Amazing Wheel Restoration From Super Rusty To Mirror Chrome
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- I decided to try to restore a very old and super rusty car sprae wheel by giving it a chrome mirror new look.
At first, I tried to remove the rust mechanically, but I realized that it would not be possible to do without sandblasting. The sandblasted rim has been painted with 99% zinc cover to protect the rim from corrosion. I covered some of the gouges and pits with putty, followed by a sanding process and a coat of black paint.
I mixed chemicals to prepare chromium solutions according to special formulas. This was followed by Hydrochroming, a continuous process where a chemical reaction coated the rim with a film of chrome. This work was interesting for me, if you liked it, please share and press Like on this video.
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them in the comments.

I would've thought chrome plating bath would've been the steps involved in this process. Never heard of hydrochroming before. Looks neat.
this process can chrome wood materials as well.
I wanna try it out with customizing hot wheels cars now
Search for mirror silvering, that is all this is.
@@abpsd73 yes similar
To much work
Durability? It looks great, but will it hold up?
You can buy a new steel rim for 45$..he has days wrapped up in a rim where that chrome will be flaking in 6 months
You must be fun at parties

Just admit that you're a typical lazy one.
But what price do you put on R&D?
What is the value as a proof of concept?
What price do you put on learning, developing, practicing, and mastering a skill?
high risk of breaking your hand and arm 5:30 !!!!!
What do you mean lol
@@MauriceNL1i think he meant. 5:03

Calm down karen. He's a professional. Don't try this at home.
Amazing. Appreciate the amount of effort you had gone through to demonstrate this option. Its not easy. Simply put.
It's amazing.
Looks good.
Amazing result, the wheel looked beautiful❤.
Youre a wizard harry
Good job looks really nice
The starting wheel was perfectly fine 😂.
very good video
Amazing!
WOW, impressive and excellent job!!
👍👍👍
Kind regards from Mallorca, Spain.
Очень хорошо 👍👍👍
Cool
Красота ❤
Its amazing !!! how you did this?? ITS AMAZING!!!!! NICE JOB!!!
Nice Result😊
Heard of brush plating. This would had been great in the '60's & 70's as our poor man's mag was a chrome plated factory rim. Will this hold to the elements?
nice work
Absolutely brilliant!!!! Love your channel ❤👍🏴
Good job good job. 😎🚘 😀👏
Amazing
Very Impressive🧐
До первой грязи😂
genial y que? productos utilizaste?
no gloves amazing
Gerat job
Very Nice! What is in those 2 spray bottles?
2 components of chemical chrome solution
@@LowMileageChannel I've heard that the way you've done it is particularly difficult, based on the measurements of the fluids involved and the time they have to work - and the time to rinse th solution. Beautiful work, btw!
I really need your recipe for that hydrochroming solution, and how long does it actually last?
Nice job, it looks amazing
Ver good Thank you❤
Thanks for the man or woman who invented sand blasting, you would not never clean that rust any other way. Great result and very good video!
its possible to clean in other ways, but sandblaster is more faster.
Spray on "Chrome" will start peeling off in no time. Strip it, send it out for real triple chrome plating.
No, it wouldn't. Painted wheels last 10 - 15 years, depending on conditions of driving.
If you have too much money, better gold-plate them, while you are at it
No Bob is right. so- called chrome paint only lasts a few days, that’s why we don’t all have a can of it in our garage!
Where do you get the kit
Nice job.
What's the name of Chrome solution your using? Great finish
Looks Great!
hi , Is it possible to choose the combination of chemicals used to make chrome solution?!
Amazing job, thanks for sharing.
Looks great, what a difference
I got the same results but with different grit sandpaper and soapy water. Very time consuming but worth it.
凄い！
１本出来るのに何分掛かるのかな？
How you chrome that with plastic spray bottles ?????
This is hydrochrome chemical chrome solution.
If it’s a soft plastic paint it will only last a few days max.
Who chemically chromes NV200 rims?
What sorcery is this?
chemistry and magic indeed have this affinity!
great video! any link please to share this magic chrome finish formula, craving for it right now.
Coming soon!
@@LowMileageChannel can you say The grain of The sandpapers and name of materials and paints please??
How much time did it all take from start to fininsh? also great work :)
Brilliant. What the chemicals for chrome and where to buy them?
Search in google for "hydrochroming solutions chemicals" but its not cheap, I recommend to make it by yourself.
@@LowMileageChannel thanks for replying.👍
Alsacorp makes chrome solutions
Spraydose...😂😢😢😢
💯👍😎✊💯
Wie lange hält der Lack?
Pretty cool,but isnt a new set of steelies relatively cheap?
I think the whole process was for the video.
Only three more to go. No, wait...
It would be
I wish I had a pound for every time ive been told chrome is a process NOT a paint finish. This just too unbelieveable.
Nem Parece Aquele Aro Enferrujado !!!!!!!
How do you move your hand that fast?
Мы не знаем что это такое... Если бы мы знали, что это такое, но мы не знаем что это такое
There's no way with big flakey rust that it started with, that it came out that smooth before the putty! I've cleaned wheels with way less rust that had DEEP pits 🙄
Canadian snow tires
I’ve heard about that Canadian snow. It’s like normal snow but just the retired version 😁
@@philtucker1224 all ours look like this
It’s any chance to make old videos public again?

Whats the recepie for chrome chemicals?
It is a mix of about 10 types of chemicals. It must be mixed in very precise proportions. Maybe I'll make a video about it.
Can you chrome plastic with this method?
yes of course.
I need Chrome combination, can you post the combination tutorial?
Plan to make video for this.
One.
what are the chemicals used to chrome the wheel and in what dosages?
It is a mix of about 10 types of chemicals. It must be mixed in very precise proportions. Maybe I'll make a video about it.
@@LowMileageChannel i would like to learn about that absolutely. 💯
@@LowMileageChannelPlease make such a video. I would love to learn this method. Thank you
@@LowMileageChannelplease make a video on this
Where are als they car restoration video’s?
RUclips removed them.
What kind of chemicals do that? Make chrome, and where do you get them?
It is a mix of about 10 types of chemicals. It must be mixed in very precise proportions. Maybe I'll make a video about it.
What chemicals used for chrome?
Several components, basically the reductant and modifier mix and a chemical reaction takes place.
Краска?
No, its chemical chrome solution.
@@LowMileageChannel выглядит достойно :)
Cool, cool, and now, as the mechanics say, there are still 3 left XDDD If the mechanics had so much fun with one rim, these rims would cost a fortune.
Amazing job but....why waste that time and resources on a steel, cheap wheel?
wasn't it interesting to see the whole process to make it possible?
@@LowMileageChannel it was super interesting and, as i sayed, amazing job. Im just honestly curious to which point is it worth to restore such a cheap equipment to that state...Im not demoralizing what u did.
Daremna robota.
You can put in video what is that chemical mix 1 and 2 , how much of what. Than will be HOW. And what is it wet agent.
Wet agent is just distiled water with dish washer foam. 🙂
Nice resilt, but personally i hate chrome wheels , well done
何をしているのか字幕を入れて欲しい
Strip it and paint it basically… 😑
It's a shame that it's painted rather than polished.
It would Rust the first day you drove it in the rain, unless you polish it then clear coat it
Repairing a curved wheel is madness, and a waste of money. It's cheaper to buy a new one.
I don't get why ppl hate on the guy, maybe this is just his hobby. The fake ambient I do agree makes the vid less watchable tho
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I bought some chrome steel wheels for my Hilux about 20 years ago and wondered how they chrome plated just the face of the wheels. I found out that they where done using this method. They where shit and rusted away in know time. Never again have chrome wheels on a 4 x 4 . Not worth it .
Amazing? When having a load of spare time on your hands... put it into makeshift restoring something with longevity close to none.
Still paint
Did he really put a body filler on a steel wheel? 😢😢😢
It's ok but hardly AMAZING especially that finish, was expecting a miles better end result with that headline. PFFttttttttt.
you put a hell of a lot of work in that how long will it hold up
You certainly didn't get those results with the sandblaster that you were using. Your putty hardener amount was way too little. And what's with the fake garage background noises? I'm calling it fake on the whole job. 👎
The worst rattle can technique I've ever seen too.
Its has to be true its on the internet 😅
Apparently you’re ignorant to hydro chroming is real 😂 might want to educate yourself before making a fool of yourself.
Absolutely 100% BS
Snide video
All that effort etc for a stock steel wheel 🙄
Only three more to go.
Проще было керхером отбить эту ржу и так оставить.
So you waste time at start with wire wheel than you sand blast it ...why such stupidity
На алюминий можно положить такой хром?
без проблем
Fake. There's no way you'll get that rust pitting out with just a wire wheel and some hand sanding. You swapped it for a better wheel is my bet.
No fake is here, but you are right i used industrial sandblaster for some places of this wheel.
