DIY: Re paint rims

Pretty simple task.

What you need:

Newspaper
Painters tape
Sandable Primer
Paint (I used spray paint)
Clearcoat
Airplane stripper
sandpaper ( I used 220 and 1000 grit)
paint brush





Step 1:

Tape off the wheel and air valve. Apply a good amount of the stripper onto your rim. Make sure you don't get any on you or any rubber of your tire. Stuff will eat your skin and tire. I used a paint brush to get all of the wheel.


Step 2:

Rinse wheels, if you don't get all of the paint off it's ok, you're just gonna sand it anyways.

Step 3:

Take the 220 grit and sand all of the wheel, you're gonna need to make it kind of rough so the primer has something to stick to.

Step 4:

Apply primer. I did 2 coats. More coats is fine. Let dry.


Step 5:

take the 1000 grit and sand the primer, make it all smooth and even.

Step 6:

Apply paint. I think I did 3 coats. the more the better I guess. Let dry.


Step 7:

Apply clear coat. Let dry in between coats. I did 3 coats of this. Let dry


I didn't use newspaper on this one cuz the tires are bad and so I didn't need to keep paint off of them.

I didn't do any wetsanding or buffing, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to do that as well.
