How to Paint Stock Wheels Black

Honda prelude 1997




In this video I'll show you how to paint the wheels of you car in virtually any color you like. Also skip step 6 if you want a flat black look.
IMPORTANT: Paint cannot take any kind of damage or else the paint will chip off. So when you are removing the wheel (future tire rotation) make sure you are careful.

Price tag 30-40 depending on prices of local stores
Items used
White primer 2 cans
Black engine paint 2 cans
clear coat 2 cans
index cards
sandpaper 320 grid

@TrustMacintosh hey, how r u?

are all the sprays u used in this video engine sprays? what about the primer? because i couldn't find it on the link u posted

[TrustMacintosh]

@badftj The primer is also in the link under primer sealer. Hope that helps. Yes they are all engine sprays.

so yea...uhh, looks nice and all i like it but when the rims get dirty and wear out, can i just use your basic rim cleaner without messing out the finish?

[bdgroom]

What brand names did you use for the primer, paint, and clear? Awesome video btw

ha, sorry, should have read your answers to other comments and questions before posting...

[LetsGoFlyers2011]

one more thing, going to be paintin my rims soon and I too dont have them jack stands. going to make some out of 2x4s so ill try and make a vid to respond to this one. hope itll help if you do this kind of thing often.

[LetsGoFlyers2011]

hey thumbs up on the vid. was wonderin how much you know about the type of paint I would want to buy. would ya think Id be safe as long as the cans have something to do with auto? auto primer, engine enamel, etc... do you know if the clear coat comes in a satin sheen? goin to do my truck rims but dont want em glossy. I really like the clearcoat idea though. most vids on paintin wheels dont mention it and I was worried about chippin and scratches. thanks

[badftj]

@TrustMacintosh sorry just one last thing, the clear coat is it an engine spray as well?
