hey people, you can always use paint remover on the rims, and then sand down the rest of it, i recommend only doing this to an alloy wheel, lie my rims are alloy and there already painted, if i wanted to havem repainted, i would use paint remover and then now my rim is naked alloy, now i can primer paint then clear, that? is the best way i think about passing up sanding.

@TheinfamousJoker Hey man; did you get a reply from this question?? I'd also like to know what kind of abrasive cloth sander thing he is using! -I do know however, that the machine is an 'Orbital' sander. :)

@114avataraang Agreed!!!? :D

@RufusMcFray Hi ...
@RufusMcFray Hi mate, dont know if anyone has replied to your question. But im glad to try to help :) Id say that the inner portion is going to be covered in a tonne of brake dust so its not absolutely necessary. But, i would recommend doing the inner portion first, yes. Clean the whole rim first! Mask up between each spoke so no paint gets? through. Dont do the other side till its dry. Then mask up between the spokes again but on the other side when you paint the front face. :D

@KeskinTRS Also, If its not a DIY job; ya gotta start somewhere!!! and no matter where that is, people (again, like you)? will say something about it! The best you can do is try on a bit of old plastic or cardboard (As mentioned in the vid), then move onto something like this. Jesus fcuking christ mate

@KeskinTRS whoa, ...
@KeskinTRS whoa, f**k off buddy. Do your really think that improving the look of the disgusting, damaged gold rims really devalued them; even if they DIY'd it?? Yes, there may be specific paint or? clear coat. But you try making your own instructional video without missing every single f**king point that one of the billion dickheads on youtube like you are gonna bring up. As if it matters THAT much? u fukin cock.

@SniperM90X Leave ...
@SniperM90X Leave the primer to dry for almost a day. then do the base. leaving around 5 mins between coats. leave that to dry for almost a day too. give it a light wet sand with about 1500 or even 2000 grit wet&sand paper to remove s**t thats stuck to the paint. Then clear coat. leave it to 'flash' as marty said in the video and then another coat. Leave it for a day. wet sand again from like 1500 or 1800 then 2000 grit? wet&dry. Then buff it up after that too! hope that helped :)

@katanamast279 (in ...
@katanamast279 (in AUS dollars) Sand paper; looking at up to $15 Degreaser; maybe $10-20 Spray Cans: Filler Primer; $20-25 Primer; $25 Base Coat; $30 Clear Coat; $30 All up your looking at around $130 really.. Thats my approximation, Im actually doing it this weekend. Getting them professionally? powder coated can be anywhere from 300 to 500. and i dont know if that includes preping them. And? you never know, they mite do a dodgy job and it turns to s**t a bit after. (it happens)

do you let the base coat dry before adding? the clear coat? or do you apply the clear coat right after applying the base coat?
