait to see the final results of my rims. After watching this video, I am sure I will be completely satisfied.

I have those exact wheels on my Lexus and just got two small stone chips. A wheel repair company near me said they CAN NOT be touched up. Explained the process and said there is no one near me that has the EXPENSIVE equipment that is needed to create these wheels. Having watched this video gives me a full understanding of what he was saying. I guess I will just hide them with touch up paint. 😢

@clarkkent4991 Год назад

Wow!!!! I love the care and time that you put into the process. Thanks for sharing. I have a issue that maybe you can help me with. I own a 2017 Ford F-150 truck. I bought it new from the factory. You probably know where I’m going. So my “wheels “are delaminating. From what I understand there is an issue with the process that Ford is using to produce these wheels. I LOVE the look of the wheels but they are delaminating. I don’t use harsh chemicals or acid based products. Mostly soap and water since they are so easy to clean. Mine has the regular chrome look. Not black chrome. The rim is a 20 inch rim. The tires that I run are Toyo Open Country 35x12.5 20. I was told that when tires of that size are added to the wheel the bead seals and when the tire is removed later to break the bead the finish comes away with it causing the delaminating issue. Is there a way to possibly spray the inside of the rim to keep that from happening? I really need your help. Thank you in advance. I hear a lot of people are having this issue. 🏆

@DWBJosh 2 года назад

Black chrome was always my favorite color on rims until I saw Transparent Copper. Not sure why it’s called Transparent lol but that’s what it’s called. A friend of mine does Powder Coating as well and he done his Mercedes Wagon that is a hunter green looking color and put the copper wheels on it and the thing looks freaking amazing!!

@kevinlyusa 3 года назад

What is the different between powder coating, and PVD coating?

@smoke05s Год назад

Powder coating is a non metallic finish, the part is cleaned and electrified so when the powder is sprayed it is attracted to the part. It goes on evenly and is dry (so it does not run like paint.) Then Its put in an oven and the coating melts / cures and very evenly wets and levels for a nice smooth finish that is more rugged than paint. PVD is a process where you can apply metal onto a non metallic surface (similar to plating). We used it in the defense industry for years (my experience is applying Aluminum on epoxy plastic). For PVD just put the prepped part in, the air is removed from the chamber to get the oxygen out (or else the metal will rust before it makes it to the part).. It sounds like they then add some Argon gas but for the most part it is still a vacuum in there (or the door would fly open). There is an electric arc generated which generates the metallic vapor and it is attracted to the part very evenly and it can go on very thin depending on what sacrificial metal the arc is generated on.. In this video if I understood correctly that sacrificial metal is that center rod which was chromium. When they took it out it looked just like regular chrome to me. That top tinted clear coat is where the magic happened. . . . Now I wonder what would happen if you just put that final tint over normal chrome? PVD looks to be a way cleaner process than chrome plating IMHO.

@jimjones4362 2 года назад

I did a photoshoot for PVD black chrome in 2010 for Pacific Rims. They suppose to have a patent on it, lol. This was the hardest thing I ever shot. I finally figured out that the reflection in the wheel gives it the punch. The following ad I did for them had a woman in a bikini angled next to the wheel.

@LilKing420s 3 года назад

@9:50 You can't open that door because the machine has removed the air from inside to create a near vacuum (think outer space) within itself. It's not sucking the door shut, it's actually the weight of the atmosphere outside the machine, usually around 14.7 psi, give or take, that prevents opening the machine's door. It's a critically important law of physics to know. Thanks for sharing this video!

@61spindrift Год назад

@LilKing420s. Normally, I would comment with "oh your that type of person that throws something sarcastic out there". Truth be told, your right...14.7 PSI and something that is "critically important law of physics to know". Another truth be told? I don't believe they teach that in our schools like they did in the old days. Shame.

I have some questions. I’m wanting to learn how to do this. I want to add this to my resume. I’ve see so many videos and all of them are diff. I’ve seen a couple that stripped the object of its color then clean it then started the spray afterwards oven then they were done.. I’m just working out of home right now until GOD blesses me with a small shop.. but I’m confused I see your stuff of course is top of the line.. but for me especially if I’m doing rims do I treat everything like I’m really gonna paint. Prep,sand,base coat,sand, paint etc . Or no. I’ve seen some so called racers want there rim done like this it has no color to it other then the basic steel look.. then othered that have colored rims or chrome rims.. I just need basic fundamentals and/or direction to start my journey, and help or advice I’d greatly appreciate it and would not be forgotten.. I’m an artist and to me this it by all means ART ‘..
