How To Fix Heavily Corroded Wheels - Silver Metallic Powder Tips
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 окт 2020
- In this video we explain how we go about fixing corroded wheels. These wheels are off a Mid 2000's Ford vehicle and are a machined wheel. These wheels are typical for having bad corrossion as they just clear coat them from the factory. We will also cover tips on gun settings, spray technique and how we do them!
Also in this video we try out Rim Strip from Express Chem, we are only stripping clear but it did give us a good idea as to how there product matches up against B17, so far so good and at a much lower price. We hope to test it a bit more on more difficult coatings soon. Check them out at this link: powderstrip.com (please note we are not being paid for this review, but did receive chemical to sample-our review is not influenced by manufacturer at all)

Real curious why you acid dipped to remove the clear coat. Wouldn't the sand blasting serve the same purpose?
Yeah I’m pretty sure it would I think he was trying to plug a product considering his hired hand didn’t know how to properly rinse them
Needs to be dipped. Then sand blasted
Blasting isn't for stripping, it's to create the proper surface for powder adhesion. Stripper is for cleaning. Blaster would clean but take too long and risks digging ditches in the wheel.
That’s amazing how well those came out.
Thanks for the info. Good to see vids coming up on your channel again.
Great video, I've never done powder coat but it is amazing how it works. Thank you for sharing.
Best part is the guy getting told where to rinse the wheels off at and his responce was to exhale loudly and say so much work. Nah solid video definitely an amazing business you have going.
Yeah, they dont like it when I tell them what to do haha. He did ask me too if he needed to sign a doc to not claim any monetization from the video. lol.
Lol gotta clean out the rinse tank afterward that’s why
@@RightNowPowderCoatingthat should be in the employment documents if you are televising your business
Have the worker spotlessly clean the area. They will never rinse out of that tank again.
Love the Bud light shot!! Wheels look beautiful.
You have an awesome set up! I dream about having a shop like that, all the professional grade equipment you could ever need within a few steps from each other! Also really appreciate all the tips on gun distance and settings.
it only gets better...i stared with the eastwood gun and a home oven... No I sell million dollar systems and they make me feel tiny.
Very nice. About to do my first job. You’ve been So helpful, thank you.
They look great man! Thx for tips!! I’m customer will be pleased!
Look great. Im taking notes as I have the same Gema.
Turned out great, those rims look just like my friends old ford ranger rims. Really like the silver finish.
Great job mate, they really came up great considering the way they looked. All I can say is, haters are going to hate! It’s your channel role with or without music, keep on keeping it real 🤙 I enjoy it all. Thanks 🇦🇺
Thanks for the kinds words!
Very good work. Wheels look awesome.
Thats a impressive job you guys did on those rims! From poop to perfect. Outstanding!
They do look great good job
Nice work.Thanks for the tips on the gun settings.
happy to help

How much would I expect to pay for this kind of service?
Awesome and your knowledge sharing is appreciated
thanks, I appreciate it!
Those look really great. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks!
Great video. 1st time viewer. U seem very down to earth. I love watchn powder coating. Items always look so good. 👍
Powder coating is very addicting for sure. Thanks for stopping to say hi!
Nice job, great info
Very clear explanation and instructions as always. I would be interested in some tiger wet black in the near future if you stock that color. Thanks Dan!
We always have it, let me know!
Great video and fantastic job on those wheels. Dumb question for heavy corrosion from salted roads: when are wheels best scrapped rather than attempting to re-finish? I've read lots of contradicting answers
They look awesome
I appreciate you teaching people at all levels. I see a ton of tips for people at the pro level. But also I really appreciate you busting out the Eastwood gun for the diy level guys like me. I just started powder coating some parts of my motorcycle and will try some stuff for my car and my dads boat and I’m grateful for the videos you put out. There are a lot of 💩’y people with 💩’y comments but I’m glad you can ignore them. Aloha from Maui
I really dont mind the negative comments to be honest, there not putting out content....if they can do better have at it. I like helping others...not trying to put out professional content that is perfect.
😊😊😊😊⁷😊
Great video. I always throw a high build primer on first when the wheel is hot to cover most of the corrosion and any imperfections that I might have missed in the blaster. Hitting it hot also helps to prevent dotting on the powder if you’ve not out gassed for long enough. Something which can often happen with heavily corroded wheels. Also easier to see any areas that might need a little extra primer as it flows out as soon as it hits the wheel. Primer is usually much cheaper to buy than the colour you’re powder coating so long term it can work out more cost effective to primer the whole wheel on a corroded wheel and then second coat the face and inside bowl with the colour. All depends on customers expectations I guess. In England our weather and the products used by the local car washes means we’re forever doing corroded wheels
Great job
Appreciations from Denmark! 😄🙋♂
Great job well done
Love the video! Thanks for sharing. What kind and size of compressor do you run? I don’t think my 5hp duel stage would do it Lol. Keep up the great job 👍
Hey love the videos what model of gema unit do you have looks like it sprays really well
What kind of cabinet sand blaster you have please the brand. I appreciate your knowledge you know what you doing excellent prep and your gun set up to creat a perfect cloud.
Great video! What kind of sandblasting tip are you using? I see you're not using a gun.
I've been using a scat gun and it keeps clogging 😑 what you're using looks much more efficient! Would love to know more about your set up! Thank you in advance!
I've been watching a lot of your videos! I'm using b17 as well, but I'm looking for an alternative.
I just subscribed to your channel, your content is great!
Another awesome job and video. I wish I had your knowledge, it would help out on my little jobs. My brain is like a steel trap, it's just rusted shut. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the videos.
thats probably my new favorite line.... my mind is like a steel trap just rusted shut! haha, happy to help.
Is it weird we are creeping on you at 5am Dan?
Ps.. it's Danielle ;)
@@AdultsOnlyMagic yes because I assume you didnt sleep yet.
@@RightNowPowderCoatinghey Dan I powder some atv rims gloss black but I didn’t like the way they came out so I stripped them do I need to sandblast them again?
What size is the strip tank? How many gallons does it take to cover 4 wheels? Is it just mild steel and if so what gauge? Was wanting to build one also.
Try hot flocking a alloy primer on first , that'll hide the light corrosion, that's some gun , that clear coat went on very nicely .
What do you do with bad pitting in the bead area? Do you fill them or grind them first?
whats your actual cool down Temp ? i start the second coats at about 120-150 degrees, or would it be better at a much lower temp
as always great video ! but a question reguarding the clear, noticed that its not looking wet and smooth, (looked like it had some peel to it, or maybe just the camera picking up the silver unsder it and showing it so its fools the eye, but what are your go on acrylic clear? ive tried it and im sold, the clear flows and lays so perfect every time! keep up the good work
we have not tried any acrylics, afraid of the silicon in them.....but I will be trying better clears in the future.
100% better. So nice
All the best for you, buddy. You do great work - just remember to thank your audience for their comments but don’t think for a moment that you’ll please the vocal minority by changing things like the music for them.
It would be different if the music was 3x as loud as the rest of the video, but in reality it’s mostly unobtrusive, and that’s what you want in a topic for a wide audience.
Comment storm for that guy at RUclips…Al Gorithm.
How does the cost of this service compare to buying an after market rim?
where the F@$& was this guy when i wanted to start powder coating.... i gave up since no one had a clear explanation on this. great job man! i've watch like 5 videos in a row right now #Subbed!
Haha I appreciate it, thanks!
What does a job like that cost?
Great information only thing I could recommend is explaining your tech talk as I’m now more informed on the process of powder coating from a visual step by step process. . F***k the haters !
Just interested in your cure time for the second coat of clear
For someone at home and a DIY’er - is the only option lots of sanding to get a good finish? I notice you had that blasting booth and that was awesome! Would the steps be sand, wheel buff, polish, and then clear coat for someone at home?
no buff, just sand, clean, coat
All I would add is try using a high build primer on corroded wheels it will hide the pinholes and give you a super smooth base to lay colour on also I hot flock far quicker 👍
yup this can help, it really comes down to the customer and their budget in my world. some just want them better and some want them perfect.
You do awesome work! Where is your shop located (if I may ask)? Asking from CA.
We are in Iowa
Hi, Im new to this, just bought my dream truck and the original owner powder coated the oem chrome wheels in black, those wheels look nice but I really love the chrome, is posible to remove the black powder coat and just apply a new powder coat in chrome? just like oem factory... What do you recommend? Thanks🙏🏻
nope, dont do that, chrome sucks and its not great to coat over, really bad if it has pitting or corrosion. Buy new wheels, way better and cheaper.
How long do you bake them for ? What temp do you bake them for? If you lay them down vs hanging them would that effect the drying process when baking them ( damage the finish)
depends on long it takes to get to temp, we dont lay them down to prevent falling debris from hitting the face
What size of blast cabinet do you guys use?
So the clear is also a powder coat? Not a PU clear like in autobody repainting?
How do you stop the ali from corroding, do you phosphate dip the wheels?
Im buying a new set of wheels and am wondering.. Can powdercoating “hide” rim cracks? Could someone try to hide a crack with coating it? Thanks :)
About how much would that cost to do all the rims like that 17”
What blast media do you use and what pressure
Hi, when I coat metallic silver I find any dark spots show through. I started using primer to help this. What I find with the primer is he rims need to be very hot for primer to stick. Any help?
Dark spots as in not enough powder to cover the part? I have not had this issue personally. Primer is not a bad idea though.
Hello .. Im trying to paint my wheels.. Actually they are Crome and very bad shape.. All shops say Is not possible, any suggestion how to get rid of the crome so I can paint them.. Thanks..
After the sand blast do you re rinse the wheel or just blow off the sand before coat
We wash them and then dry, then coat
Thumbs up, great info.
Hard for me to believe it’s worth the amount of labor to restore these wheels. Looks like a many hours of labor and energy.
How much did you make per wheel for all of the trouble? Was it worth it? Or was this demonstrating that you can bring a wheel back to life?
Insightful comment. No, there's no point in putting this amount of professional time into wheels that you can pick up for less. Either bodge, or replace, this process is a labor of love.
Amazing
great video,but didn't see you fix anything,just did a normal powder job?
Thats the key, blast corrosion out and coat!
what media did you use?
what heats you oven ? infrared heat to heat only the object or heat the whole box to set temperature?
what ever flamer thrower came on it, lol. its from columbia coatings
do you carry any of the tiger flip flop colors? Sunrise black or Tropic red?
Not at this time, we mainly carry basic colors, we get most of our small batch colors from prismatic powders at this time. If I had enough demand for a certain color I would be interested in ordering for many.
Just trying to find somebody that carries these to flip-flop colors. I’m interested in a couple pounds and have no problem paying their extremely high price for them. But I just can’t buy 5 pounds now and I’ll only use 2lb. I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks always for your great content
Lexus wheels are usually pretty bad too. Turned out good!
them and toyota..same thing, really bad, horrible manufacturer
What's the process for getting a nice finish with corroded steel. Primer ? Seems I need a filler but what ?
you can fill with primer, sand it down, fill again if needed, then to color.
Hi, great video! How do you work around wheels that have heavy corrosion like the wheels in your video? Don't you deal with outgassing issues without using primer?
That would be the answer personally I prime all my wheels with outgas forgiving prime. We will sand corroded spots at that point therefore using it as a filler reprise if necessary color and clear

how big is the air compressor you guys run for the sandblast cabinet
We have a polar air 85cfm
What media did you use to blast the wheels? Sorry if I missed it!
Coal slag
@@RightNowPowderCoating Thanks for the reply. I assume crushed glass shouldn't leave too agressive of a profile then on aluminum wheels? Thanks again!
Looks really nice how much does it cost?
Exactly what I was wondering.
@@krich5755 wondering the same here..
How much would something like that cost to get done?
Is chemical stripping about the only way to remove old powder coating? Sandblasting?
Not only but easiest
where are you guys located?
What's the top left button for.
How much would something like this cost??
If I just asked for a silver powder coat woukd my wheels turn out like this?
Let me know when are you selling tiger powder really interested
email me with request.... dan@rightnowpowdercoating.com
How much is the cost of that
Can you do some auto badging/how do you do it. (Emblems) older metal ones thanks,very good videos. Thanks
What does a process like this cost per wheel?
Hi location of the place
What does a job like this cost?
Id like to buy some powder from you guys . I do have a tyger account but I don’t want to buy 20 plus pounds at a time so this would be very helpful. How can I do this ?
I can definitely do this at home ... after I built a pro shop
How much does it generally cost to redo 4 rims?
They charge $185 per wheel to $250 depending on the wheel, you can do this at home for $20 for all wheels
@@MSami-fe6uj I've got a rare set of aluminum 13" blade style rims from a Honda crx that have chips and chunks missing from the lip in the aluminum.
Do you have special hooks for rims
Nope, we hang a swivel hook and then just a s hook in the valve stem area...no issues with thousands of wheels done that way.
Why not add a wheel primer then silver? It really helps fill those pits with 1-2 light coats.
I recommend a marine air fan. Simple 12v setup that will clear up blasting chamber/ visibility a ton. Also, adjustable flood lights work great as a cheap "after market" light with cheap bulb replacement vs led
could you use a primer here? or didnt the customer want that?
Yes you could use an epoxy, then sand it smooth, honestly after clear these are really nice, and its on a like a 2005 so prob not that big a of deal.
@@RightNowPowderCoating cool thx! 👍
How can I get in touch with you
Heard plastic blasting is better on wheels is that true?
um...what? Does not sound like it would leave much for mechanical grip.
Nice work, but the inner edges of the rim are the business zones. Aside from the off looks of the rims in original state, They leak air. The resulting outcome of not paying a lot of attention to the rims inner lips result in consumer useless, pretty dishes. A spin on an old tire balancer or lath using a bit of sand paper tends to actual fix the issue. Coating the bead surface professionally helps to protect the beads from unscrupulous tire changing tech as well.
What was the cost for this job? How does your powder coat with a clear coat added perform? How long does it last. How do you clean it. Will it last for several years and not peel, flake or crack? Your viewers will want to know the answers to these questions.
No sand blasting will only cause etched rims with clear coat on them meaning they will be destroyed
Those wheels are from at least 2007. They have the valley for the Tpms sensor and metal band. 07-11 really
Live in Minnesota those are not very bad at all
What does it cost to have wheels coated
Really depends on location and color, we start at 135 each
Which RAL colour? 9006?
Its a silver from APC
