Painting wheels with their hands

Over time, car rims wear out. On Russian roads with pits and stoned them appear chips, scratches, areas with rust. Many motorists will simply throw out the worn wheels and buy new ones. But many are reluctant to buy new disks, because like these, or damaged only one drive, and have resorted to the repair work. If you put in the proper state drives in paint shops, it will be very expensive, which is comparable to the purchase of new wheels. But actually, if you undertake this work yourself, the price of the decrease in the number of times, the more that can perform this operation yourself. Wheel rims are molded and pressed. Pressed discs more susceptible to wear and corrosion. Alloy wheels are made of more durable materials and paints. The painting process of these discs is no different. It consists of surface preparation, ie washing, cleaning, applying pre-ground, and painting. Painting can be produced in two versions. The first - using the apparatus of high pressure spray, spray. Second - with cans of ready-made automotive enamel. In the first case, you must buy a car enamel hardener to it, and the solvent. All mixed in the proportions of 55:30:5%. This yields a thin and smooth layer of paint. In the second case it is necessary in practice to practice with the uniformity of paint application, Shake well paint in aerosol Bologna. For all the work we need some materials. At each wheel, 1-2 aerosol container of paint, only 2-3 cylinders colorless varnish, 2-3 cylinder automotive primer, solvent, sandpaper a few sheets of 0, 1, 2 rooms, zinc rust converter and still good to use abrasive paste first facilities for polishing cloths, masking tape. First, you must completely clean and wash the wheels on the dirt. Find and clean a large sandpaper all the places of rust. Moisten a cloth or impose tampons soaked in the rust converter. Writing soak for several hours. Remove the pads and clean up the sites of rust to bare metal. Strip off all the paint from the roughness and the older chips, occasionally dampening water to remove the old dust and the surface was more smooth. First, grind coarse sandpaper, then finer alignment to the surface. Then covered with several layers of all the primers at intervals of time to allow to dry. After this first coat dry about a day. Then again, polished surface to a state of perfect surface, periodically wetting. Then again dried the surface is cleaned of debris. Floors are to be spread out some cloth or plastic wrap to paint with dust rose and settled on the fresh paint. Painted wheels, previously shaking the paint cans. The distance from the cylinder to be coated is selected empirically, usually equal to 40-50 cm This would allow for a smoother painting. Apply several coats with short breaks every 10 minutes for drying. After painting the main surface is covered with varnish, letting each dry thoroughly. After each coat of varnish should be checked for surface roughness and polish with sandpaper or an abrasive paste. Thereafter allowed to dry paint and varnish over a week. As a result, you can complete the job polishing the surface of the special polish. From the first time might not turn out as good as expected, but this operation can be performed again, because it's not expensive and not so tedious as it sounds.
