Another tip is to place the spray cans in warm water before spraying. You get a little more pressure and a little better atomization

Most DIY videos: "First, put your car up on your lift. Then roll over your toolbox with $40K worth of tools." This guy: "We're doing everything by hand!" I love it! Great video.

Trip report with some tips. First and foremost, a huge thank you to Brian and @Paint Society for the video, it REALLY helped my second whack at this go a jillion times better. Considering the number of newbies watching, here's some tips and tricks from a newbie that Brian didn't cover probably because he's old hat at this and it's just a given to him. 1. Buy all of your paint at one time from one place. If you have the option, look at the bottom of the cans and get matching lot numbers. QC seems a little loose over at Duplicolor and the color can vary widely from can to can. If you expect to need touch-ups down the road get a few extra. 2. I only used 2.5 cans of each to paint five 20" six-spoke F150 wheels. 3. I can't speak for any other colors but the Graphite is really gritty, the Sprayway wipe is a good idea between all of the base coats. 4. Avoid trying to paint the wheel upright, hard to see where you're getting good coverage. Laying down at an angle like the video shows worked best. I did mine with a light coat left to right, then a light coat up and down on each layer. 5. Don't make the first spray out of the can on the wheel, give a quick shot away to avoid spit/splatter. Wipe the tip often as suggested. 6. Get some slip on shoe covers. Overspray on the floor builds up quick and sticks to your shoes, then you forget and go walking thru the house leaving paint on your floor that's a SOB to get off. 7. Watch the video and take notes. What sandpaper did he use for that? How long between coats was that? Lots of steps and times in this video, handy to have them written down.

This was a great tutorial. Just did some Audi wheels yesterday. I didn’t use the exact same products, but your step by step was a perfect guide. They came out incredible! Thanks! 🤙🤙

Great job, not all of us have a $2000 AUD compressor and $750 AUD spray gun, and the tips you gave are brilliant.

This is the first video ive seen that specifies the amount of time you wait between paint and clear. And so many more new tips. Finally! Thank you!

Well done! With any paint project, prep is key. This video illustrates doing it the right way. Your newly painted rims are going on your coveted ride and taking shortcuts does not work. They are going to get a lot of abuse from the road, brake dust, repairs, etc and you want a quality durable finish. No point in doing it if you're gonna do it half-assed. Worth spending the time on the front end to get the results and longevity on the back end. Great video!!

Best tutorial I've seen. Straight to the point yet calm in delivery. Cheers,

Your knowledge, explanation, way of presenting everything is priceless. Thank you.

Perfect timing! I was getting ready to do this on my curb rashed alloy wheels

Your's is the "BEST" instruction on how to do wheels yourself Brilliant...Thanks

I never liked the dark gray color of my Honda Ridgeline rims, so I followed your instructions using Duplicolor silver paint over white primer and clear coated with the 2K clear coat. The tip about using the SprayAway glass cleaner to smooth the surface is genius. I am very pleased with the results. Many thanks!

Awesome video. I used to spray can computer cases for mods and a good tip to avoid gritty paint or stippling is to lay the can in some hot water to loosen up all the paint that does not get thoroughly mixed.

Thanks for the tip regarding how it isn’t necessary to use primer on spots that weren’t repaired. I have a nearly new set of aftermarket wheels in perfect condition that have a flat finish that I now realize that I hate, and I want to spray them in a gloss finish. It’s good to know that I can clean them, rough them up, and skip to base and clear coat.

The best tutorial I've watched on RU-vid. Simply awesome. Thank you.

Dude, you killed it! They look amazing! I think the most important part of the whole project is "patience"! If people follow the steps you showed - look out! America is going to get shinier! Great job! You just gave me the confidence to finish a job I've been putting off for a while! 2k clear, here we go! 👍👍

I did this a few years ago when I put 05 Acura TSX wheels on my 07 Accord. I followed almost the exact same process and it worked remarkably well. I had a couple of chips I had to go back and fix when the tires got remounted but other than that, they were great.

Just did the factory wheels on my Audi TT and they turned out Awesome! I followed your method to a tee and it's excellent! Thanks, Brian!

Just picked up some wheels from my local pick a part. This video was really well timed for me.

Asked for this a while back and you nailed it, thanks! Look forward to more videos!

Thank you for these videos. This channel is giving me the motivation & confidence to restore my rims sooner than later.

Man this guy gives free seminars on RU-vid. I'm planning on repairing my dad's w211 e200 after army. If the shipping to Greece isn't insane I'll buy a t-shirt of yours and tag you when I get it all done. You are a blessing thanks a ton

15:00 love the afterspray tricks.

As always you make it look easy. Amazing attention to detail with ultra professional results, even with a rattle can. Thank you sir for the encouraging and instructional footage. It is inspiring. Subscribed and smashed the like button without hesitation.

I am getting ready paint some wheels, and I've seen all the wheel painting videos on youtube. This is the best video on painting wheels yet. You should get some kind of award. excellent video

I've used a lot of the eastwood 2k aerospray cans. I think something to stress is the temperature needs to be as close to 70f as possible or higher and most importantly you need to shake the crap out of the can before and after you pierce the hardener. I had issues when I first started using the 2k aerospray paint because I wasn't shaking it well enough especially with the color paint, the primer isn't too bad. I want to say it's the cans with the white knozzles that really need that extra shaking and make sure the can is warm it doesn't need to be hot but just warm. I've easily used over 250 cans of that aerospray paint and I haven't had a single issue after I figured out the temperature is important not just with your project but the actual can needs to be warm it seems like common sense but it's something I make sure of everytime now and most importantly you have to shake the hell out of it like 3 minutes before and 3-4-5 minutes after piercing the hardener. I'm sure I go slightly overboard with the shaking but when I first started using it every single can clogged up because I wasn't shaking it enough I was doing 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after and that wasn't working well for me the cans clogged up not just the tips but the whole can. Like I said the primer is more forgiving I believe all the cans with the black knozzles are more forgiving. Then also the primer goes a lot further than the color like a lot further so get extra color. Otherwise I love that 2k aerospray stuff it's really good paint especially if you prep well and keep it at temperature while it dries, I use the chassis black on roll cages and bumpers and stuff on jeeps and it's very durable, surprisingly durable and very easy to use especially when you just have a single item to paint.

one of the best video I have seen in years quality info and what a finish thank you from the UK

Love this video! Have to tackle the curb rash on my 2010 Fit wheels and seeing those wheels in that color makes me kinda think about painting my stock wheels a different color, but I'll probably just keep them stock. Thank you and keep putting out these great vids! P.S. Killer music at the end! Made me smile from ear to ear!

Best tutorials on RU-vid hands down!

Great video. I'll be attempting this in the spring and this video gives me a much better instruction on doing it correctly by can.

I really appreciate this level of perfection and detail. But I think I could get 3/4 of the way there with about 1/4 of the perfectionism. You are an excellent teacher and a skillful painter.

This channel will go places, full package. Keep it up!

Great video as always and full of useful info like tips, drying time, etc! I wanted to know how much of each product you did use and I found that it is mentioned in the description! Keep up the good work!

Great work, thank you for showing it step by step. Great work!

Wow! Im speechless! With just canisterpaint! Wow!

Happen to stumble across this vid. Excellent, step, by, step to recolor rims! A project my son wants to do to his car with the exact same color. Thanks for this. I’m a subscriber!

Great video, really clear and very informative. Just what I need to sort my TT wheels out!

Dude thanks for this video. Looks like I’m gonna have a weekend project soon! 🤙🏼

Your videos are so helpful and so real. So much good information.

once again u show me some thing i was wanting to do and needed some professional advice & the right way to do it ,thank s great viedo

Can’t wait to fix my curb marks! Thanks for the tips!!!!

This is the absolute best in depth DIY paint your rims video on the internet

Good job man. Keeping these videos real, for average people. Well done!!! ☮️. 💡🤯🎯

Very nice, love the masking! I may have missed it but on the back of the Dupli-Color can it states, "for additional coats after one hour, wait seven days for the paint to cure." Because this is an enamel it needs to set. If you coat with the clear too soon it could mess up all of your work. I'd wait to do the clear coat. If you use a lacquer clear coat it will definitely mess up the enamel. Always check to make sure your product makeup matches it's just easier, especially after you spend hours prepping. It's 90% prep and 10% finish that makes the wheels look good.

Amazing results! Thanks for the video.

That looks good brother nice job and your getting there on your subscribers nice going God Bless and keep up the good work

UPLOAD ANOTHER VIDEO! lol. im patiently waiting! im not just meaning so i can learn more stuff, i actually enjoy watching you as a person! your an awesome guy! jumping on your channel to hear your voice and seeing your artwork is like coming home and eating a perfect steak infront of the fire! didnt mean for that to sound cringy but it sounded good in my head lol. love your videos though, you do amazing work and also make my day better! hope this motivates you! thanks mate :)

Thank you for all the info just did my wheels really happy with the outcome

Just bought an Acura TL with exact wheels. This vid will help me do the job. Thanks

I used this same method and had great results until my recent tire change over this winter. When the tech cleaned the inside of the wheel for mounting the weights the chemical (acetone??) ran down the front and wrinkled the clear coat. Just an FYI for anyone. Other than that, they cleaned really well and held up great until this happened.

Pretty cool, I was looking to paint my ITR wheels a gun metal color and throw them on my 1st Gen CR-V.. and to see these wheels done and go on a CR-V like mine was confirmation 🤟🏼🙌🏼

What did you do with the inside of the wheels? Wouldn’t they have a spiked overspray where the paint products landed while painting the face? This is a honest question.

Glad i ran into this video, i just bought the same cans for my rims

Those look like they just came out factory finish! Nice job and thanks for the education!

Great video! Very detailed! Thanks so much, Brian!

I’m just finishing my wheels, after almost one week sanding them (it’s was pretty beat up) I’ve primed them today, will leave drying overnight, tomorrow sand with 400 wet grit as you showed, paint and satin clear coat. It’s been a long process, but I’m an enthusiast, I believe we all are, it’s a pretty fun process actually, demands attention, patience and organization, but very rewarding, you save a lot $$$ buy doing it yourself.

Good video, bought set if alloy rims off junker for my camry. Coating peeling do did this repaint thing came out good. Now if you get curb rash and want to fix here is a tip. To fill gouges use jb weld as filler. Stays for ever and when hardened can be sanded lime metal then touch up paint.

Brian is the king of paint and technique.

Really Nice Job! Geez! Brand New! What a Skill!

Very well explained! This is the best DIY wheel paint video. Power to you!! Love from India :D

Great video! One of the best I've watched.

awesome job! loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the detail. this has to be thee best wheel back to life video. keep it up guys.

Wow, very nice result Brian. Dutch regards, Nico.

I just got a set of 20x9 wheels for my car for less than $100. Videos like this and a few others have helped me get the road rash repaired and they're primed up. Just waiting on a few cans of spray paint. For less than $150 I'll have a great looking set of wheels. 😃

Wow awesome video bro! They came out sweet dude keep up the great work!!

Thanks for the video. Ive got to lay down some clear and i think it will look very good

Bro!!! I'm going to paint the same set of rims! I'm more than hyped for it now after seeing your sick results!

Thank you for this great video! My wheels look bad. Now I can do something about them!

Great videos, very detailed. Nice work!

Love your stuff Brian, I've learned a lot and have built the confidence to take on more projects of my own. I would like to see a video on how to setup a air compressor for body work and painting.

Great Video as always!! Thank You Sir!!

Good quality at home paint video! Thanks

Got some old 13 inch Crager's out of a field, chrome still passable with a good polish but inside the rims was too corroded. The bead wouldn't set well, slow leak even with goop. I cleaned the inside with a wire wheel and used metallic bondo to smooth them out and primed and painted. Good for nearly two years now.

Nicely done amigo Looks superb!!!!

1st gen crv. Haven’t seen one of those in forever, the joy of living in the rust belt.

Wow I literally just refinished a set of TL wheels this past weekend

GREAT VIDEO. The wheels looks awsome.

You did a great job. This video inspired me to paint my own wheels. I jist watched it again for the second time I learned so much.i have now painted a total of 6 sets of wheels using these methodes ir similar methodes!

The chances this vid pops up :D After repainting my entire car, I have now moved on to the wheels :D Had some heavy scuffs and dents, So fillered, sanded, High build primered, and in middle of painting them Pearl Cadbury Purple :D

Beautiful work!!!

Great channel!! Very thoughtfully explained and for every level of equipment. Now I know what I have been doing wrong for many years! Could you do one on painting wheels with hyper silver?

Never over think!!! Love it 😍

Best method by Far. Thank you.

Thank you for teaching us.

Very nicely done I will follow exactly thanks for the lesson.....

Omg I just finished a set of 19" AMG wheels. Gave up trying to strip off the coatings with paint stripper so took them to get them acid dipped. Mirror finishing the spokes, masking then spraying with primer, base coat and lacquer. Time, effort and costs considered, I wish I'd got them done by a specialist. Although they looked great when done.

Pretty nice, am impressed

Absolutely stunning 😍

That was very educational Nice work

Bro, doing a set of wheels for older tundra, this vid makes it happen 😎keep em coming

Thanks. Really good video. Thinking of doing my tundra wheels. Two tone.

Wish I saw this video before spraying my oil filter housing performance blue IN MY KITCHEN!! the Mrs was not as impressed as I was 🤣

This is all well and good if on a budget or if you can't find a powdercoat shop. But if you absolutely have to have a more durable finish powdercoat is the way to go and you'll also have a larger array of colors and finishes to choose from.

@Paaint Society have you ever tried cutting a small hole in the bottom of a Hefty Flex garbage bag and stretching that over the wheel for painting? This will save you a lot of time and the flex draws it tight to the bead

This car would look cool with black rims😊 Good job on painting it.

This was an amazing and very informative video. Well done mate 💯

Nice job! Would love to see a video about restoring/painting faded black trim plastic on cars.

Good video eastwood 2k stuff is really good paint and easy to polish. I figured out a way to make sanding so much better with a sheet of paper. No folding needed just put duct tape on the back of it. Only flaw with it is you have to mark it with the grit with a pen otherwise youd have to guess. Remember dont overthink it, its just duct tape.😂Thank you for your knowledge and your awesome techniques.

PRICELESS, THANK YOU MAESTRO….
