Wait 20 sec., pressure wash. Repeat as necessary. Use steel wool if needed] • Now if you're restoring painted wheels you would simply scuff them with a grey pad like this [show grey scuff pad to camera] then apply your paint [show preval sprayer w/ silver paint] and then your clearcoat [show clear coat]. • But because these are bare aluminum wheels with no paint surface, we must first sand them with 220 grit sandpaper [show sandpaper], then aply primer [show primer] then apply silver paint [show preval sprayer w/ silver paint] and finally apply cleaer coat [show clear coat]. • Sand with firm pressure, being sure to sand the entire face of the wheel, even deep in the spokes. [sand the entire face of the wheel] • Clean the wheel surface with wax and grease remover. [clean wheel] • Now mask off the tire. I prefer to insert playing cards between the wheel and tire. [insert playing cards] • Cover up your brake rotors with a bit of masking paper. [insert masking paper behind wheels] • Apply primer in multiple light coats [spray multiple light layers of primer]. • I've waited 20 minutes for the primer to dry, and I'm going to smooth it down with 600 grit wet sandpaper. [wetsand wheel surface with 600 grit paper] • Wipe dry. Now spray multiple light coats of silver wheel paint [spray wheel paint]. • It's a good habit to rotate your wheels a few times by driving the car backwards or forwards a few feet so you can see if you've missed any important spots. [drive car forward about 12 inches]. • Once you've allowed your silver wheel paint to dry for 5 minutes, apply your clear coat in multiple light coats [apply clear coat] • In about 10 minutes, your clear coat is dry and you can remove your playing cards and masking paper [remove masking paper and playing cards]. • End.
