Looks great 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I’m thinking of doing this on my bike and this was really informative, thanks!
Cheers mate. Glad it helped! Something another viewer told me was that, in preping before the paint, I should use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as it's less 'oil-like' than the degreaser I used.
Nice work man👍🏼
Appreciate it!
Good video mate.
Glad you enjoyed it! I've got more such stuff on the way! Stay tuned!
U solved my problem 👍
Glad it helped!
Thank you bro
Any time! Hope it helped!
Thanks for the video. Not sure if I would do this. My paint still looks good. It's a 05, but I don't take it off road much. I do like the colors of the after market rims. Hope your paint job will last.
If you're unsure do what I did on my first go.. use plasti-dip... if it messes up you can peel it off easily! and add a clear coat to lock it in! Probably the best way to go for a first timer!
MY plasti-dipped road wheel set have lasted about 4 years and counting mate!
Great,what kind of paint did you use?
Those rim are chrome,.did you use sandpaper before applying the paint?
Can you paint the spokes to or is this not Good?
hot tip: before removing tape run that bit of plastic you were tucking the tape with between the tape and paint should break any bonds between the 2 and decrease the chance of pulling up the paint when you take the tape off.
That's a great tip! I should have added it in. But hopefully viewers see your comments they watch this.
I like to cut straws downone side and place them on my spokes when painting rims
Just learned of this Plasti Dip from your video. Can you tell me if you had any issues (when previously using it) removing masking tape, given the overspray? I figure after a few coats the overspray across masking tape line would have built up so much that tear out would be inevitable unless you used a razor blade to assist removal. Not much different to latex house paint I expect in how it can occasionally tear out on tape removal. Thanks
Honestly the plastidip alone hold well, but it has a mild matt texture which will inevitably trap dust. So i used a clear-coat over it. My thinking was that the plasdtidip will make it easy to peel of one day when I need to take it off, but the clear coat will lock it in for now. 4+ years on it's holding up really well!
Keep it simple.
Always!
Good job. I was concerned when you were wanting to use the export paint but the squirt paint left a nice finish. Just leave them out in the sun for a few days to cure and harden up. OEM black rims are either powder coated or 2 pack paint which leave a strong durable finish.
Yeah, after showing the EXPORT, I didn't want to shoot myself in the foot by using itwhen it says "no automotive use", and I had another option at hand. Squirt's paint is thicker due to the primer. And yes I agree, it's dry-to-touch, but I'm going to let the rims sit a few days!
I would have loved to, but powdercoating is beyond my skill level... for now!
factory rims are hard anodised
Does this stays for long
If you plan to use it off-road, I found that plasti-dip lasts longer as it doesn't chip as much as regular paint.
...any decals or your gas tank wrap will fail because of the petrol fumes that outgas from the tank. Look at aftermarket decals---all have a gazillion holes to not trap the petrol vapor.
watch video on x2 speed
haha! That's something I learnt myself from this video. So in future videos I actually did fast forward some bits :)

Just remove the rubber tyre before spraying
Yeah, that's one way to go, but I'm not a 100% confident of not pinching the tube in the process
@@OnTwoWheels its also a way to immediately scratch paint off when you try to put the tire back on
Spraying with the tire on prevents any overspray from occurring where the tire bead seals to the rim.
It’s not history lesson keep it short
I must agree mate! In this day and age a 10+min video is long! I'm gonna start shortening the videos I make.
