Probably the best diy wheel refurb in the world

Bro, I love your channel. I was a huge fan of wheeler dealers. Your channel fills that void. Keep giving old cars a new lease on life! They deserve more time on the road.

Johnny is a fair bit more believable than most of Wheeler Dealers content 😂 Great channel, thanks for the effort you put into the videos.

You've made a suberb job of those wheels, just goes to show what £30 and hard graft can acheive. Well done.

Thanks. They’ll do the job here I think!

That colour looks perfect against the red, Great job mate,

I don't think you need to justify either the way you did the wheel refurb or the end result! They are both excellent 😊

Carlsberg don’t make tyre protectors but if they did they’d be the…. Oh wait ! They do!

Wheels look spot on to me, great job

Very impressed with the budget wheel refurb. Been waiting for you to tackle a job like this. Like the colour & think they turned out great considering the small amount it cost. I know it's a lot of elbow grease involved, but the end result has proved its worth it.This is the reason i like this channel, you explain things in great detail & i certainly take confidence from what you do, to help me make my cars look better. Cheers Johnny & all the best 👍🏻

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed this one and it may have been helpful! 👍

Am liking that satin silver finish. Well done!

Wheels look great Johnny! Well done

Wheel shade looks classy and understated to me. Loads of work there boss, I hope the old girl manages to pay you back some!

This is the Blue Peter of car channels.

Great job. Well done. The Jag deserves the finishing touch

They've come up REALLY well! But this takes me back to painting my 04 astra alloys bright pink 🤣🤣🤣

Wheels look brilliant!

Looks top! Very inspirational that it’s possible to achieve such a finish even with a basic DIY method.

Thank you. With a bit of planning and prep, even a DIY job can look very good I think!

The wheels are spot on. I did the same on my son’s Clio alloys, they were rough and came out almost like new, just need a bit of elbow grease!

Keep them as is. Go well with each other.

Looks great, great choice on the colour

I did this to the wheels on my XF last summer. I looked at a lot of grey/ silvers and settled for a Peugeot silver, which was quite bright. Its possible to get the Jag silver on line at a price. I used two primer coats before spraying the silver and three x 2 part gloss lacquer coats to finish.

Fantastic work!

Nailed it with the wheels 👍

Great job keep the good work up loving your videos 👍

I use silicone tube nozzles to go over the tyre valve

Looks a really cared for example now!amazing difference good wheels make to the end result!

You made the wheels look very good 👍, would be proud and just call them refurbished wheels in the adv. If you sand them with the correct grids, use a spray gun and use the correct paint/lacquer it's definitely 80% of what a proffesional would achieve. Maybe a keeper for the more value car flips.

Looking great

Doing the same to my x type 2.2 sport saloon soon, very encouraging result. Thanks for posting, they look great. 👍

Great job looks realy good tgat colour 👍👍

Jaguar is looking good! Did notice the little scratch and the wing/door alignment as well. Many many years ago when I used to buy and sell cars I’d use a piece of garden hose and staples one end for covering the valves (reuseable) and then the same as you did with card board for the tyres then paint the wheels. Overall though, very smart and professional job.

good colour on the wheels,they seem to match the front grill!

Tyres look perfect mate the colour suits against the red🙌🏻

Alloys look great, wheels are only clean occasionally so that refurb is 100% better than left as before.

Nice job and perfect color choice too. Just cleaning the wheels (including the barrels) makes such a difference I find. Personally I would have taken a few minutes more to remove the old adhesive residue from former wheel weights at the back of the barrels.

Johnny, your wheels look amazing! Has given me the boost to do mine in the summer! I did get mine powder coated but the finish isn't great, and the brake dust has welded to it. Am glad you took our advice. Can I suggest for a next project, a Skoda Octavia or a VW Passat 5.5?

Nice job , I tried this before but just ended up rushing it so didn’t look great , more patience next time 👏👏👌

Look good buddy.

Mate they look great and the colour is great, very nice looking car, could be interested

Sensible compromise Johnny. Wheels look great and colour for me looks spot on. Car coming together really nicely now.

Thanks, I’m really happy with this slightly darker than standard shade. It’s grown on me more and more!

I prefer the darker colour

I paid £450 for my 20in JagXF wheel refurb and they look pretty dam good for £30 and I think suit the chilli red paintwork . Good job 👍

What paint did you use? I'm looking for a gun metal grey colour for my wheels. The one I used looks like a blue grey. The Jag is lookin really good BTW.

This was a generic ‘wheel silver’ from Halfords. They offer a darker shade, but in this case I went for the lighter option that they offer (which was still slightly darker than I expected but happily looks quite good!)

I don't know why ppl give rattle cans such a hard time, for a DIY referb on a budget I think the paint and you did a very good job. 👍👍👍👍👍

I think if applied properly, aerosol paint can be an excellent tool. I’ve done loads with it over the years including body panel paintwork blends and have always been very happy with the results!

Didn't you need to prime the wheels first?

Fair question, I did give the wheels some aerosol primer, but I forgot to mention this in my verbal recap of what i used as I had the primer in stock already. I used less than half a can for all of the wheels so costs were still less than £30 as mentioned 👍

Good god, man. Is there anything you can't do???

No way i would send them to professional refurbishers if they look like that for 30$ 😅... Total waste of money since the imperfections that might be there will never be seen in the normal use of the car...
