Very nice work. And great idea getting the hub painted at the same time to match. Really helps complete the look without it looking like there is a hole in the middle of the wheel. Nice work !!
I got the paint at “the paint place” in mount gambier SA. So I am guessing most paint places would have a similar kind of paint on hand in 5L drums. You’d be pleased to know that 2 years later they still look great 👍
Just because I was on a budget and thought it’d be a cool video to do for those who can’t afford or don’t have access to sandblasting! Obviously that would provide a better result, but it’s achievable without it too
Yes I actually used the same paint for bullbar, rims, and towbar. It’s a PPG fast-dry industrial semi-gloss paint. I talk more about it in the towbar video I think
Description says "All you will need is some soapy water, sanding tools and paint"....omits the need for a paint spray machine & angle grinder...also if you don't take the tyres off, won't the rust be running rampant in the bits you didn't get to?

What type of sand paper and wire brush do you use ?
looks unbelievable. willl be doing same with my troopy shortly!
Quite talented mate, good job that was well thought out, Love your passion re Landcruisers
Turned out really well!!
awesome ... dint know it was this much work.. good job!
Again, great job, any hints on where to find the paint? Can't for the life of me find that one on the interwebs :-(
I found this PPD paint at the local paint place. I imagine any metal industrial semi-gloss black would do the trick!
Looks great
Thanks so much this exaclty what I needed for mine
About to do this as well where did you get the paint I’m trying to find where to get it supercheap auto? Cheers looks good

@@WillsLandcruiser cheers mate
@@WillsLandcruiser how much paint to do just the rims you think?
@@mkf648racing9 from memory, probably 3 out of those 5L at least
@@mkf648racing9what sandpaper grit did you use
Isn't it not advisable to paint the area on the hub where the rim is seated
Why not use a sandblaster?

What type of paint did you use :)
And can you use the same paint for rims and bullbar/sidesteps etc

@@WillsLandcruiser Thanks heaps! I'll check it out now

Cool entertainment. But for me, have the tyre off the rim, sandblast it then powdercoat it
That would be the proper lasting way to do it for sure. But this is a good one for those who don’t have the facilities and are on a budget 👍
