I worked in a Chrome plate shop for years, it's a nasty process that goes through several acid etching and polishing steps. Chrome adds a significant amount of weight and if you use the wrong brake pads, will wear off the wheel. Every part I plated for my bike eventually folded, bent or broke. Which is strange because we mainly plated factory parts for Harley Davidson. I never had problems with parts I bought plated, but parts I stripped paint off and then plated would always fail... I still dig chrome, I'm just warning the custom and restoration guys about potential failure.

I’m not sure if you know the answer to this however I have been wondering cus I’m wanting to paint my rim black, it’s anodized silver aka polished or so they call it, I’m wondering if I can just sand it immediately and then paint it? or should I use paint stripper? would love an answer, thanks

@@agdvideo1715 likely you'd sand it ohave them lightly sandblasted.. you could also try scuff pads, but you will be prepping the wheels for days We use to remove anodizing with oven cleaner also. Maybe google how to remove anodizing and go from there.. What I can say is the better you prep, the better the results.. also we have an oven for baking paint on, makes a difference in durability and appearance.. Also check and see how much your local powder coater would charge, and what they expect for prep... may surprise you how affordable that can be,and that's probably the most durable coating you can go to

The chrome chips like the bumpers on older model vehicles when they are damaged.

The E paint you wanted to know is only to keep the metal from rusting.

just painted my frame u Alf ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING RELEVENT

Used to work for an alluminum molding factory.

Great vid by the ways boys keep up the rad content 😎👍🏻

Use some salon care 40 and some Saran Wrap to whiten the mags up!

Thanks Phu! Epic!!!

Can't wait for that mag video!!

Hey Alf love the video, as far as restoring the old school mags go you, if they are white as I saw in the other video, you can get volume 50 hair bleech from a hairdressing salon and then i'm pretty sure you put them in a clear plastic bag and leave them in the sun for about a day and they turn out alright. Also what I did with my tuffs as the weren't too old to get rid of the brake marks I got sandpaper and wet it and started sanding the rim amd went around it, it took alot of time but it turned out mint, just have to make sure the closer you get to the surface of the ogk wheel through the muck you have to go to a higher grit sandpaper to not damage the wheel

Nothing has better paint than my 97 gt performer (black and green marble) The chunky metallic flake paint on my ‘23 BK team signature IS nice, but the best paint was on them mid school freestyle bikes

Damn it! I was looking for those toothpaste odyssey rims like 6 months ago!

Get em they're good rims powder coated parts are longer lasting then painted or anodized rims I have powder coated 3 stage rims and I've had these rims for 3 years and they have not faded or lost color I run brakes with clear Kool stop supra 2 pads and these pads stop really good and don't fade rims or scratch them unless you have dust or debris on the pads or rims

At work checking out the vid. 🤘

Cerakote. Electrically applied ceramic coating. Mostly used on guns, as a very wear resistant, rust proof coating. It is also extremely thin, so machining isn't affected as far as size of parts fitting together. Not used on bikes or parts.....yet :D

You guys should do a video on spokes if you haven't already... I got both my dad and uncles bikes. My dads bike is a blue hoffman TOJ (I believe thats what its called) with intertwined spokes in the back which I really like, except its weight. My uncles bike is a Morales Flatland (I also believe this is what its called although I could be wrong) with an 18 inch tt. I think they are pretty cool and I've been told they are worth a lot too.

Hey guys would you happen to have a WTP Utopia fork? Thanks for the videos! EPIC is the best!

Get a small paint brush and brush salon 40 or salon 50 if u can get it on the mags real thick and wrap them with cling wrap. Then leave out in the sun for 3-4 hours each side and flip over and repeat. Dont forgot to cover the wheel hubs with tape too. Also removing the axles helps alot too. Keep trying till they are as white as you want them.

Can you put the bars on the neck and then chrome them ?

Epic!!

Cerakote is gaining popularity

What is the difference between where the screws are placed on the stem

huh i never knew jetfuel was made the same way chrome is. that's cool

The odessy powder coated rims would loook sooooo fire with some gold hubs

What are your thoughts on trans paint? I heard that it isn't as strong as traditional paint. Looks great though.

Chrome bmx frame any in stock???

about the white... u can get anodized white, but it be hella expensive. got a alloy keyboard case anodized white n it looks freakin good but costed 200 bucks while the other colors anodized for same product where like 100 bucks.. just saying it's out there

I thought Odyssey did a hard anodize to all their rims…or is that just on the black? I used to work for the distributor and when I ran brakes the black would not come off from the brake pads. Also what’s rust proof black? Is it the same as ED black?

How did they do my Frame ? it is Trans Gold ? I can see the weld burn. Transparent Gold ? Anodize ?

And how about transparent paint on chrome?

I have black wheels, and I was wondering if clear break pads will save the black paint? Or

What kind of spray paint do u recomend for a DIY paint job. I heard 3m or Dupont r good. But u have any specific paint n clear coat? N how many coats of each? Luv the vids keep em rollin

@AlfredoMancuso

Thanks man! DuPont is solid, it’s more about the prep work than the brand. Strip the paint, primer, paint it with 2 coats and clear coat it a few hours lately

Chemical etching is another finish. "Second Life" for raw frames like evil an a couple other brands.

Chrome plated Hutch seat clamps would always crack with hundreds of cracks. Stupid design, bead polishing would have worked perfectly, and never cracked.

There is a sorta kind of white anodizing. They do it on Motherboard heatsinks. It's not completely white but it's close enough to look white (in context of contrast) even though it's more of a very light grey.

Powder coat stops way better than paint anodized finishes I've gotten my rims powder coated with a three stage base sparked highlight sparkle then a heavy clear finish Haven't had any brake issue brake fade or rim fade from using brakes I use clear supra 2 brake pads

I always used chromed rims because of brakes. Recently I changed to some black gsports and I have to say i'm very surprised by how well they brake, even with regular pads

The White Mag Wheels: Have you guys tried Retro Bright, It's what old nerds do to there retro PC's. All those beige computers back in the 80's and 90's would darken over time and look really bad, so guys like "The 8-bit Guy" would use Retro Bright and the leave it out in the sun for a day, and it would bring back somewhat close to the original color. Also, I guess Retro Bright is basically peroxide, water and UV light.

A key thing to rims is using the correct pads for them And powder coat isn't paint it's way far from it You charge the item that holds charge then you spray the item with the powder that attaches itself to things that hold charge

I'd disagree and say I think powdercoating is better than paint because it's baked on.. normal paint would have to be weaker hence why they powder coat so much industrial stuff, such as engine parts. Which like a powdercoated manifold would be able to resist high heats hence you would expect even if not abit better from powdercoated rims.. I beleive anyway
