Weeell when you said most guys are not gonna remove the tire, I disagree I always remove the tire and I'm glad you made a video on this because I saw it and just bought this exact rim stand. And I know I'll probably use it 1-2 times a year but that is beside the point 🤣🤣
That was cool having you pop in on Marco's livestream Saturday night for a cameo in the comment section. Wheel painting is tedious and time consuming work, but very rewarding in the end. Thanks for another great video!
An alternative to the wheel rack is a work stool. Drop a garbage bag over the seat, lock the wheels from rolling and there you go. On a table, you can easily rotate the wheel.
Gotta paint my wheels now that i’ve watched u r Video. 😂 Thanks a lot Brian my landcruiser FJ 40 looks nice now learning how to paint car from your video
Brian ... Your cars and work belong in a museum ! Holy crap dude. I put 20 bucks on it the right Honda dealer would give you a brand new accord in exchange for that car !
Great video. Appreciate the detail on changing fan patterns. I have to imagine lighting becomes an issue when shooting deep wheels. Finished product looked great!
I have a 2001 Ford F150 with an aluminum hood. The paint on the hood leading edge is bare aluminum. Would you please do a video and provide tips on prepping and painting aluminum? Thanks. Learning a lot from your videos. Really appreciate your knowledge.
I wish I could watch you repaint motorcycle fairings. Even though they're small parts, I've been struggling with the details. Seeing you paint a wheel makes me genuinely happy, especially with how small and full of curves it is just like a motorcycle fairings ❤❤. -chatgpt My english is bad 😅
@@hanifgubar2662 it’s the same process. Prep work is everything no matter what your painting. Solid prep work will produce a solid finish product. I have painted a few fairings and have had great success.
Usualy I use Walcom Ego for wheels, due to rim small area there is a lot of surface tension and there won't be any orange peel, and I can leave small gun at full fan, I use 1.0 so I can even go 4 turns out on fluid.
Brian, what is the difference between a "high-build" primer and MS primer? Or is it the same thing? You have touched on primers in your various videos, but what about a dedicated primer video? (Epoxy / Edge / MS / etc?) - Maybe include paint sealers (again) in such a video?
Uk diyer: I've done a few sets now and boy do they require heaps of prep time our side of the pond! I struggled with 4 17's on a large x- booth stand and would love the one you have on demo - even just a single wheel version would work.

I’ve watched this video countless times just admiring how those wheels came out and wanting to follow the same steps as you so I could hopefully acquire the same result but I think I’ll be going with a full gloss on mine instead of the semi gloss, But do you have the paint code for the silver I’m really loving the paint
Hi Brian i have been watchng your vids for years from England and have learned so much it has been invaluable, when you mention sealer, what is it you use, is it what we call a primer coat ? kind regards Steve 🤩
I have a question about humidity . Because you live in Florida, i imagine its very humid there . How much do you focus on it when you paint at your home shop . And how will "high" humidity effect the process. Thanx Brian I've learned alot watching your videos.
Hello Brian. I saw the short of you painting the accord wheels blue. I thought they looked cool. But you repainted them silver. I thought they looked more fitting on your beautiful black Accord. Brother please keep your family safe. I heard there is going to be another hurricane heading toward you.
Yes. The silver really in my opinion is a mature look and fits the car better, hurricanes, headed our way, but not the eye, hopefully it’ll just be bad wind
Did you match the color back to original Volk or something different? I know you mentioned the clear was Autoclear M4, what was the Akzo paint code you used?
Since the quart is mixed 50/50 with the appropriate reducer, it then becomes half gallon. 1 gallon can paint entire car/truck, so half gallon hould be enough for 2 - 3 coats.
@PaintSociety I did my rims after taking your consistent advice over the years. That is the last year of using paint cans. I have gotten excellent results, but I'd prefer a proper job when the time comes for repainting my front and rear bumpers of my 04' Passat Wagon. I've got an old-school Paasche dual action airbrush and a hvlp gun with 3 different size attachments with all the proper hookups for my air compressor. Same size 6 gallon pancake u had when you had your 1st or 2nd video showing how to paint in your garage. I understand that I need to go larger when it comes to jobs that are more than just sections at a time, but thanks to your suggestions, tips, and thoughts spoken as you go. My results are hard to tell if professionally done in comparison to how I started. 2 much of something is never a good thing, so I hope u get a chance to reset yourself when u get frustrated. We all appreciate the work u put in on top of what you do. Giving 100s or more the confidence n knowledge to come out with good results, so thank you.
You did a great job painting those wheels but i don't recommend these types of wheel stands. I have a simmilar one and as long as the wheels are fairly light there's no problem flipping them over. It's when they get bigger like >19" when things get a little rough. You might not be able to grab them by the barrel like shown here sometimes you just have to grab them from the bottom and top and you're risking leaving glove marks on the paint. Another thing is some wheels have the inner bore shaped in a way that when you flip them it will be touching the stand's axis (eg. BMW Styling 87 - look it up) and then the job is ruined. I speak from experience. I once saw a stand where the axis are positioned at a 45° angle and it's a bit higher so you can paint the whole wheel simultaneously.
High Desert Ca. checking in, do you know where I can get Clear spray paint, rattle can, that spays in a fan pattern,I have been looking at "National" auto parts stores(chains) no luck so far!¡¿¿????
Dupli-Color does. You can twist the tip to spray vertically or horizontally. I use it all the time spraying model cars. The 1k clear is the best I've found to date. Auto Zones & Advance Auto sells it.
Confused by this comment, the wheel weights were taken off not sure what video you’re watching, that was an authenticity and wheel spec sticker I taped off
Around the 2:00 mark when the wheel was on the stand there was some yellow tape on a strip that appeared to be cover a strip of wheel weights. Maybe they were removed later.
@PaintSociety yes, I have seen that many or length of wheel weights unfortunately stuck inside a wheel. Typically by bad tire shops. Wasn't arguing, just stating what I think the other comment was about. One can see when the wheel was being sealed and painted there were no wheel weight
Well, I will say that living in a european country where the curbs are made solely to annihalate your wheels, chances of you damaging your powdercoated wheels are a million times higher than the paint degrading within that same timeperiod, so there's really no point in powdercoating wheels
No disrespect, but why not bead blast the wheels, followed by powder coating? Faster, more durable and taking account of the cost of time, not too expensive.
Wheels should not be powdered coated. I need to teach you how to paint wheels. Your stand is a very good beginning for sure. Wheels for perfect "PRO" restoration must be blasted. But not blasted like 99% of people that hit it with their regular media and destroy everything. There is a specific 0 dust media super fine for aluminium and metal if you want 0 damage. It grinds down to 800-1000 grid. Then you epoxy the wheels using some of the best epoxy on the market, and then you paint using your usual painting technique, but using specific hard clear coat. Powder coating is junk. Unremovable, unfixable and ugly. I have never seen a single person restore and paint a wheel to perfection on the internet in my 40 years of restoring things. Love your videos obviously. If you had no clue, I would not bother commenting. Also, you need Mini gun for wheels and car parts. Something like SRI Pro Lite or the new PRO LITE S. Wheels painting is difficult.

Hi Brian i have been watchng your vids for years from England and have learned so much it has been invaluable, when you mention sealer, what is it you use, is it what we call a primer coat ? kind regards Steve 🤩
Would you use etching primer after sanding aluminum wheels ?
Epoxy is stronger
I have a question about humidity .
Because you live in Florida, i imagine its very humid there .
How much do you focus on it when you paint at your home shop .
And how will "high" humidity effect the process.
Thanx Brian I've learned alot watching your videos.
Higher humidity equals longer flash times between coats.
I usually just use PPG Selemix DTM on wheels it sticks to anything. Just use a Ral code when you want a color.
On peeling chrome aluminum explorer rims do you have to sand all the chrome off first
great job!
Hey Brian do you have a video talking about those nice calipers you got ?
It will be up soon on ahc garage
Thx for sharing. Is sealer same as self iching primmer? Also, can you spray basecoat and clearcoat straight orver self iching primer?
Sealer is thinned out primer. Yes, base and clear over self etching primer.
Great Video. Question: But is Powder coating better? And what to do about curb rash? 😊
Yes, absolutely

Silver looks good, hate colored matched rims
Did you match the color back to original Volk or something different? I know you mentioned the clear was Autoclear M4, what was the Akzo paint code you used?
I matched it as best as possible to a friends mag blue. It was e44397
Nice wheel stand. I think I'd pull those spindles off and plasti dip them
Is sealer just white primer ?
im guessing you fixed that massive run in the first wheel you cleared?
No massive runs
What is the color code for that blue?
Was there some runs in the paint on the first wheel around the lip as you were about to spray the clear coat?
No runs in the paint, but sometimes that camera can make it look tricky. I noticed the same thing.
I did too, but as the wheel was turned it wasn't there.
Do you ever need induction time between mixing the paint/hardener and adding the reducer/spraying?
Depends. Usually on epoxy i have seen it
@@PaintSociety ok thanks brian. So you dont usually see it other than that?
@@davefoord1259 correct
What camera you use for videos
Quick question how far would a quart of paint go I’m trying to paint the short bed of my truck but not sure is a quart will do?
Since the quart is mixed 50/50 with the appropriate reducer, it then becomes half gallon. 1 gallon can paint entire car/truck, so half gallon hould be enough for 2 - 3 coats.
@@phillipgrandison2384 thank you so much!
