DIY Paint Your Rims

[sillykid]

Seen many people on here asking hwo to paint there rims and do it the right way here is a step by step tutorial of how to do so.
SUPPLIES NEEDED

Step one Remove your tires off of your atv.

Step two take tires and sand them down using 60 - 220 grit sandpaper removing any rust or blemishes for the best results.

BE SURE TO REMOVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS

Step three after removing all rust and blemishes take your denatured alcohol and wipe down the rims removing any dust/ dirt your rims should now look like this

Step four using masking tape tape your way around the rim then take newspaper or shop towels as seen in my pictures and stick them to the tape folding them over to cover any spots you might not want to spray

step five take your rim color and then spray a light coat of it on. when its done drying usually within a half hour you can put on a second coat. repeat this step 3 to 4 times or untill rim is covered to your satisfaction ( sanding may be needed between coats)

Step six if sanding is need do so next take your clear and spary a light coat on the rims repeat this step 6 to 7 times to ensure no chipping with hard ridding

Step seven remove paper from around tires ( wait at least 12 hours till all paint is fully dry)and then bolt them on and your ready to go your finished product should look like this

Nice! Rep given. I like the clean black look. I had no idea about the sanding in between layers. I'm trying to decide on painting, or polishing mine up like the one in your cig

IMO any painted rims isnt going to look good after a season.
the lip is going to get all scratched up

nice man....rep given

i think its when u take the spark plug dip it in some gas and then if have a kick start then kick start it and if u see a spark or small flame on the spark plug then ur good i think thats what your trying to find out


and 2 stroke is when you have 2 seperate tanks one four gas one for oil but you can also mix the oil and gas and put it in the gas tank and it will work perfectly fine
