damn nice job! love the crv too, clean! is it forsale? :D
I have question I have white wheels and I’m trying to change the colors to gunmetal color does the process the same as the video
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.
Well said!
@@PaintSocietySo if I don’t want that glossy look ( I’m looking for that factory aluminum look) leave out the gloss then? Also, do I need to do the tac rag regardless? Great video! Thank you kindly!
@@OdditiesOffcial if you haven't done the job already, maybe use a matte clear coat instead of a gloss coat. Clear coating after spray painting will make the job last a lot longer and look better
@@ew-s Thanks so much!
He used a pressure washer! But he said no power tools. LIES!!! Lol
Another tip is to place the spray cans in warm water before spraying. You get a little more pressure and a little better atomization
Just make sure the cans are super dry afterwards. I dripped water on a paint job once using this method.

Make that hot water. Warm water will cool off faster, therefore not enough time to work with.
This is the absolute best in depth DIY paint your rims video on the internet
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! 🤙🤙
Awesome !!!
that would cost as much a brand new rims guys
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.
You can remove the paint with acetone very easily.
Great job, not all of us have a $2000 AUD compressor and $750 AUD spray gun, and the tips you gave are brilliant.
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,
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!
It's usually 15 mins between coats
Made the mistake of over coating it as well
2 coats max because the paint will gunk up if it's too much. Anyways good luck on any future projects
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
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!
Your's is the "BEST" instruction on how to do wheels yourself Brilliant...Thanks
This car would look cool with black rims😊 Good job on painting it.
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!
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.
Man this guy gives free seminars on KZhead. 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
Thank you for these videos. This channel is giving me the motivation & confidence to restore my rims sooner than later.
Just picked up some wheels from my local pick a part. This video was really well timed for me.
Best tutorials on KZhead hands down!
The best tutorial I've watched on KZhead. Simply awesome. Thank you.
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!
Asked for this a while back and you nailed it, thanks! Look forward to more videos!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
15:00 love the afterspray tricks.
Great video, really clear and very informative. Just what I need to sort my TT wheels out!
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
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! 👍👍
Fantastic real world tips, I would be more than happy with that finish even from a paint shop. Thanks guys.
Dude thanks for this video. Looks like I’m gonna have a weekend project soon! 🤙🏼
This channel will go places, full package. Keep it up!
one of the best video I have seen in years quality info and what a finish thank you from the UK
Check out "ChrisFix" his video is very detailed as well
Great work, thank you for showing it step by step. Great 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?
Can’t wait to fix my curb marks! Thanks for the tips!!!!
Great video! Very detailed! Thanks so much, Brian!
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 🤟🏼🙌🏼
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 :)
Your videos are so helpful and so real. So much good information.
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!
Thank you for all the info just did my wheels really happy with the outcome
Glad i ran into this video, i just bought the same cans for my rims
Wow awesome video bro! They came out sweet dude keep up the great work!!
Wow! Im speechless! With just canisterpaint! Wow!
@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
How would this work exactly?
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.
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.
Those look like they just came out factory finish! Nice job and thanks for the education!
Very well explained! This is the best DIY wheel paint video. Power to you!! Love from India :D
Good job man. Keeping these videos real, for average people. Well done!!! ☮️. 💡🤯🎯
That looks good brother nice job and your getting there on your subscribers nice going God Bless and keep up the good work
Just bought an Acura TL with exact wheels. This vid will help me do the job. Thanks
awesome job! loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the detail. this has to be thee best wheel back to life video. keep it up guys.
Amazing results! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this great video! My wheels look bad. Now I can do something about them!
Thanks for the video. Ive got to lay down some clear and i think it will look very good
Bro, doing a set of wheels for older tundra, this vid makes it happen 😎keep em coming
Amazing tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to cover each and every step in detail. Also the tips about products was helpful because there are so many out there. Going to attempt to spray some brand new silver wheels and make them black. Any special considerations for painting wheels with a very complex and intricate pattern?
Wow I literally just refinished a set of TL wheels this past weekend
Great videos, very detailed. Nice work!
Really Nice Job! Geez! Brand New! What a Skill!
Brian is the king of paint and technique.
Nice job! Would love to see a video about restoring/painting faded black trim plastic on cars.
PRICELESS, THANK YOU MAESTRO….
Great video! One of the best I've watched.
Bro!!! I'm going to paint the same set of rims! I'm more than hyped for it now after seeing your sick results!
How'd it go
Where did u get these rims? Are they cheap?
Nicely done amigo Looks superb!!!!
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!
Magnificent! Such a brilliant idea... your diy parking sensor!!!! I caught it at the end... but I also like how you set up a mock booth. Did you bother wetting the floors for dust? I guess the cans don't provide enough psi to disturb the dust. Great job on the wheels BTW, I'm thinking of doing mine next summer.
Wow, very nice result Brian. Dutch regards, Nico.
Great Video as always!! Thank You Sir!!
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.
Isn’t this the same as paying someone to do it for you? I added the products in the description and total it and it comes to $300-400 give or take. Clear: $33x3 Primer: $33x2 Pre paint prep: $15x1 Paint: $13x4 Total: $232 plus the other added products. Isn’t better to pay someone to do it when they are charging $50 a wheel?
@@dxdvilla7650they’re cutting cost somehow if they’re only charging $50 a wheel
Beautiful work!!!
Very nicely done I will follow exactly thanks for the lesson.....
This was an amazing and very informative video. Well done mate 💯
Good quality at home paint video! Thanks
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.
Thanks. Really good video. Thinking of doing my tundra wheels. Two tone.
Really nice video, I’ll try to do it in my elantra summer wheels 🙂 thanks 👍
Respect for you, thank you
Always been a fan of those Honda wheels. Haven’t seen them in that color before.
You are brilliant thank you so much restoring wheels using rattle cans well done
Thank you very much for that video I just but for rims yesterday for my little 2001 Kia but I couldn't get white it's a blue car and I wanted white so now I know what to do. I appreciate it thanks guys
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.
Best video on wheel painting I have seen!!! I will follow step-by-step. I have a question though, in the past I had issues with 'orange peel' after the Rattle Can clear coat was put on - what was I doing wrong? Thank you and keep up the good work.
One of the best video thanks nice work
My 05 acura tl has the same wheels and wanted to paint them but wasn't sure what it would look like with my car color. This is great.(they also have a bunch of curb rash from previous owner)
Finally!!! badass vid!!
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.
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.
That was very educational Nice work
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
TL wheels on a crv? Looks sick! Love it man great job and thank you for the vids..confidence for painting my 93 4door ex.
They are from Acura TL bro
Best method by Far. Thank you.
Thank you for teaching us.
