I do the 60/40 Distilled Vinegar and water. Nylon or Bronze brissel brush for scrubbing. And then after drying. Add primer, then Black Rustoleom paint. And white marker for the Numbers and letters. I've restored weights and Barbells that I found. I donated some. And kept some. And sold some to buy new gym equipment.
His parting comments gave me an idea that I just have to share. If you are a stickler for the weight of your plates consider adding micro plates to get your weight where it should be. It is what I plan to do. I know this isn't the best idea anyone has ever had AND you can only know of you are short if you weigh every single plate but I am trying, I am trying to help my fellow man(or woman). Cheers.🙃
@@callmejay8565yeah unfortunately they can get away with it, since they could claim they're the exact weight at time of sale. But over time, due to the metal, it will change. You can get properly calibrated plates, but they got a heck of a lot. The variance usually isn't a lot. But psychologically, it's off putting
Defo gonna be doing this to mine this summer. I'll be coming back to this video prior to spraying lol. My weights would look immense. Keep up the great content 👍
Wild you just posted this. I am literally in the process of doing my plates based on your short but just leaving it as black and white instead of a color gradient to go with my black and white REP PR 5000. Didn't think of adding a cerakote finish. Thanks for the great idea!
How have these held up? Are you noticing any chipping on the interior part of the plates (specifically the portion of the plate that doesn't stick out as far)? I'm considering something similar, and I wonder how well it'll last if I mask off the parts of the plate that aren't regularly making contact with other things. I could still see them getting chipped if smaller plates are directly adjacent to them, but it *seems* like it might work.
Heck yeah. You can really do any color combination with this method. I’d probably do red and blue as the base color, drizzle the dish soap and do white as the top layer. It would look bad ass
Love how these look! Bright plates > any other types. Off topic, but any ideas on how to repaint things that deal with a lot of friction like plate loaded lat pulldown weight pegs? Mine are looking pretty rough atm and I’m not sure what type of paint to use.
If you like the ultimate warrior don’t go back and watch his old matches as an adult, don’t ask other wrestlers or wrestling fans about him, and NEVER watch bios or fox’s about him lol.
