Repainting Rusted Steel Wheels (Amazing Results!)

My friend Dave had some rusted steel wheels on his Suzuki Vitara. So we came up with a plan to sand them down and refinish them. Follow along the condensed version of what was hours of grinding, sanding and prep work. They say prep work is the key to a perfect paint job and it is so true. We took our time and it really came out right! Way better than some plastidip. Enjoy!

Why do youtube car fix it guys always put music in the audio instead of explanations about the type of stuff they use? Are they expecting viewers to DANCE while watching the video? Read your comments. You've had several questions about rust converter, removing rust, primer, etc. because you had very little explanation about the process. But at least we could all dance while trying to guess what you were doing.

Rustoleum has a cheap and very factory silver called Bright Silver Metallic, it is like $6 at Walmart and one can is enough to cover 4 wheels using 2 good coats or 4 light coats.
