How to Repaint Your Wheels (ANY COLOUR)
PREVIOUS VIDEO ▶︎ • GOOD NEWS!!!
In this video, I show you how I go ahead and repaint the rusty steel wheels on a Ford F250. By following this procedure, you will have the knowledge, a full step by step tutorial, and the links you will need to tackle this project yourself.
I have everything you will need linked below, in the order of appearance. If you’re looking for something that I missed, just let me know in the description, or send me your question at milanmastracci@gmail.com.
This tutorial is mainly focusing on steel wheels are the rusting, however if you are working with alloy wheels, it will be a bit easier as there will not be any rust and the aluminum is a softer substrate than steel, meaning the prep should be easier. I will include a video in the future regarding painting alloy wheels.
If you have any questions regarding the video, you know what to do. Thanks for watching!! :)

this is the basic concept of DIY to make it things look nice.....its simply an awesome job..but I dont understand with all the people who dont appreciate the effort of showing the skills and the technicality of this gentleman....this guy one day will be a professional mentor...keep doing it buddy...
Nice to see a young kid doing work like this.
"Rust is like cancer" leaves whole other side of rim and back of bead rusty and untouched, along with wheel weights.
I can't believe there are so many paint masters and experts in one comment section. It's incredible. I'm sure they all have there own channel where they educate the rest of us on the proper techniques of painting car wheels. I like the video. Looks like a good DIY project for a work truck most anyone can do. Well, except for a few haters in the comments, lol.

Great detail! Thanks
Killed it bro... doin same thing to my dually rims
I just got my car license!! I got it on the same day I turned 18! (I live in Sweden and you got to be 18 to get a license here) Anyway, I just bought my first car about 2 weeks ago. And I have already styled it and it looks really good. I have painted the rims black, and the brake calipers red. I have also put on a black racing stripe. And I have bought new "side mirror indicators". The car already had tinted windows and eyelids on when I bought it. I have a Volvo v50. Just wanted you to know xD
Nice video. why didnt you remove the weight from the wheels? when you balance the wheels next time you will notice the old color.
@DavidB445

Right.. They are all going to need balanced again anyway.. using the flap disc removes some metal as well as the rust and paint and now it has 9 coats of paint, 3 of each can, so the weight will be all over the place.

3 cans of each on 4 different wheels won't affect the balancing and also removing the rust and paint would change the balancing but would not be noticable as it would be such a tiny difference.

Where do you get charged 80$ to get balanced 4 wheels?? Here to get 4 tires changed on mags and balanced cost 50$ in total, and to only get 4 wheels balanced costs 15$ for all four.

Great stuff, thank you.
One important thing on these old style, pressed steel wheels that rust - check the welds. I had a set of 80's wagon wheels on my diesel that rusted at the welds on the back and started vibrating. Traded with someone that wanted the tires and scrapped the wheels, win-win for us both.
Great vid!
Nice detailed video.

Hello love you're vids, very informative and thoughtful. Question, I have a 2001 VW Jetta with OEM grey alloy wheels. I would like to paint them white, would this same method work? or another method? Btw I've been watching you're VW GOLF series. 👌
Good video. My only critique is that an angle grinder is a bit too aggressive IMO. It can cause “waves” in the metal which, depending on the color you choose, might show in the finished product. When doing a project like this you HAVE to take your time. Shortcuts might save some time but the results are usually better when more patience is exhibited. And 🖕🏻all the haters. Keep doing your thing, young man!

Hi! Great Video! Don't feel like reading thru all the negative comments below, and I'm sure this question already got answered. How long did you wait for the Black Paint to dry before you started hitting it with the Clearcoat?
should've used self etching primer on the bare steel. and sanding between the primer and base would've given a better finish
well done my mate!

So what happens when you get new tires or need to balance the wheel? All that time spent sanding and painting is wasted. So in the long run, is it worth it, Dipshit?

Yea you always remove the balance weights because if you want your tires to last the full length you rotate and balance them every 7 to 8 thousand miles and chances are your gonna need to move the weights when you do so yes always remove the weights but other then that is a nice paint job

You should make another video - How to turn painted wheels into polished/chrome . I see that after you grind of the paint of the wheel , you could use extra fine sandpaper to a near chrome state & apply metal polish to top it off.
Lol watched all the way to the end... 3 uggua dugua hahahaha
Thinking about doing this to my wheels did it last well?
Those cards make it look like you got white walls on your tire! That would be a cool look on your truck! (I miss white walls) Personally, I think three coats of primer is a waste of paint and time, since primer is primarily used to help bond to the surface and after two coats (second to help cover perfectly) is no longer necessary as the surface is fully covered and you are just priming primer.
Liked video, thanks. Didn't know the warm water trick. If painting with tired off, do I paint the inner part, or just clean and treat with Marvle's, or something?
Looks nice now you have to do it on the other three wheels
Contemplating whether to do this but it's November with damp cool air. Thoughts on doing this when it's 5-10°C with mid-high humidity?
Im trying to remove paint and a little bit of rust on my trailer to paint it . will the flap disk work better and faster then the wire brosh ?

Hey Milan, what are your thoughts on plasti dip clear coat in a can?
I wouldn't grind on rims because when you do that it usually causes the wheel to become greatly out of balance.
@hardkore360
3 жыл бұрын
that doesn't make sense to me, imagine all the mud and rust behind the wheel that throws the wheel off balance just as it is. If you then remove the rust, clean the inside of the wheel, and rebalance the tire, I dont see any issues with sanding.
Kinda funny I subscribed and u got a notification 😂
What about the wheel weights. If you have the tire rebalanced chases are the weights will be in a different location and you wind up with a place with no paint. What do you do about that spot ?

I'd like to see a follow up on this one (how long does it all last?), considering that it's just a cosmetic touch up.. (only the external face is addressed, nothing done to the inner face or the rim lip)
Is it a good idea to have the tires removed and paint the inside of the rims?

Alright question, I know you made a video a while back about cleaning and waxing wheels (or at least I'm pretty sure you did) is there any special process to wax wheels that are spray painted or is it the same as regular wheels
Good video, if I was going all the trouble I'd do the entire wheel though with the tire removed
I just bought a new truck that has steel painted rims. Since the rims are new do I still have to sand the paint off or can I just paint over them? this is a work truck with the gray steel rims.
For all those concerned about the wheel weights: he likely doesn't care about the wheel, it's probably a scratch(that's what we call it in my shop), you do shit to it because you can or you need the practice. He did a fine job, sanding was ok, but everything else considered he's pretty masterful for so young.
Nice video. I would suggest that you spray from a little further distance so you don't get to much uneven spread.

dont u need to sand to a finer grit after ypu do primer?
how does this hold up when you have tires changed?
I work in a manufacturing warehouse where we paint amd laminate.. And we also have a woodworking shop and a metal shop.. When you spray.. You are supposed to start and finish each stroke off of the rim.. And never in heavy strokes that close.. To apply light coats.. You spray around a foot away and when you want to apply heavier coats.. Always a foot away and just do each stroke a bit slower to avoid runs and orange peel.
hey man, what program do you use to edit your videos ?
how many days did it take you to do the entire project?
How many cans of each roughly would I need for 17 inch wheels including the barrel?
After the last primer coating what was the wait time before putting on the basecoat color black? Then, what is wait time before clear coat applied? The video didn't mention this. Good video. Ignore the negative people. They are simply wheels.
i gotta admit it came out nice. looks like if it was done professionally.
