Cost Effective Solution
Take a look at the wheels above. I bought these to put on the old Honda CRV I bought as my winter driver. I found them on Facebook Marketplace for $80 total! There is no damage to the wheels, but the clear coat was peeling in several areas and the overall condition of the paint was poor.
With a little bit of work, these wheels can be cleaned up and repainted to a like-new condition. I am also going to change the color to update the look. If you follow the steps I share below, you can achieve the same results with your wheels for under $40.
Keep in mind a professional shop will charge $125 per wheel to repaint them. Do it your self!
Prepping for Paint
It is important that the wheels are clean and the surface prepped for paint. Your final paint job will only be as good as the preparation you put into it.
I am showing you how to paint wheels that do not have tires installed. You can definitely paint wheels that have tires installed (in fact, I think it is easier and cheaper to do). You just need to mask off the sidewall of the tire before painting.
I will be painting a set of wheels already mounted with tires soon, and will share some more info at that time.
Here is the series of steps to follow:
Very nice job Mr. Nanny
Thanks, Glenn.
