Video tutorial

In the video, the YouTuber works on plastic wheel covers: he starts with repairs using heat shrink ties, melting the plastic with a flame and using melted plastic ties to weld the cracks. Be careful as thin plastic can easily deform; do not overdo it. For rusty steel wheels, start with a deep clean, removing rust with a wire brush and then applying a rust converter (Ferox 750ml bottle on Amazon, code B00BY7ARJ2 at the price of £19.99, free delivery for Prime customers).

Wait 24/48 hours between the rust treatment and the first coat of paint, protecting the centre and bolt holes with masking tape. When painting the wheel cover, do not forget the primer for plastic (after light sanding).

Apply the paint in several light coats, allowing at least 15 minutes to dry between coats. Finally, apply a coat of clear gloss and, when completely dry, remove the masking.
