I sprayed all my weight black. Helps so much with rusting and looks awesome.

Great video Stevie! Did the same thing with my rusty weights, thanks for the video.

Awesome video, Thanks for getting JBL with that chair.

Your wife and you make funny and instructive content. Good stuff!

I’m just seeing this video, good stuff broski!

thisisacrummyname All I would say is it’s always good to clean off any rust that you see first with a wire brush. Then clean the weights off with isopropyl alcohol. After that when you paint them, don’t have the spray can get any closer than 12” or any farther then 18” while painting. Lastly let them dry for more than “20 minutes” in between coats, & a full 48 hours before you use them. You want the paint to cure properly. Anyway I liked the video 👍

One more thing. How about shaking the can more in between sprays? I think it looks pretty good.

Rust-Oleum & Krylon Color Maxx are perfectly fine to use.

I was looking at this video “like wow this guy looks like Stevie Richards”. Then I look at the channel name 😑. Who remembers when Stevie Richards main event we Wrestlemania 16 in the fatal 4 way for the WWF Championship? IYKYK

Turned out real nice 👍🏽

Nice video! Weights look 👍

Fun little project

Do you need to add a sealer?.

Great job

Hi, I just wana know....would I really need to put clear coat at the end (or after the 2nd/3rd coats of paint) or would I need to put clear anti corrosion spray? I heard is optional on each/both ideas. Reason why I'm asking is I already sprayed two coats of Primer then 2 coats of Dulux Enamel Paint over it. I was told Enamel has rust protection.

Although I’m no plate restoration expert, I don’t think the way you’re doing will be an issue. Our plates couldn’t have looked worse before we did ours, so I’ll take the improvement even if it’s not permanent.

Hey man I know this video is kinda old but how long did the paint hold up? I'm opening my own gym and i really want to paint our plates.

They’re actually holding up pretty well. We gave them to a friend and still look good.

I have a bumper plate. What do you think is a good paint to use for that?

@StevieRichardsFitness

3 жыл бұрын

Great question. I really don’t have an answer except, I think, bumper plates are dipped and not sprayed. I could be wrong though. Since bumpers are essentially rubber, maybe find a paint that works on that.

Stevie Richards!!

So after a year how are they holding up? Did it chip off easily? Mine are already all black some with silver letters but thinking of spraying them shiny gold

How long should you let it dry for?

So I did this aswell. I lightly scuffed them with sandpaper the 2 coat painted them. Couple hours of dry time in-between coats. Then I did 2 coats of clear coat. Same dry time between coats. Then let them sit for 24 hours before use.

I'm getting some new cast iron plates and I'm planning on coloring them the Olympic standard way. Would you recommend spray painting new plates? I'm thinking the layers of paint might also prevent the metal itself from rusting.

@StevieRichardsFitness

That’s always an option if you want different colors rather than aging extra. Picking the right spray paint to prevent rust would be important as well.

I'm curious, did they stay sticky or did the stickiness go away?

Dude, next time use a mask. Your lady was next to you without one either. No bueno. Plates look nice though. Just please use a mask next time.

Next time elevate the weights so they don't stick to the plastic. :)

If they still feel sticky you don’t want to stack them against each other until they are fully cured. I’m sure your wife told you that off camera though.

Not bad now you can't right to censor that lol
