Quite often, car owners express a desire to restore their wheels in order to restore them to their former attractiveness. And if usually no one bothers with classic “stampings”, being content with treating the surface with spray paint, or just a brush, then with cast models everything is a little more complicated. In the absence of painting experience, questions often arise: is it possible to restore or change the paintwork on light-alloy wheels, and how to do this? You can find detailed answers in this article, which we hope will become a good step-by-step guide.
What should I check before painting?
Restoring the exterior of a disk is usually resorted to in cases where its surface has been scratched or worn out during use. In addition, the paintwork sometimes deteriorates under the influence of reagents and aggressive external environment, and because of this the wheels take on an unpresentable appearance. Also, many “gourmets” repaint the wheels to match the tuning of the car body.
In any case, before painting, you should check the disk for any deformations that may occur during prolonged use, heavy loads and impacts, which is not difficult at home. To do this you will need to inspect:
- All surfaces are checked for cracks and dents.
- Check the rims for chips.
- Places of adhesions, if any remain after repair.
In addition to a thorough visual inspection, you should carry out. Small deviations in the readings of a broken or crumpled disk are, in principle, acceptable, and then you can start painting. If the damage to the disc is significant, and the balancing shows significant deviations from the norm, then you should think about purchasing new wheels.
Required Tools
Companies specializing in this field, before painting the disc, remove the old paint coating from its surface using sandblasting machines, and then powder paint and a special varnish are used. The whole process in this case is automated and is not suitable for home use.
If the decision is made, and painting will be carried out on our own, then you need to stock up on the following tools and materials.
- Fine and medium sandpaper, grit 400-630 and 63-80 microns. She will be cleared of the old paint coating.
- Solvent or white spirit, which will be used as a degreaser for the cleaned surface.
- Shredder for old paint, as well as a shaving brush or brush for applying it.
- Spray cans of paint (2-3 pieces) and special varnish.
- Primer and spatula.
- Masking tape.
In addition, of course you will need detergents, respiratory mask and work clothes. This minimum required can be picked up in any specialized store or car market.
Selection of materials
As for the choice of paint, varnish and primer, things are as follows. Automotive enamel will the best option for painting wheels. It is advisable to choose a heat-resistant one, which also sprays like an aerosol. It is sold in cans. You can also use heat-resistant enamel in jars, but to apply it evenly you will need a spray gun, and this extra expenses. Many people believe that only basic colors (silver, black and white) are produced for these purposes and are mistaken. There are no restrictions, and the widest palette of paints is available on the market. Choose the tone and shade that your soul desires. Primer and varnish should be purchased along with paint. Most manufacturers offer some kind of kit, where all three components come in one line. Thus, they all fit harmoniously, and you will save time on searching and selecting components. It is desirable that the soil is also heat-resistant. The varnish will perform protective function for a new coating, and also give the disc shine. You can paint the disc completely (front and back surfaces, as well as the rim) or only with outside. In the latter case, restoration will cost approximately:
- 2 cans of paint.
- 1 can of primer.
- 1 can of varnish.
If you paint the entire disc, then the consumption of materials, and therefore costs, will increase by 3-4 times. Now decide for yourself whether it’s worth it or not.
Preparatory work
First of all, you will have to completely remove the peeling paint layer. To do this, first, you should wash off the old paint by applying a paint remover with a brush. Next, you need to wait about a quarter of an hour, after which the paint will begin to swell and come off, which will allow us to remove it with a spatula. This wash does not work as effectively on the soil layer, so you should get rid of it using sandpaper.
On the cleaned surface, you can leave some of the old soil in hard to reach places. However, you must make sure that it is held securely on the disk.
If you are painting the rim of an unmounted wheel, the contour of the rim over the rubber should be sealed with masking tape. This will save you from subsequent washing of the tire, which, one way or another, will get paint components. The last stage of preparation is degreasing the surface of the disc with a solvent or White Spirit.
Dyeing process
We divide the entire painting procedure into three stages.
Primer
A layer of soil is applied to the disc by spraying from a can from a distance of 30-35 centimeters from the surface. When applying, care should be taken to ensure that the substance does not leak. You need to apply several layers, with 10-15 minute intervals between each application. It is important to know that after finishing priming, it is best to wait 12 hours until the primer is completely fixed on the surface of the disk. This will ensure maximum good result, and will save you from disappointment in the future. 
Dye
Paint is applied in the same way as with primer. The same 30-35 centimeters from the spray point to the surface of the disk, the same 3 layers, the same 15 minute intervals between application of layers. The only difference is that you don’t have to wait 12 hours after dyeing. One hour will be enough.
Varnish
The varnishing of the front side of the disc is the final stage the entire cosmetic restoration process. The varnish is applied in 1-2 layers, about which you can read in more detail on the can of a specific manufacturer. There should be no difficulties, since you have already done similar manipulations with primer and paint. Next, let the varnish dry, and you can put on your “steel stallion” shoes. 
In conclusion, let's just say that DIY painting the entire set of discs will cost you 10 or even more times cheaper than the cost of similar work in a car service center. This is the savings.
Alloy wheels are now installed on every second car, this is a kind of trend. Such details make the car more attractive appearance and make it look more expensive. But, like any part, with long-term use, such discs wear out and need restoration.
Reasons that may prompt a car owner to undertake repairs and painting alloy wheels there may be several:
- Damaged paint layer of products. This most often occurs due to mechanical damage or due to exposure to the external environment and chemical reagents.
- Mechanical damage in the form of large scratches, chips or dents.
- Buying a used car that originally had alloy wheels in poor condition.
In this article we will look at how to restore the appearance of disks with your own hands at home, using improvised tools.
Photo examples of disk recovery.
Selection of materials and necessary equipment
The first thing that novice car painters start with is choosing the type of paint. For cast rims Three types of paint are most often used:
If we consider the general kit for carrying out work on the restoration of alloy car wheels, the list will be as follows:
- sandpaper, metal brushes and a grinder, or a drill with grinding attachments. Abrasives will be needed with different sizes grain, from coarse cleaning to fine finishing grinding.
- napkins and rags.
- degreaser.
- putty.
- primer.
- finishing paint.
- varnish (if necessary).
- rags.
- solvent.
- personal protective equipment: gloves, respirator, safety glasses.
When purchasing primer, paint and varnish, try to choose materials from the same manufacturer to avoid defects based on incompatible compositions.
Additional equipment you will need:
- If you plan to apply the material with a spray gun, you will need the spray gun itself and an air compressor.
- as already written above, for better cleaning it is better to use an electric drill.
- CD holders can be made from wire and attached to the ceiling in the garage.
- An IR heater can speed up the drying process of new paintwork.
In most cases, ordinary car enthusiasts who are not involved in professional painting apply primer, paint, or varnish from aerosol cans and at the end they get a very high-quality result.
Technology for restoring alloy wheels using acrylic paint
If you decide to do all the work yourself, then try to follow the technology and sequence of steps for repairing your car disks.
Preparatory stage of work
Step 1. Removing the rims from the car, and if desired, you can dismantle the tires. But if you don’t want to do this, then the rubber itself can be covered with masking tape and film and thus protect it from paint and varnish materials.
Step 2. Cleaning discs from dirt, dust, resins and other things. To do this, they are washed using auto chemicals.
Step 3. Analysis of the condition of these parts. If there are chips or deep parameters, they should be noted in order to be eliminated during subsequent stages of processing. If the rims are bent, you may even need to take them to a tire shop and have them rolled. For cast products this is no problem and such edits will help restore the geometry of the disks.
Step 4. Removing old damaged paintwork. Blistering paint and other coating defects are sanded using a relay and metal nozzle for cleaning. If there are traces of corrosion, they also need to be cleaned down to metal.
Step 5. We degrease the part, for example, using white spirit. Wipe the entire surface with a cloth.
Step 6. We fill in all previously identified deep scratches and chips with putty, wait for it to dry, sand and, if necessary, apply another layer. There can be several such layers of putty until the surface is completely leveled.
Step 7 We degrease the entire disk and hang it on a wire fastener that has already been installed in advance to the garage ceiling.
This completes the preparatory work.
Applying paintwork to a cast wheel
Here the whole process can be divided into four operations.
Step 1. Primer. It is sprayed in 2 - 3 layers, with a break between layers of 15 - 20 minutes. To speed up drying, use an IR heater. The primer protects the metal from corrosion and ensures increased adhesion of the coating to the part itself. The tone of the primer should be selected according to the color of the base paint. For example, if it is light, then the soil should be light.
Step 2. We apply paint. Typically, alloy wheels are painted with a spray can from a distance of 40 - 50 cm. A total of 2 layers are applied, sometimes a third is applied if the second main layer has errors somewhere. The break between layers is still 15 - 20 minutes. Be especially careful to paint all curves and cavities so as not to leave gaps. The number of such “problem areas” depends on the shape and design of the disc.
Step 3. Varnish layer. It is also applied in 2 stages. Add this material if you want to give it a more intense shine.
Step 4. Polishing.
You can use newly painted wheels after 2–3 days.
Video instructions for restoring paintwork on alloy wheels.
Below we will give you some tips that will help you restore your car alloy wheels better.
- Do not neglect the preparation stage and thoroughly clean the surface of the old coating and rust, otherwise this may cause the new layer of paint to swell and repeating repair.
- Maintain time intervals for drying the layers. Otherwise, various defects may occur.
- Work in a dry, warm, clean, and ventilated garage to keep the surface of your discs free from dust, insects, sand, etc. Make sure there is good lighting so you don't miss any areas of the product.
- Do not try to spray all the material in one layer, there is a high probability of smudges, and they can be eliminated by drying the paint and removing the sagging with sandpaper, after which you will need to repaint the part again. It is better to divide the paint application into two stages, the first thin layer and the second thicker and more thorough.
As you can see, if you follow the technology and purchase quality materials, you can do everything yourself and get a good result. Have you painted your wheels in your garage, and are you satisfied with the results of such work? We are waiting for answers in the comments.
Do you pay attention to the rims of cars on the road? Do you like the look of your car's wheels? Have you ever thought that the appearance of the rims affects the perception of the appearance of the entire car? The fact is that the rims in any car are like our shoes, which many people first pay attention to, despite the fact that in order to see the shoes on their feet, you need to lower your gaze. However, many of us often pay attention to shoes purely mechanically, often without even thinking about it.
The same goes for car wheels. Do you pay attention to the wheels of other cars? We are sure that most of our readers will answer positively. But since wheels give any car a finished appearance, what should you do if your car’s rims look really bad? Why not buy new expensive castings or tuning wheels? Why not. True, this should be done if you have the money for it.
But what about those who do not have the opportunity to buy new discs? Is it really possible that in this case you will have to drive on old, ugly, scratched wheels? Fortunately, today there are several ways to spend redecorating your rims at minimal cost. For example, paint the wheels. And you can do this yourself. Here are the step-by-step instructions.
We would like to point out right away that you cannot do this on your own. So if you need an impeccable result, then you should contact a specialized company, where professionals will paint the rims using special equipment, in a dust-proof room, which allows them to achieve high level painting wheels. True, it's not cheap. Plus, as a rule, before painting, you must visit a tire shop, where they will disassemble your wheels (remove the rubber from the rims). Then, after painting the rims, you will have to visit the tire shop again to trim the wheels (put the tires back on the rims), balance them, etc. As a result, in addition to the cost of painting, you will pay a lot of money for the tire fitting.
Naturally, it is much cheaper to paint the rims yourself. But this method is only suitable for those who are willing to put up with slight color differences in the updated discs. If this is not important to you, then painting the wheels yourself will cost you at least 2 times cheaper.
General instruction
If you want to paint aluminum or steel wheels yourself, you first need to have a few hours of time and patience!
First, you will need to clean the old paint from the rims. This is done in the same way as when painting car body parts.
IN last years Powder coating of wheels has become the main alternative to wet painting.
To do this, remnants of old paint, dirt and rust are also removed before painting. The disks are then subjected to sandblasting. In fact, in this way the surface of the disc is polished to the highest quality. You can't sand the surface of a disc like that by hand.
Then a special powder coating is applied to the surface of the wheel rim. After this, the disc is sent to a hot oven, heated to 180-200 degrees. As a result of heating, the powder applied to the surface of the disk melts, forming a single continuous layer.
The advantage of this painting method is that the powder paint becomes scratch-resistant when heated. Exactly the same as when applying regular wet paint on metal.
The only disadvantage of powder coating discs is the presence of a rough surface (the so-called orange peel) after heating.
Unfortunately, this painting method is only available with special equipment and a special stove. So you are unlikely to be able to paint the rims of your car using powder paint yourself. To paint using this method, you will have to contact a specialized company that deals with this type of painting of wheel rims. In addition, keep in mind that powder coating will cost you about the same amount as painting wheels with regular wet paint done by a professional car painter.
Painting chrome wheels
As a rule, chrome wheels are coated with a layer of chrome. So if you see chrome rims on any car, then most likely you are looking at ordinary aluminum wheels coated with a layer of chrome.
Unfortunately, chrome wheels get scratched very quickly. Especially inexpensive rims that have a cheap chrome finish. But their appearance can also be restored by grinding and polishing.
In addition, chrome wheels can also be painted not only by professionals. However, in order to remove the chromium layer from the discs to prepare the surface before painting, a special acid may be needed.
Of course, painting car rims at a specialized station using special equipment is probably best option, it will allow you to achieve excellent results.
Moreover, one way or another, it will differ from painting wheels with your own hands at home. However, one should not assume that the second option is so hopeless and unacceptable. As a rule, the main difference between painting wheels yourself is your personal labor costs. Although, this is only the first time, and then look, it will be possible to perform a similar procedure several times a month.
How to paint car rims with your own hands in a garage?
Equipment
I suggest, first of all, to go through the materials and necessary equipment. An ordinary electric drill with a set of various attachments will act as a sandblaster. By the way, a set of attachments can later be used for polishing a car body, as well as for polishing glass, so don’t skimp, buy the right equipment.
Dye
Before painting, you will need a primer in cans. The paint should be acrylic, try to buy varnish and paint from the same manufacturer. Why acrylic paint and not powder paint? I won’t argue, powder paint has no equal, it’s perfect option, however, there is one caveat: the technology for applying this type of painting requires special, expensive equipment.
I doubt, however, that any of you have a miniature sandblaster or heat chamber in your garage. But who knows? If available, you should give preference to powder coating. Buy paint only from trusted authorized sales points, pay attention to the expiration date, as well as the quantity of paint. Don't buy it back to back, it's better to stay.
Materials
The sandpaper should be of different grain sizes, from fine to coarse, it will be useful for preparatory work. Be sure to buy a solvent; you will need it to degrease the prepared surface. An old shirt or T-shirt will do as a rag - it doesn’t matter.
Now, you can, and as they say, from words to action... Let's start painting car rims with our own hands.
Surface preparation
The first step, of course, is to remove the old paintwork. Try to wash the disc as thoroughly as possible by using a brush and washing powder. I think your wife won’t mind if you borrow a handful of the miracle remedy called “Ariel” or “Tide”, it doesn’t matter so much. It would be best, of course, if you use drill attachments and perform a “total” cleaning of the disk.
In order to paint the wheels yourself, the entire surface of the disk should be treated without exception. Therefore, do not hide the drill with attachments far away, we need it again. In hard-to-reach places, crevices and bends of the disc, work with your hands. While removing the old coating with sandpaper, occasionally rinse the disc with water.
The procedure for using sandpaper should be as follows: No. 200-400-600. After you finish sanding the disc, if necessary, you can use automotive finishing putty to eliminate minor defects on the surface of the disc. There will be defects in any way, since I doubt that you are going to paint the new disk, so minor “side effects” will be 100%.
Let's start priming the surface
Primer work is one of the most important stages when painting car rims. As soon as the “stripping” and sanding of the disc is finished, treat it with a degreaser, solvent No. 646 will help you with this. After this, you can proceed directly to the priming process itself.
Important to remember! You need to start priming with inside disk. The process of spraying primer, as well as all aerosol paints, should pass at a distance of 25-30 cm. Do not forget to chat (shake) the can from time to time. I think there is no need to explain that the primer layer should be uniform, do not overdo it.
Correctly, the primer should be applied in three layers. Make sure to allow each layer to dry properly for some time. As soon as the third layer is applied, I strongly recommend forcing it to dry. Since painting takes place, roughly speaking, “on your knees” in the garage, you certainly won’t have a heat-heated oven, so as an alternative, you can use an industrial hair dryer or, “in extreme cases,” your beloved wife’s hair dryer. How to take it from her - steal it, beg it, earn it - is your problem.
Do-it-yourself painting of car wheels and coating with protective varnish
The procedure for painting car rims is not fundamentally different from the priming procedure, so I see no point in repeating it. Do each of the stages sequentially, only now using paint. Remember safety precautions during use acrylic paint. Follow all the measures necessary to protect the skin of your hands, as well as other areas of the skin, take care of your eyes - use glasses.
The discs need to be coated with varnish in one or two layers, as I said earlier, it is advisable that the varnish and paint be from the same manufacturer. Apply the varnish according to the instructions on the package.
In theory, everything seems to have been missed. From now on, you can safely be proud of yourself, because you managed to paint your car's rims with your own hands. All that remains is to take the wheels to, and put the finished wheels on your car. Oh yes! Don't forget to thank your wife for the technical support, and return the hairdryer with powder to its place. (-:
For most motorists who are accustomed to keeping their car in order, a well-groomed interior and appearance of the car will always be one of the criteria by which the owner of the car is judged. And the fact that the car looks impeccable is usually not trifles; in such a car, all parts must be in perfect condition, including the rims.
But it is not always possible to achieve the ideal condition of the disks, because they are the ones responsible for most of the problems on city roads - they are constantly scratched and experience an aggressive reaction. chemicals, which utility workers use to treat roads, require constant maintenance and, in the end, despite all the efforts of the next painting. One of the methods of caring for rims today is painting using modern technologies metal protection, providing not only high-quality coverage, but also making it possible to emphasize the individuality of the car.
Materials for painting wheels
The final result of painting car rims with your own hands largely depends on how correctly the entire work process was organized and what tools and materials were used for this. One of the components of success here is proper preparation discs for applying primer and subsequent layers of paint and varnish. At this stage of work you will usually need the most simple tools and consumables:
- Metal brush;
- Sandpaper with varying degrees of grain;
- Rags;
- Respiratory protection, safety glasses, gloves;
- Masking tape, plastic film, paper;
- Solvent;
- Putty;
- Set of spatulas.
For higher and more thorough preparation of the surface of the wheel rims, you can use a power tool with metal brush attachments or sandblasting equipment to remove the old coating, which makes it possible to thoroughly clean the rims down to metal.
During the priming and painting process you will need:
- Compressor and spray gun;
- Room with exhaust ventilation for painting;
- Drying chamber;
- Painting stand;
- Industrial hair dryer for drying individual areas.
When working on applying powder coating, in addition, it is necessary to take care of the construction of a drying chamber with the ability to provide an air temperature of 250-300 degrees for 4-6 hours for polymerization of the powder coating.
Modern car care products, including wheel rims, with constant use can maintain the color and integrity of the rim paint coating, but after a certain time, it is still better to repaint the rims completely without spending additional costs on partial renovation coverings.
For self-application For paint coatings, conventional automotive paints and enamels and high-tech coatings are mainly used. Most often used for painting wheels:
- Acrylic paints;
- Nitro enamels;
- Liquid rubber.
Each type of coating is successfully used when painting wheel rims independently. However, when choosing the type of paint coating, it is necessary to take into account the properties of the paints and the features of the application technology.
Acrylic car enamels The most common today and widely used for painting body parts and rims. Available as ready-to-use compositions in aerosol cans, and in the form of separate color forms of paints requiring further mixing to obtain desired color. When dry, the paints form a durable film that is resistant to external influences. Painting with acrylic paints today is the most common and easiest type of work to master on your own. Paints on acrylic base Suitable for all types of discs.
Once popular nitro enamels Today they are used mainly in the form of aerosol cans. Popularity of this species car paints lies in the ease and speed of work. Paints are sold in finished form, easy to apply to the surface, dry quickly normal conditions. This paint is usually used for express painting and is suitable for all types of rims. However, this paint holds up worse than others.
Liquid rubber relatively the new kind protective coating. The main form of release is ready-to-use paint in aerosol cans. It is easily applied to the surface, ensures reliable adhesion, and has excellent resistance to external influences. The downside of the paint is that it is difficult to select the required color, since it is sold in cylinders in finished composition. Suitable for painting all types of discs.
– a new high-tech type of coating that provides reliable protection metal and at the same time excellent appearance. Powder paint makes it possible to create any color composition, including using several color transitions. The disadvantage of this dyeing technology is the need to use special equipment and great care when working. In addition, it is not recommended to use powder technology for application to light alloy cast wheels, especially from unknown manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom.
Cast wheels made of light metal alloys, like other types of automobile wheel rims, require painting. During operation, the metal structure is constantly exposed to precipitation, harmful emissions and aggressive chemical substances for road surface treatment. In addition, the properties of the metal are affected by scratches, chips and cracks. Painting such discs allows you to avoid metal destruction due to corrosion and significantly extend their service life.
Alloy wheels
For painting alloy wheels recommended to use acrylic enamels and liquid rubber , powder painting applicable only for low-temperature compositions, the heating of which for polymerization is carried out at a temperature of 200-250 degrees.
The process of preparing for painting is carried out in the following sequence:
The painting process is conventionally divided into the stages of preparation, application of primer, painting with a pigment composition and final varnishing. All these operations must be done in a dust-free room with excellent exhaust ventilation and good lighting.
Before starting work, the discs are placed on a painting stand or hung on a wire so as to gain maximum access to all surfaces to be painted.
Preparation for priming and the priming process itself is carried out as follows:
Coloring is carried out in 1-2 layers depending on the desired result, while:
- Coloring is done in 2-3 passes from a distance of 40-50 cm from the disc, in the direction from top to bottom;
- When painting, the spray gun or can must be held in such a way as to follow the topography of the disc and achieve maximum coverage of the surface with a layer.
Applying paint to a car wheel
Attention!
When painting discs First, the interior surface is painted , and then the front side, this is due to the fact that paint drips from the inside in any case appear through the holes and windows of the disk onto the front side. Before painting the front side, it is recommended to carefully remove any drips with a clean rag soaked in solvent and then continue the painting process.
After the base coat of paint has dried, 2 protective layers of varnish are applied on top of it. The varnish application technology is similar to the painting technology with a mandatory break for drying each layer.
Car wheel before and after painting
It is recommended to dry in drying chamber at least 2 days, until the last layer of varnish has completely dried. All this time the disc must be on the stand; removing it and putting it down is not recommended. After the varnish has dried, it is recommended to put the tire on the rim no earlier than 24 hours later.
Stamped disks are most popular as the main disks for installing winter tires, which is why the entire load of vehicle operation falls on them. winter conditions. Before starting work, it is recommended to remove the tires, level the deformed areas, carry out alignment and roll them to the desired shape on the machine.
Stamped discs are mainly made from cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel using the hot stamping method; this technology requires the mandatory application of a protective coating. For stamped disks, any painting technology is acceptable, since the metal of the structure will not deform when heated to a temperature of 250-300 degrees when powder painted.
Stamped discs
A special feature of painting stamped discs is the preparation process, during which, after restoring the shape of the disc, it is necessary to:
In preparation for painting:
Painting with acrylic paint and liquid rubber is carried out using a similar technology - painting with a spray gun and from a can, first on the inside, and then on the front. The use of the powder method requires additional equipment - a spray gun for applying powder paint, an apparatus for electrostatic spraying, a drying chamber with the ability to maintain a temperature from 180 to 300 degrees, depending on the composition of the powder paint.
Application of acrylic paint or liquid rubber carried out in the following order:
- At the stand, the results of the primer are inspected, flaws are removed and the entire surface is degreased again;
- From a distance of 50-60 cm, all areas are painted with 2-3 passes of a spray gun or spray bottle - first the side surface, the inner surface and then the front surface of the disk;
- The stand is placed in a drying chamber for 24-36 hours until completely dry.
Painting a stamped disc
Varnishing is carried out in 2 layers, provided that the surface is completely dry.
Forged wheels, unlike stamped ones, undergo a more complex manufacturing process, during which the required shape of the wheel is formed by forging, while the structure of the metal changes, it becomes more durable and elastic. Such products allow any painting method, including high-temperature treatment during powder painting.
Forged wheels
When painting forged wheels, it is necessary to carry out the following operations during the preparation and painting process:
When painting wheels without removing tires, the preparation process has its own characteristics:
- The disc is washed together with the tire;
- Before starting work, the nipple and tire near the disk are sealed with masking tape;
- Mechanical cleaning of the surface, puttying and grinding are done with the utmost care so as not to damage the tire;
- Installation on a painting stand must also take into account the weight of the tire;
- In the drying chamber, the maximum temperature should not exceed 40 degrees.
Pasting tires on wheels before painting wheels
In extreme conditions, when not only the tires are not removed, but also the wheels remain on the car, it is recommended that all operations be done in a place protected from the wind in dry weather. normal humidity air and temperature not lower than 20 degrees. It is recommended to cover the machine body with plastic wrap and secure it with tape. Tire rubber can be closed playing cards, inserting them with one edge between the rubber and the rim of the disc along the entire circumference. In this case, the coloring will not be of very high quality, but the effect of freshness will last for 3-4 weeks.
