I did the same thing back when I had mu bubble caprice but I used the metallic gold, passed for old school center golds unless you were closer then 5 feet away
I can restore them for 60 bucks. It can take two weeks turn around to get them back to you. I am currently restoring another set 84-87 tails. Also have a guy sending me his set from Florida.
All I did was prep the wheel like clean it really good. Dry it off then I used a air compresser to blow off the extra water that could be hinding then I wiped it down again. Then I masked it up and use rustoleum primer I use about 4 coat on that let it 5 minutes each coat then I use four coats of gold 5 minute apart and then unmask it so the paint won't stick to tape or peel off.
@@briank3799 No i'm not. The Chinese gold is junk. For the price I would rather have this or skip all the way over to USA 24 karat gold plating. Nobody that knows gold plating likes Chinese gold. I like a 5.00 can of this better than wasting my money on that.
Not talking shit kuz I’ve painted a few spoke wheels in my life but u can’t compare gold dipped china wheels to spray paint won’t get the same shine but hey you gotta do what you gotta do.
My brother I did a demonstration on my riding lawnmower with some primer & some chrome paint (( automotive)) & then hit it with some chrome metallic spray paint,,man that came back very very nice like all get out,,the (( key)) is to let it dry real good,,man I'm glad it's some good dudes out there like that would good ideas & intentions,, appreciate at that & thanks for the tip..
I would recommend cleaning the rims with wheel acid first, then also make sure you get primer that is meant to stick to chrome. Otherwise it may flake off when cleaning. Another idea might be to use Plasti dip white first, then paint the gold over the dip paint. I tied painting my spokes years ago and it flaked off. I’ve been dipping my rims ever since. But that’s just my own experience. I can’t speak for others.
@@esschuele6336 I've been thinking something similar for my wire spokes. They are Rusty but was thinking about blasting them with silica and self edge primering them. I've been hearing a lot about plastic dip is it practical to do in a garage and be able to reach in all the nooks and crannies? It would break my heart to see the rust spread again
Well to be honest I haven't even bolt them up yet, they been sitting in thr garage but they still look good. But if I did clean them it wouldn't be high pressure water other than Cleaning the lip... But I'm working on getting my regal back on the road I had to replace my head gasket.
I will give u this tip...paint those chips with a high gloss black..the glossier the better...let it cure really good..a single stage rustoleum works great...then u can get a can of spaztix paint on ebay for 9bucks...dust spray it over the black....whalaaa...try and and let me knw wht u think...u can also do it to any other metal with the same steps....the only con...dnt clear coat it...it will dull it...leave it as is
@@mrhuero12 sweet!!...just lightly fog it on there....and let it dry a few minutes...then with a kleenex...lighty wipe wht looks like overspray off...it should look good
@mrhuero12 on knock offs I would use some soft grit sand paper scuff them up really good so the paint will stick real good and put at least several coat of paint just incase chipping.. But if u want to paint them I prefer powerder coating since it's much thicker.
I wiped them down before I masked them up.. Spokes were rusted and pealing I made sure most of the peeling were off before spraying. These wheels was just rollers wheels so this method is just somthing to make them look some what decent.
@jrburger1987 got. A filter on the video so hard to see the actual.results , but looks good, what paint was that bro or what kind do you recommend for that nice shiny gold daytons look ? Appreciate it 🙏
Thank for the video. Just bought a set of 14s with minimal amounts of surface rust would love to paint them gold. Did you scuff the spokes with sandpaper at all or did you just clean them up and started spraying them
I clean them up really good I didn't bother sanding them since the cleaner I used was already eating the chrome up.. So I just primed them and spray them.. I was thinking about putting some clear coat but didn't have any at the time.
@@666SeeR999 I used this thing called mofo wire wheel cleaner when I notice these spokes was rusted I knew it wasnt going bring the chrome back, but it was eating away the chrome since the chrome had minimum wear and breaking off the spokes and the hub also washed it down with dawn soap and a sponge.. Then I got a cloth towel and wiped down and got a air gun and remove all the access water before I apply a paint..
Not bad homie ive owned a few sets of spokes that were painted to match the cars i owned not a big fan of painted rims but if there old and if this brings em back to life then fuck it

I just bought some used 18 inch spokes there pretty beat up but this gives me motivation to spray paint them
Yeah if they are beat up and rust it's best to paint them nothing else other than expensive to rechome them.
Nice jale homeboy !! This can help out lots of ppl in the Lowrider movement!! There’s many that can’t afford some high dollar ones !!! 👌🏻👌🏻

Hello I was looking at another one of your video where u Restore 1981 Buick Regal Taillights and I need my done the same way how much that go for
I can restore them for 60 bucks. It can take two weeks turn around to get them back to you. I am currently restoring another set 84-87 tails. Also have a guy sending me his set from Florida.
This is a real good way to fix a rusty rim that can't be fixed. Good video homie
Nice, but I wonder how long it lasts. Wheels get a lot of abuse from road conditions and fluctuating temperatures
Would be more durable with a 2K clear coat
Brotha ur video gave me inspiration to get down on my rims
Then I turned it in to a part time hustle
Gracias
Glad it help you out... I still have other wheels to restore... I haven't got to it to make videos but.. I'll do some more soon.
Lovely masking 👏
mask game was on point
Thank you for responding I really appreciate i also have another question I have the tire on the rim do still think I can do it with the tire on?
Yeah u can do it with the tire on it as long you cover it good enough so u won't have paint on the tire.
@@fidelaleman8579 🤣😂
Perfect!!!!
Boop boop
Why did you paint them blue just to go over it with gold?
Good work 🦾
Can you Tell what did you use for the rims like the tools ?
All I did was prep the wheel like clean it really good. Dry it off then I used a air compresser to blow off the extra water that could be hinding then I wiped it down again. Then I masked it up and use rustoleum primer I use about 4 coat on that let it 5 minutes each coat then I use four coats of gold 5 minute apart and then unmask it so the paint won't stick to tape or peel off.
@@jrburger1987Thank you for responding I really appreciate i also have another question I have the tire do still think I can do it with the tire on?
Damn looks better than that Chinese gold plating straight from China. Also looks better than spending almost 2,000 dollars for China center golds now.
You're tripping if you think that fake paint looks better

You did a good job homie
Curious did you try clearing them for better result. I got a ugly set i was gonna try this on. Looks good tho

Say bro it kame out good 😎💯I like it sure better then paying 2o 3 grand fr a set haha and still looks tight
Thanks homie... I do what I can to make them decent... Sold them for 100 bucks to my cousin while back..
@@jrburger1987 Daaam bro I wish I kould have gotten em Ha and yea karnal they kame out good ese 💯
Would this process be the same for the knockoffs?
Looks good bruh,,can you do the same with chrome spray paint coz I was thinking about doing the same thing with mine...
Yea I'm sure you can
How have they held up since you painted them?

jrburger1987 oh okay; thank you for the info
@@jrburger1987 how did they end up?
@@kanob6440 sold them to my cousin he painted them black since he didn't like the gold.
Good job folks.
Thanks!
how are these holding up now? thinking of spraying a set I have where the chrome is the same condition
I sold them so no telling how they are now.
@@jrburger1987 well the fact someone bought em generally means they were good 🤣🤣🤣 imma try it on mine
I got the inside of the lip flaked off some chrome you think I could paint it chrome and it will look right ?
Yea but if they make chrome paint.
They look good I'm get ready to do some b laced goldbacks to all golds they are rusty and peeling pretty bad. Nothing to lose honestly
I will give u this tip...paint those chips with a high gloss black..the glossier the better...let it cure really good..a single stage rustoleum works great...then u can get a can of spaztix paint on ebay for 9bucks...dust spray it over the black....whalaaa...try and and let me knw wht u think...u can also do it to any other metal with the same steps....the only con...dnt clear coat it...it will dull it...leave it as is

@@mrhuero12 sweet!!...just lightly fog it on there....and let it dry a few minutes...then with a kleenex...lighty wipe wht looks like overspray off...it should look good
Awesome 🍻
Thanks
Think it would work on the knock offs? Any suggestions on prep?
@mrhuero12 on knock offs I would use some soft grit sand paper scuff them up really good so the paint will stick real good and put at least several coat of paint just incase chipping.. But if u want to paint them I prefer powerder coating since it's much thicker.
Not bad looks good!!
Why the blue first.
It not blue it Grey primer
@@jrburger1987 ok it looks blue
Nice 😎👌🏽
This is amazing!
No clear coat ?
Nope I didn't have no clear coat.. beside they wasn't going on my ride.
So u dont wipe or strip them down or prep just start sprayjng huh
I wiped them down before I masked them up.. Spokes were rusted and pealing I made sure most of the peeling were off before spraying. These wheels was just rollers wheels so this method is just somthing to make them look some what decent.

They look pretty good...not bad..i would use them on a cruiser
Thanks... Reason why they was used wheels laying around and could just be used for anything.
What brand primer is that
Rust-Oleum
What primer you used
Rust-Oleum primer
@@jrburger1987 that was the blue stuff before the gold? ( blue primer)
@@beecnote7742 its grey primer idk why it looks blue.
How long do you let the primer dry before applying the gold?
The can says dry in 15 mins I wait it out for and 1 hr find my self occupied doing something else then come back shoot the gold over it.
Nice, thanks man!

Man bro can't believe u wasted wienerschnitzel coupons should have used thrifty nickel or newspaper
No prom or it would have liked it more legit
I won't paint my rims
These are used and the spokes were rusted and pealing.. Not daytons.. These are china's... Nothing fancy and not perfect.
@@jrburger1987 im putting 13x7 on mine don't know which one
@@mathewmaldonado3570 if I prefer I would go with gold spokes... That I wish I could have but I have priorities first. Maybe next tax season.
@@jrburger1987 im getting it from sams kustums hydraulics
Looks cheap
It was cheap cause the spokes were rusted. That's why it's cheap. Common sense...
