Thanks for another great vid.
Hey Chris! What if we want to paint our rims a different color? Would we use the exact same process (considering our rims have scratches too)? Or what else could we add/remove?
That’s a lot of work now I know why they charge so much to repair them.
Hi Chris, I have watched this video a few times as I have the exact wheels. My wheels are in the exact same condition as yours were. If I had to pay someone to refurbish my wheels like you did what kind of cost am I looking at?
Just learned what the numbers on the rotary tool are for. Chris fix for president 👍🏾
What if I wanted to respect the wheel? Could I do some of the refurbishing then put on the spray then do the clear coat?

Did not work for me.
Is all that aluminium powder dangerous to the environment?
…back when soapy water was still just soap and water.
spraying clear coat lol what a concept…
This guy is full of shit. You need 2K paint & clear or epoxy paint, or powdercoating. This crap will last 2 weeks.
If I started a repair rims business, how much should I charge per rim? How much would I have to invest in the proper equipment?
wow i would buy new rims
You need a rotisserie like a cake spinner to put your wheel on . You will get more even paint
That's called "feathering out " the scratches
this is how strippers rims your money
Hey Chris would this work on glass black rims?
Scratched my rims. Now I have to do this
That is a flap wheel, bro, not disk. Just sayin'.
6:16 “sit back and let the stripper do it’s thing” 😂
Tried this, somehow, ended up doing brakes. Wtf 👀
This work for gunmetal rims too?
Hello Chris and everyone. I have a question; Would these steps be the same as for magnesium or any other kind or color of magwheels? I would assume that it would
Fantastic video, ready to get started!
jeez wouldn't it just be easier to sand down the scratches and repaint the rim?
If I'm just putting plasti-dip onto my wheels, do I really need to bother with the clear coat stripper and polish after sanding out the scratches?
I noticed you put the stripper in a plastic bottle. How'd that work out for ya? Lol
My aluminum rim has a slight “glitter” finish. Where do I find that OEM paint?
I kinda like strippers on my skin…
Yeah, after buying all of the tools and materials I might as well just buy new wheels.
Destroying nature with carcinogenic chemicals is not a heroic act. It is better to work inside a closed place to not expose others to carcinogenic diseases. Do not prepare for such irresponsible work
Nice 😎!
Can you just sand off the clear-coat instead of using chemical stripper?
Wot about the inside look to fanatic
You're an excellent teacher, and that's not easy.
Well done lad!
