@7:23 You can use an old school plastic shower cap to cover your rotor . Works slick !!
Finally someone that knows what they're doing! So many idiotic rim painting videos on yt. This one is great.
Wow, thank you man! I appreciate the compliment!
Well done man! Thanks for the heads up!
I Love That U Stayed ON Topic And Didn’t Ramble On!! Great Tips! Thanks!!👍
Thank you for the compliment!
Simple and straight to the point. Thanks man!
Wow.Those came out great.Thanks for the tips.Even with the 'painters'version of masking tape,it was a super pain.
I've got to repaint my huski black rims would i need to undercoat ..or just paint the black on .
Great video! Love your content, keep it going please
Simply......clever!!!! Genius man!
Great find. I'm a do d same on my new honda xr150l. Thank u for this. Ride safe!
Thanks for watching bro, I hope they come out great!
Bike is looking good man..
Thanks man!
Bro nice job...great idea definitely be using that trick...just subscribed
Thank you brother! I appreciate your comment! Thank you for subscribing!
Great job!!! I will be using this one!!!👍
How did it hold up? I did black plasti dip and it was ok but seems to get a permanent dusty look
I might do this to my kx 100!!!!
How does it hold up after? And what about when you’re power washing the bike after every ride. I like to keep the bike clean after every ride. Subscribed!
I have had problems with RustOLeum Black also. Fisheyed on a couple of spots.
What did you use to clean the wheels before painting?
Great job.
Great vid and thank you. Paint choice is my topic of question...
I have done this in the past with the same great results in aerosol mete black fashion.
The problem I’ve experienced is sand/dirt dinging the rim from prolonged abuse over time with the end result having my rims looking like 💩 more than before. This is from paint choice. I keep researching before my next re-do and I’m still stewing in my thoughts.
Gun paint might hold up very well, wheel paint, powder coating, ceramic paint, but not regular off the shelf spray paint.
Any good first-hand experience out there?
Hey bud any updates here? What did u use? Did it stay on?
Joseph T: Hope all is well in your moto world. I haven’t repainted my rims yet because I’m in the northeast and I’m awaiting warmer weather so I can do it outside. I bought some PJ1 Fast Black (Porcelain Hard) as advertised but I’ve yet to use it. I also bought a Tusk Rear Rim/Spoke kit but the fronts are still unavailable. I’m going repaint my rims soon enough just to try out the PJ1. Prep and cure time is critical. I’ll likely put the rear in the oven once it’s semi-dry, but the front won’t fit. A good heat bake at about 200 degrees makes it harder.
try using VHT epoxy black spray paint, they sell it at auto parts stores like auto zone, its really strong stuff and holds up good against rims or on the frame or anything else.
Thank u so much for this video!!!
I'm glad you liked it!
I used the same brand Rustoleum for my primer paint and then clear coat and it didn't bubble and it turned out great
Hell yea dude! Maybe the humidity was bad when I used it or something but I'm glad it worked out for you!
Rustoleum paint black and that steel clean primer?
The rustoleum enamel (black) works well if that’s your final coat. If you’re going to add more coats of color or clear stay away from enamel paints or wait for it to fully cure not dry, but cure.
You should try “spray max 2k clear” it’s a 2 part clear in a can. Same stuff that’s on a car’s clear coat.
Nice!!! Good Job bro... just painted my 1990 yz250 frame...
Ran into the same problem with the clear coat😳
i’m gonna do my rims now thanks to your Video..
I wonder if you can use an etch primer on aluminum rims?
I’m thinking about doing this too. I’m having trouble finding the same exact black paint you used because there all sold out on Walmart’s website. Have you tried any other paints that worked well?
It doesn't have to be the same brand I used here in the video, but I do recommend using the same brand for primer, base and clear coat. And yes, I have used Rustoleum, Krylon and the Walmart 87 cent cans; all have worked fine.
looks great. nice work
John B thanks john!
to use rustoleum clear on there own spray products you have top let it dry for 3 days to fully cure before applying the clear coat. I have had the same issue researched it, and then tried the 3 days and it works perfect!
fantastic work man
Thanks Mo!!
Great vid helpful tips 👍
Can i do this to my aluminum rims with same paint and primer
Hey mike I just bought a 2005 limited edition banshee... mint condition original tires still in it... I’ve been doing some mods.. I bought Alba nerfs but now when I ho to kick start it the back of my foot hits the net bar ...any solution ???
You can always modify the heel guard to give you more range of motion for your kick. Aftermarket parts sometimes take a little bit of finesse to make them fit/ function right.
Note cards.......brilliant!!
I liked the video after seeing the black rims they look so good
Awesome video bike looks nice man and do the hubs green that would be an good video . Thanks
Would it be safe to put these on my Honda 125 without having to take the wheels off
Some of the other people commenting said they didn't take their wheels off. Just be careful.
In my case my excel rims are already black but faded and have chips on them can I just straight up spray the black again or do I need to rough up surface, use primer then coat in black? Thanks!
Roughing them up is what makes the finish last longer; I'd probably follow the same procedure as if they were painted. Just remember, the finish won't be as durable as powder coating but it will freshen up the wheels and it usually lasts pretty well.
@@MichaelSabo Thank you
Do u have any issues with the paint chipping
lovely stuff
Will this work on four wheeler rims 2006 Polaris Predator 500
The painting methods and index cards, yes
After primer dd u use immidiately ur base coat or u wait a few minutes?
Try to wait 20-30 minutes depending on the primer you use, but I try not to wait longer than an hour after I prime.
Tnx bro.👍
proper prep is the key regardless of the method you choose for color change.
100%
How long did you wait between the primer, black paint and clear coat? Also, how long did you wait between the layers of each? Thanks! great job
Thanks man! Primer dries very quickly, I usually only wait about 10 minutes between the primer coats. Don't wait more than an hour to spray your color over the primer. Depending on which primer you use, this one in the video is designed to be painted over before it is fully cured to make a better bond. Depending on how humid it is where you're painting, I generally wait 15-30 minutes between color and clear coats; I will usually wait until the "wet" look goes away. I give the color paint at least an hour before I spray on the clear and in VERY thin coats. Don't spray to thick or you will get run and sometimes fish eyes. Hope this helps!
Yes, it does. I used your video to paint the silver rims on my 2007 CR125, came out really well. I did run into a few spots where the black paint bubbled and cracked a bit, not sure what caused it. I just sanded it down and re-painted the specific spots. I do live in Florida, so the humidity is typically really high. But, now it is a little colder, so the humidity is lower than normal. I used the same paints you did as well. I am getting ready to paint the silver rims on my 2011 yz450f.
Awesome man, thank you for this feedback. Sometimes no matter how much I clean the rim, i still get cracks and bubbles. Best advice to avoid that is to make sure you're making your coats thin.
How many coats of everything did you use?
how well does this hold up in the trails ?
I think they look really good
Time to polish the spokes or put spoke sleeves? Great job on the paint. Looks nice.
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Iv had the same experience with clear coat wrinkling. Paint must be cured before applying clear coat. Also clear coat will wrinkle if applied during unsuitable cold temperatures even on cured paint. On cold days i will leave my spray cans out in the sun to allow paint or clear to get up to an suitable temp for applications.
Do you recommend using spoke wrap?
You could but straws is so much cheaper and the spoke skins would be ruined with over spray.
What the durability of this? Not looking for something I’ll have to redo in a year
Do the wraps make good Spoke Protectors or their mostly cosmetic?
If you buy actual spoke skins, yes. They're much thicker and will provide protection. The straws though, I would not recommend; I just use them to mask the spokes and prevent over-spray.
just saw this and look awesome.. I am about to do my rims soon, ill let you know how it turns out with your methods
Awesome man! Yes, let me know how it comes out!
Didn't work.. Started to bubble after I put the clear coat on.. So I Sanded, and power washed all of it off.. Then used a wire brush to beat up the rim a little more.. Then did it again with different spray paint, and no clear coat.. and then it worked..
It was probably my fault, I probably messed up somewhere.
For whatever reason, sometimes the paint bubbles or gets fish eyes when you put the clear on. I think it has to do with cure time and humidity. 99% of the time it doesn't bubble up on though if you let the base coat cure long enough.
Morgan Sanchez how is this holding up on your dirt bike? Chipping?
Great results bro! Good channel too. Were the songs just for filler or are you a fellow metal head? 🤘
Nice
Thanks man!
FYI you should try a Rim clear coat they make a special clear coat for rims might make it more durable.
I've heard of this but I have yet to try it.
Are used to do this mattress except I would use a giant cooking pot and flip it upside down and it would cover all the areas of the spokes in the caliber
You could leave the the straws on or something or use them to make colord spokes
You could, I'm not sure how well they would hold up though.
Playing cards work well also.
Yes, they will!
Hey mate how many cans of black do u Usually end up using
I usually get 3 cans per 2 wheels and I always have left over; it's just good to have extra.
The thinner the paint the better (meaning final thickness on the rim). You only need enough to make them black. Then the clear coat. I use this same technique but you can leave the wheel on the bike and I use an industrial coating (uses hardener) and a touch-up spray gun. Way more durable than the spray can paint. Use a paint pen for touch ups if necessary. Use a Motion Pro rim protector or equivalent when changing tires. Good to go!
Smart

I thought u were putting spoke skins on the strokes but anyway great video!!
Thanks man!
That's what I thought. I guess it's a how to paint wheels instead 😂
Do you think a frame would last if you did this
What's the use of painting the rims when the spokes still look like shit? I would have take it al apart and polished
the rim and rechrome the spokes, and that's the way how it should be done.
Nah man that's just the way you would do it. This way is much easier and cheaper and the wheel doesn't need to be re-spoked or trued. These are things that a lot of people can't do on their own or afford. This method works fine and it doesn't look like shit either. Thanks for the comment!
How are the rims looking today?
I can just imagen, but i hope iam wrong (mine did not last long)
IvicaKX450 I sold this bike a while ago. The kid that has it now sends me Instagram pics and it looks like they're holding up.
Ok sounds good, Cheers from Sweden
You should use Uber Spokes, they are used for masking off the spokes
Wait, didnt wacth till the end, my bad
haha no worries man!
ActVII uber spokeja myyää vaa suomes
Looks good man. does the paint chip?
It still comes off, but it's pretty durable. All comes down to your prep work. I've done quite a few bikes this same way though and it holds up pretty well. When you change a tire your going to make some marks, but if you touch it up after you barely see it.
Could you get the powder coated
If you wanted to, yes.
i thought u would keep straws on... bc it looks pretty cool like that
You could if you want; I don't know if they'd hold up though.
AllNight21 worst thing I’ve ever heard
Hi, will this work for chrome wheels too???
Sarath es it will, but chrome can be tricky because it is so hard to bind to. Make sure you take extra time to scuff up the rims and make sure to use a bonding prime and it should work.
Michael Sabo so SHOULD i use 2 primers??
No, just a bonding primer
Prep patience and knowledge.. you can paint near anything.. but you must complete every step properly. Don't rush to the end result,take your time or you'll regret the end result.. not everyone can spray paint well.. most don't listen and skip steps half assing their way to a drip covered paint chipped mess.. don't paint rims people will see unless you can paint lol
I hit the sub button asap when you shook your head no, with the mask on
Lmao, thank you bro
First time I've ever seen someone split the chain to remove the rear wheel...
Hey man I really enjoyed this video would have never thought to use straws and cards like that it looks really nice I might try this on my wheels!!
Yea man, makes masking off way easier than tape! And it can be re-used too. Thanks for the compliments!
Now I need to go to McDonald's and steel straws🤔😄
Dude, that's exacty what I did lol!
Michael Sabo you got me dying lol.. Honestly it actually looked better in my opinion with the wheels black and spokes red. I'd of left them on.
You can get red spoke skins for that. The straws wiggle around and might rip off after a few rides. It did look cool though
Michael Sabo just ordered a bunch of colors from ebay🤘👍
Michael Sabo You stole them from McDonald's and your work? You work at McDonald's?
Where do i get the steel wool from ????
You can get steel wool from Walmart man; any hardware store will have it too.
Michael Sabo thanks and the paint u used aswell? And btw I showed my mechanic how u painted ur rims he wannts to take off my tires and charge my like 500 he said u did a really good back yard job
el malo lmao yes i guess you could call it a backyard job. 500 is way too much man! Even if he's putting on new spokes and powder coating. The paint can be bought at Wal-Mart too. It's just basic rustoleum and a good primer to use is the bonding primer from rustoleum.
Actually estimating that job...Dismounting and mounting tires, tubes, dismantling wheels, powder coating, relacing with new spokes. $500 is a great price. It would be Cheaper to buy preassembled aftermarket wheels or just do it the way Michael did. Turned out great!
Damn bro, you fuckin killed it. Probably gonna save me almost $1000. I would’ve never thought of this haha. I’m definitely gonna try this. Huge thanks
Today they put the straws on in different colors to go with what ever you like on your rim color spoke color rim color mix and match black wheels and white straws look nice gives it that fat look that tough look
You have the same stickers as me but I have a Yamaha and green right mmm s
Which bike
Those straws looked pretty cool so I didn't paint my rims I just put straws around the spokes lol
HAhahahahaha!! That's awesome man. They make spoke skins just for that if you want different colors.
Michael Sabo lol yea but there like 20 bucks and I have a crf250x and red straws just look the same from a distance
I can dig it dude
Great video man great idea just to share a tip with you before painting try steel-wool over the rim surface. It will hold the paint real good
D Moto’s vlog he did that
Hello
I bet that after one ride the rims are for another painting, true?
No. I've done quite a few rims this way and sold some of them to friends who still ride on them. It's not powder coating but they hold up well if you take your time and prep correctly.
going from silver rims to black rims makes a huge differance.
when I put my spoke skins on I left my wheels on my bike I just put my bike on the stand
To paint them? I guess that would work, just spin the wheel.
One ayer late but am see'it
Cuanto duro la pintura
Dam right after I put my wheel spokes on I find this video
You must work at McDs
Didnt even bothered taking the brake disks off!!!! “I can make it real professional” “done this inumerous times” steel wool!!!! Lol this dude is siiiiiiick
It's a simple quick mod. Sure you can remove all your spokes and powder coat the rim if you want. There are many ways to get the same look, it's your choice how you do it. This is just a video of one of the ways I've done it. You sound like one of those girls that is never happy, no matter what she gets 😃 I hope your boyfriend does something nice for you this Valentines Day!
At 7:59 right near the top, does his front rim have a crack around the edge?
I don't have this bike anymore but I think that was a mark on the rim. I'm usually pretty good at looking over everything, especially if I am painting. I could be wrong though.
Ok I just figured id mention it cause I had the same happen to me.
The cheap spray paint works better than the expensive hands down
He takes all that time Mark and everything off taping everything off and it doesn't put like a paper plate over the rotor.
Jeffrey Poirier it’s fine
what happens when you wash them with pressure washer
I use a 3000 PSI pressure washer on my bikes with no problem. Paint just has to be prepped correctly.
Can you believe how far
Your channels come mike???? Proud of you man
You dont have to take of the chain btw
Or you can buy spoke skins and get any color
Don’t needa take the chain off to take the rims off
Yes but this is motocross not superbike - stones / roost / tyre irons / jet washing - what do they look like after a year?
You remind me of Officer401 anyone else watch him too and catch that vibe?
Just checked out his channel, that guy has a huge following. I'll watch some of his videos.
