Always really good videos. Thanks 👍
Nice one steve
Great Video! Thanks!
Excellent video, no waffle and explains what do if you’re broke and don’t have the top equipment
That is exactly how it was intended
Really, amazing job!
Thankyou
Top stuff. I've got a couple of spray guns but never know how to set them up properly, especially with a 2K clear. A video on that if time allows would be awesome! Learnt loads so far
Noted buddy, Thanks for watching!
Great video and lovely English accent thank you from Australia :)

Lovely work

After I watched your video I order from you hopefully I’ll give it try and n see if I can repair my wheel rims.excellent video
Good luck 👍🏻. Don't forget I have other videos In wheel repair too
Great video explained very well
Glad it was helpful!
Love your videos
Thanks Chris
I really like your video
Looks good 👍
Thanks for watching
Great video great channel
Thanks kkk
Nice job 👍
Thanks 👍
looks great 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks pal
Looks great when you have the tools!
I think this is easily applicable to a diy set up
Can you send me list of tools please
amazing, i think it would be doable for a reasonably competent diy,er. . thanks for your video, could have done with this in the 70/80s, Cortina wheels and the like. cheers rodders
Glad the video helped mate
Thanks
Really good job 👏 i have all the different grit sand papers and some resin, sanded, filled and sanded afain ready to paint. Is it ok use hairdryer instead of heatgun?
Nice method. Can't be bothered refinishing an entire wheel for a little curb rash. But a paint pen touch up wont do either. Will give it a go.
That's exactly the point of this video mate 👍🏻
I couldn't understand when you said the color of the silver. Sounded like moon silver? Great video!
Little decreaser on the tire helps. I do this same exact process. But I think I'll adopt your sanding routine, seems better.
I used degreaser 👍🏻
@CVR POV ah did ya? I must've gotten mixed up. I think it's funny that we both do wheels and have a youtube channel lol.
@CVR POV do they pay decent? Over here it's a bit of a hidden gem. People make around 80k a year where I'm at repairing rims.
@CVR POV checking out your channel more now, which type of body work did you start your company off with?
handy channel this one
Thanks for the support
Awesome
Cheers
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
Really instructive, I’ve got 4 to do but I will be taking them off the car, looking forward to giving it a try now !
Great stuff
GREAT!
Thanks
This is the right way to do it. Kudos! 👏 I use pretty much the same technique. Each time would cost $175, but it is almost free to do it myself...after buying sandpaper, compound, spray paint, tape, and some paper.
Nice work mate
Which Equipment you use,good Job.
When I repair a wheel I've found it easier to use some paint sample metal panels rather than masking the tyre off. You can get them right into the edge of the wheel and it's much quicker than masking off.
I use these too sometimes
When the tyre hugs the rim really tightly they can be a nightmare. Fall out so easily and can catch the repaired area, if the paints wet you're back at square 1 and it's infuriating
Same crap with armral interior cleaner that really does not clean the car interior wash with damp rag dry then dampen a rag in olive oil and apply a light coat of the oil it will actually miniatures the plastics makes them look like new and can be removed with soap and water unlike armral expressly if you need to paint down the road ..
Great job on fixing the rim.
Wrong video?
Thank you for sharing you knowledge and your experience!!
My pleasure!

Great video. What's the model of the sander please
Probably a cheap ebay one if I remember. Or my cordless drill milwaukee
can u do this same method on wheel lacquer bubbling?
I am curious how do you figure out what paint color to use?
What sander did you use? Was it the 50 or 75 mm? Cheers
Hi great video, is it necessary to apply the lacquer whilst the paint is still drying or could I apply the next day for example?
The lacquer has to be applied withing a time frame and leaving it overnight is too long
Just curious do you have to fill the part of the rim that’s been sanded?
Wow, great job. Do you have any videos on how to fix aluminum polished rims? It would be the ones that come as stock rims in dodge challengers. Thanks in advance.
Check my wheel repair playlist
Can you recommend a tool that can be used to sand/grind as well as polish.
Whats the product to remove the gunk off the wheels pls?
Great video! Can you tell me what your spray gun is set at so it only comes out at that little?
I use the lph 80 from iwata for these tiny repairs
Good job! I have a little different issue that maybe you can help with. Forged Aluminum wheels with a brushed look mostly, but the higher ribs are sanded glossy. The glossy ribs have several damaged areas, such as chips, dings, shallow cavity areas. So it would take a whole lot of sanding and lowering of the ribs wholesale, to get to shiny levels. Or, is there a way to say put Helioarc aluminum in first to fill and then sand? Thanks!
Maybe check out my other vids in wheel repair playlist mate
A couple of friends who are more skilled than me, said the damage is beyond cosmetic so don't buy them@@cvrpov
Very good.....Didn't cover up the brake disc s...lol
Might of eaten into my 10 minutes lol
Lmao
@@cvrpov Love it mate
Are you using 2k lacquer ?
Good job...
If you did use rattle cans would you recommend any type
Most base are ok but source a good 2k clear
@@cvrpov ok thanks pal
You can use old pack 3:25 of playing Cards between tyre & wheel
Yes I've done this before
What size compressor would you use for mobile work to run those die grinders, DAs, etc and to paint?
90 litre 3hp abac belt driven
@@cvrpov thanks a lot brother
Fade out thinners in a spray can to melt any over spray edges .
Yep If u have some
What should I paid for a repair like this in scotland uk per rim?
Great Video, is it not worth masking the brake pads / discs with a plastic bag ?
Yes it is worth it
what tools did you use? for painting, sanding etc?
Watch the video or my other videos
Awesome man! But, how do you know how much to sand down? Because you might end up changing the shape of the edge so it looks different to the surrounding area?
The further you sand down the further you Will need to feather out
@@cvrpov nice one, thanks man!
As a professional i would have thought the extra 30 seconds it would take to apply a cover over the disc and caliper behins the wheel would have done 2 things.
Show you care
Stop any over spray of silver or laquer fron potentially showing up behind the wheel.
i was about to say the same thing .... even down to ramming a bit of cloth "in & over" , away from paint area
Hi mate, how did you know primer wasnt needed? When should primer be used?
I've done many wheels without primer which is frowned upon. They seem to hold up fine tho without
What is colour code for the silver wheels
Do you get any over spray. If so can you buff it out?
yes and yes
Are all silver alloy wheel paints the same ? All I can find in cans is a silver alloy wheel paint. Nothing too specific like paint codes etc. I have a 2013 VW Golf
Ford moondust silver is a good allrounder
@@cvrpov thanks again
Hi mate,
Is it possible to re-paint it with spray paint and clear coat aerosols?
Yes definitely
what is the best website or book for rim paint codes ?
What colour do u need
how did he avoid painting the brake discs behind the wheel ?
👍👍
How do you find out the colour of paint for the wheels?
A good general colour is ford moondust silver
Realistically how long does it take for the paint to dry using this method? Everywhere I look it says to allow 24 hours to cure but as it’s my daily driver I need to use it still. Is there a specific paint brand you use?
Use a fast drying 2k clear
@@cvrpov thank you for the response, i really appreciate it
Is it safe to go through a car wash and pressure wash these rims etc after they have been repaired and dried?
yes once fully dried/cured
Interesting that you don't use any primer or adhesion promoter. Is it gonna peel away from aluminum if you don't use any primer?
I have painted wheels many times with no issues. I did my father in laws 2 years ago with still no problems
@@cvrpov thanks, good to know
Being a complete novice 🤣 would it be easier for me to lacquer the the hole wheel?(wheel of car) am not to confident and ending up with a line where tape is. Av sprayed with satin black paint for bits on a motorbike before. But never a lacquer/clear coat. Thanks stu.
I'd you feel more confident doing that then do it 👍🏻
You're never gonna see that small of transition on a wheel
How much would this kind of repair cost?
Oh and what grit is that scuffpad pls?
What colour alloy paint was that? Couldn't hear over the noise. Cheers ❤
Moondust silver
I did this in a brand new rental bmw. Good times
At least you could fix the problem
The instructions on my base coat rattle can say to wait 24 hours before putting on the clear 😮 does this really matter?
I'd recommend not doing that to be honest. 3 coats spread apart. 5 - 10 mins apart then wait maybe 10-15 mins and apply clear
So how much that cost to a customer ?
Worthwhile buying a spray gun if i have the compressor ?
Defo
👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
💪🏽👊🏻
Your talking like we no what 180/130 grip means can you please explain? You say 130/then go up to 180 grip which I don’t understand why you go up and then down ? Do you mean the diffrent roughness of the sanding paper? Also is their a special sand paper? Or can I just buy paper from any DIY? If so would I ask for a 180/130 grip is that what you mean?so I mean dose grip mean the roughness of the sanding paper? I’m wanting to do this to my car and I’m no mechanic or car re sprayer I’m nothing so could u poss explain these things to me??also how do you find out what Color silver your mini alloy is?where can I find this out??also I don’t have a spray gun like you do so this video seems really for people who have all the needed tools so is their anything else I can use? Uno when you get the correct Color paint dose it come in a spray tin? Is it possible to use a spray tin as i Dnt have what you have? I’m quiet good with spray tins but iv never tried on a car alloy. I hope this makes sense? I no it’s a lot of questions?
Maybe watch some other videos. I've done loads. You will get the process and understand the grits. The lower number the grit the MORE coarse it is. Ie 80grit being very coarse and 1500 grit being less course
@@cvrpov ok so can I used standard wood paper or dose it has to be a certain type of paper? And is it possible to sand buy hand as I do not have any other option . Also how do u find the correct silver Color for the alloy wheels that’s needed ? I can’t imagine getting the right Color in a tin is easy? As that part id also have to do buy hand ?
Why not mask out the brake caliper behind too? Spray must have got through
I'd recommend doing this yes
2k clear?
Yes
That is a new clip yes or a old clip my friend.
New one
@@cvrpov Good to see back on the tools.
Hola, Laca?
Hello yes lacquer
Where can I get the paints for this exact colour from? As spray cans
Base, lacquer etc.
Amazon sell lacquer and maybe some base off ebay?
You will have some lovely silver breaks as a result of your technique tho
just a quick one this
How much do you charge for something like that?
This was a quick 35.00
CAUTION: Spraying exposed brakes could allow for brake pads to become, "gummed-up", reducing efficiency of braking power, which could lead to increased risk of a crash. Remove the wheel or properly protect the brakes before painting.
I'm not a fan of paint on the brakes.
Nice job but much more than 10 minutes.
10 min video
You should have taken off the wheel, you painted the brake rotor. The customer's braking performance will be affected.
One good break and it's gone
Your brake pads will remove any paint from the rotors except on the centers the first time you apply your brakes.
The pads will quickly remove any overspray to the disc the first time the brakes are applied. But if you have red brembo’s, silver overspray will look sh1t on the calipers.
But won’t fouling the pads also be a problem?
Don’t be ridiculous. For a repair like that? I did this kind of work for many years. Removing wheels, especially new BMWs can bring a whole load of pain ie: anti theft systems.
A bit esoteric for me. I feel the nice guy presumed prior Knowledge. Didn't understand much.
