Going to try this in the summer on my 2006 Focus Ghias undamaged but flaky wheels.Looked at lots of videos doing this and your method looks the most straightforward and clear explanation instead of horrible music.Helpful and informative as always.Thanks.

Thanks. Been looking for a DIY guide. Love the card trick 😛

I would have done the same routine EXCEPTi would have arranged all the bricks behind you into a pillar to raise the wheel up to a comfy working height,easier on the back,knees and eyes.

I am literally about to do my 2009 titanium's wheels. How did yours go?

Brilliant, thanks so much!

Fantastic job ! Thank you for this video !! Can you help us with the shopping list for 4 wheels ? Thanks again

Great job and tips there thank you, do you have a shopping list for what you need to do the wheels and where is a good place to buy from, i am on the south coast

Good job.

Fantastic m8

Thank you

Excellent

very nice

Really good video but any product recommendations?

Cool vid. One question though. Aren't alloys usually powder coated. Will standard spray paint chip and wear quickly being so low to the ground?

Hi , What colour primer I should use for silver colour paint?

what brand do you recommend for the playing cards? waddingtons are usually my first choice but I wonder if they have too much flex for the tyre walls.

@@furiousdriving I'll have to check out the classifieds then. That kind of GSM doesn't come cheap. That explains why professional refurb is so expensive

How much time does it take?

Hello, Any chance you list all the different equipment/tools needed please?

How hard is this?? I acc wanna try this 🥺

wet and dry ??

Brilliant video and technique! I've just followed this almost to the letter but DON'T do what I did and skimp on the prep - the result is all down to the amount of sanding! I did most of the job with 80 then didn't do a lot of the 120, now my wheels look all scratched and I think I'm gonna have to do them again... also got loads of the filler on the outside of the rim, what a ball ache to get off! Thanks for the vid!

How much tins of each would I need for all 4 rims? My alloys are more or less in perfect condition, will I only need to use 80 and 120 sand paper? Thinking of doing mine for something to do during this shenanigans haha

Nice work, how long between paint and lacquer for drying

Where did you get your clear coat from. The one I got sprays out rain drops!!

If it wasnt Halfords it was a specialist car paint supplier

@@furiousdriving ok cheers mate

For 100% results, the paint should be left arround 3-7 days to dry and sit properly. This if you don't have a oven to dry the paint much faster. Only after that, you can apply laque, this will be the only and the best way to do them. Took me arround 1week to completely do them properly.

Some people say you should hit it with the clear coat while the paint is still drying.. Not sure which is better

I did four in just under five hours, from sanded down to primered base coated and laquered, mind you i used and electric sander and spray guns to do the job.

The wheels are alloy so etch primer should be used not just any primer

What brand base colour brand do you recommend?

Hey thanks for getting back to me. Was at halford and they advised it may sometimes chip off after use. Have you had good experience after returning the wheels? Or have you had some chipping

how many hours in total?

@furiousdriving

5 жыл бұрын

with drying time between coats it took all day but theres only a couple of hours actual work. Depends how intricate your wheels are and how fussy you are about the finish

How long does it take per wheel would you say?

@furiousdriving

A couple of hours

Much easier with tyre removed dont you think

Great job but please wear a mask next time

Best to have the tyres removed It not a lot of money

never ever put filler in wheels.....

mate sort your audio out.

Could do without the sanding noise

I would rather pay £200 and get them refurbished

Fuckin hell mate put the mic closer to the sanding why don't you

Jesus Christ lad, I appreciate the video but seriously.. learn audio leveling when you're editing. The second you edited into the first sanding I ruptured my ear drum. Ouch. Ok, rant over! ❤️
