Hey Rickie, thanks for the video. Out of curiosity; did you only do 1 thick clear coat, or did you do 1 thick and a couple thin coats?

I was planning on doing this today! Me: I wish there were more videos of painting wheels! Throtl: you have 2 more wishes left

Nothing was going on

You and Mickey should do a window tinting how to... Or a professional detailing how to.

when dealing with aluminum wheels i use Low Temperature Aluminum Welding Rods that uses a propane torch to weld the damage then i will grind down to shape it then if needed i will go back over if still have any low areas left then a final sanding to shape and finish to what i want it to look like before finally painting it either in powder coat or normal high temp paint.

That has always seemed to be the proper way to do it (at least in my mind) but I have always wondered if the heat has any affect on the grain structure of the aluminum

dude those wheels look great now

I loved the (MR2) episode where you did electrical diagnostics! The way you explained things was informative and easy to follow. Seeing you do more electrical videos would be fantastic!

Now I want to see Victors car. Could that be a segment that you guys do, sort of like Hoonigans Build Breakdown. Where the staff and friends show off their cars and talk about what has been done and why? I would love that content. I have been dying to see Ricky's RX-7 in depth, that slammed Datsun pickup I saw once upon a time, and definitely Mickey's SiR in depth, that was high school me's dream car! Not to mention it would be awesome to look at the Porsche collection.

Hopefully we can get my car some screen time on throtl at some point 🤓 but if you really want to see it I have a few videos of it on my channel

I’ve literally just done this. Turned out really well! Thanks man

I am going to start refinishing my wheels this Saturday 👌🏽! Ricky’s garage is legit 👌🏽

They look amazing, had to replace 2 wheels on my car and was looking to paint them all and this is perfect for helping. Watching this I'm thinking I might change the colour I was going for.

Rickyyyy you're back. i want to do this for my dads car rims that got allot of corrosion on it but i'm to scared to do it myself. this vid really shows me that it is possible to diy it with amazing results. thanks

Hey man I really love the process you did very informative as well. I actually went to school and got certified for wheel repair/paint. The ONLY thing we did differently was use “steal stick” as a filler instead of bondo. Just because it’s less likely to crack or chip off like bondo and it’s same process for dry, sand, then prime. Other than that absolutely amazing man!

Don't worry man, your explanations were good and understandable even for me from france. I love your work and the way you want to share your knowledge, Ricky style rocks

Thanks for the consistent uploads keeping me entertained at home while in quarantine !!!

Good to see rickie back in a video. Wheels look good. Made me want to refinish my wheels

These wheels would look perfect on a Datsun 280

You guys are so awesome man. Great video. Never knew that quality could be achieved from home

That was one of the better videos I've seen on throtl lately this and the headliner video.

Amazing and effective video! It’s funny how sometimes simple garage videos really do the trick! Maybe do another video for simple car care like windshield chip repairs....

Looks SO good!

Rickie has been the best addition to the Throtl family. Ive loved his solo videos, just as much as everyone else's videos. Yes, I know Rickie isn't that new of an addition, I just had to say it.

That vid was dope! You made it look so easy. Will certainly give it shot now.

What I like about your videos, is that you don't take shortcuts. You take the time to do it right the first time.

This was amazing, Thanks man. I think I am ready to give this a go now.

I got a set of free konigs for my wrx I am doing this weekend... I did this professionally for 2 years... great process from throtl!

love love love this was a great watch keep up the good work

Nice video Rickie! Good tips, nice Job 👍

I had original Benz rims on my '03 C230 and rusty calipers to deal with. I also used the VHT high heat paint for my calipers while using Duplicolor paints (black chrome on final). I was able to wire wheel and Dremel most of the rust of the rotors and seal with Loctite Extend Rust Neutralizer before using two types of primer (1 Krylon dark, 1 light self etching). I think the hardest part of doing wheels is waiting for the drying so I moved between little tasks like refinishing the original bolts to match the rims. I wheel say, I haven't the tools of garage space you have so I am bit envious of your wealth ;) My neighbors wanna kill me for making so much noise and spray painting all day.

Nicely done. Thank you. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for the great video. I was planning on doing this to my wheels.

Thanks for the informative and detailed video. Going to paint and refinish the wheels on my 79 Corolla!

Really good DIY video bro. They came out great!

All in the prep work, always what I've heard. Nice work.

Just in time, doing my wheels on the Evo X this weekend just 4 new look on a budget. Great Video👍Wheels look🔥🔥

Great Video, you're the man Rickie!

Throtl ViP squad Good morning Rickie awesome a how to repair curb rash on custom wheels 👍😊

Those look sick, great video as usual!!

These came out great, nice job!

Hell yeah! They turned out amazing man

Thank you guys so much. This was very informative

Excellent video!

I actually did this today and it turned out great!

Can't wait to do this for the wheels on my 79 Toyota Corolla! I have some Konig Rewind wheels I picked up for $100. Very similar to these. Those look like the Rota RKR. Came out awesome man! Great video!

Thanks Ricky for the video. nice home garage . Next project should be how to vinyl wrap your garage refrigerator to match your setup.👍

Rickie Spec. Always quality content.

wow incredible results

When Rickie said “it’s like this and like that” did anybody answer back “and uh, like this”? 😂

This is by far the best video I've found on how to fix wheels. I'm still nervous about doing mine tho as I've never done anything like this before and one of mine is wayyyyy worse than this ever was. Idk if I'm gonna be able to do it but I guess as long as it holds air when I'm done, I can't mess it up any worse than it already is lol. Thanks for the video.

Love the how to videos keep them coming

Those look amazing Ricky! I’m not a big fan of gold rims, but those look nice.

I did this recently too. I filled damage spots with JB weld and smoothed them out. I really didn't want to change the shape of the wheel.

Wheels came out really well! Like the Puerto Rican flag on your fridge too lol. Vaya!

They came out really nice 👍

I have sweet connections. Got 8 rims powder coated for 300 bucks. But I prefer wet painting. But the thing is the rims was crazy scratched. So the fixed them with aluminum bondo. Besides....those rims are for the track. Gonna repair my 19" Csl rims this weekend. Gonna look great on my BMW 1 series. Haha

Great video

Those came out better than i expected, which leads me to ask. Can you make a video on steps to paint a car in full at home. Having a hard time here finding a hvlp to compressor combo. Thanks!

Excellent video! You really put effort on this one explaining every detail of the process. I’ve been gathering information about wheel repair lately. I want to take on my set of wheels, repair them and change color from silver to black, the only thing is that I want a polished lip finish, so what will be your approach in that matter? 2 or 3 of these wheels have several amounts of curb rash in the lip, should I get them welded or a metal based filled will do the job? Hope I made a good case point here. Cheers!

Hey, good job man, as an idea, you should put up an video teaching how to revive all the plastics of the car, inside the engine bay and also from the interior.

very helpful video. after tiredsome job listen some relaxing music.

good video ricky, short and to the point not drug out like some

Such talent..

I liked this video, especially seeing how the spot putty is used to fix the extensive curb rash and using just basic self-etching primer. I just hope you're in good health after all that painting WITHOUT a respirator. Cheers!

I'd love to see you show how to properly repair cracks/blemishes on lower portions of bumpers.

Jb weld works great as filler for gashes. Sand and work it just like metal. Bonds forever. Did this myself.

Love that Watanabe Rims. ❤️

They look wery nice rick 👌

I use metal epoxy putty (knead-it brand specifically)... for filling in gutter rash, damage etc... I am really enjoying the DIY stuff, I personally would like a video on building custom door cards out of Aluminium sheets. I am currently trying to build a track car and I can't find any GOOD video's on how best to do this... Cheers

Idea for another video: DIY Exhaust manifold painting. In my application I am going to repaint a turbo heat shield for a WRX. I imagine the process should be about the same though. Great video and very informative.

Was only going to look at KZread for 2 minutes tonight. Came across This channel and instantly developed insomnia.💯

i repaired and painted my own rims before. I followed all the steps, made sure everything was clean and wiped down. I applied the proper etching primer to bare metal. Primed and painted everything properly. But as soon as new tires are put on, the new paint around the lips get scratched immediately from the stiff side walls of the tires. The tire shop said that on low profile and stiff side wall tires, the paint must be baked using paint with built in hardner. Regular spray can paint jobs are not ideal for stiff side wall tires.

Aguante Rickie carajo!

can you make a video on how to fix a broken bumper tab please??

Thanks guys for making our covid lockdown bearable 🙏🏽

I like using jb weld. Alot harder and durable finish and its sandable.

Keeping it with the same theme of painting, I was thinking a follow up video could show how to paint valve covers, calipers, or even interior plastic trim to make a vehicle transform completely. For instance like a tan plastic interior prepped and painted gray, black or even a white color would be unique. Great job on the wheels by the way!👍🏻
