Spray painting rims

Have you ever wanted to try spray painting your rims? Me too. Here is a time lapse video of me spray painting silver rims into white. Washing-Sanding-Priming-Painting-Clear Coating and done. i stopped the camera after final prime, and final paint so that's why it goes straight into paint/clear coat in the initial phases. Total time taken... probably around 5-6 hours. Hopefully it lasts.
Materials used:
1 400grit 3M wetordry sandpaper
1 can dupicolor sandable primer white
2 cans dupicolor engine paint white
1 can Dupicolor Clear Coat

Music: No idea, i had to to do a random audioswap because the music i put in was copyrighted :(

sooooo what da FUCK are you gonna put them on to? a fuckin wheel burrow?

[topdawgx99]

@Immaculite if u see my other vids, i have a 2011 wrx :D comes with summer tires, so i got a set of used rims with all seasons for cheap and use it during the winter season

were your rims originally powder coated? mine are and I want to paint over the grey powder coat.

[topdawgx99]

@craigdbl i don't think so, but you can spray paint powder coated rims. you must sand the surface well and degrease it to make sure the paint sticks to the rim.

wow this guy works fast!

@SuPrAmAd101 haha. assuming you mean back, there wasn't a need for me to. what's the point of spraying the back? to show people when you rotate tires? if there was ANY significance to painting the back i would. it's not about being cheap, spray paint is cheap. it takes a lot more needless work and time to do that though. these are temporary winter rims just during the cold weather. hope this vid helped you! :D

@alstare00

[alstare00]

Well done bro! Are those 15"? What color is your car?

I'm thinking of painting mine white, my car is red. What do you guys think?

[craigdbl]

Thanks for the reply. Mine were powder coated and they came out really nice with rustoleum spay paint.

@acballin15 nope, just stick index cards inbetween the rim and the tire. no spray paint got onto the tire except when like 2 of my index cards went limp and i didn't realize it

[acballin15]

Did you have to deflate the tire when you masked it off??
