BE SURE TO WATCH PART 2 – I repaint the wheel for a much better finish!
In this video, I attempt to paint one of the alloy wheels with no prior experience, only access to Halfords, B&Q and the internet.
This is NOT a How To video, but me sharing my experience of doing this with you. Enjoy!

Flap disc or drum sander would have been so helpful. Good first try.
Good job thank you for sharing with us, we all learn as we go
You identified what you did wrong when you did something wrong and from it you've learned. Trial and error is the best way to learn anything and I respect you for uploading this and pointing out what not to do haha. All these people hating drive their parent's car and any damage is paid for with daddys money lol, Awesome video man, I learned from this and am now pretty much ready to do mine 😀

Ok at first I was going to say what a idiot, but I respect what you have done here , well done for trying you had the balls to have a go not many people would try
So many people tried slagging you off without reading the description or listening to what you're saying! What I want to know is how many cans of primer/paint/clear coat did it take? I wanna do my 2 winter 16s for my audi but they're not gonna need filler, I just wanna tidy them up
szar lett
Good effort man!
Thank you for your experience. I haven't driven in 3 years since I passes my driving test. Finally got my car and started to practice. One thing I noticed when I came back was scratches on my rim and I can't even remember if it was there before. I think I must of scratched it when I was parking. Bummed out since they were new rims. I seen some of ChrisFix video and planning to do the rims. Not now since it's winter, rather wait till Jan to do it but in the mean time, learning how to do it properly. I glad I watched you video and nice insight. Professional makes it so easy but I think this is a valuable experience to have. The material doesn't cost much, only your time but if you learn this skill, then you can carry it with you. It cost in the hundreds to get it done by a professional.
Anyway, question, how did you decide your alloy color, I was thinking of going to Halfords and buy the paid from there or did you buy from a garage?
