Hi 😁

I brought the soda and 3D glasses.

dude for real, his video is like half an hour long.

lol

​@@jemalchrelashvili1264 this is Amazing bruh 😭 Thank You Chris Fix!!!

Same. Body shop wants $1200 to fix mine

Me too and I agree, I personally need a great clear reference to have on hand for a quick peek here and there but that’s only due to brain damage. True story, no joke and just the tip of this here iceberg 👍🏻.I’m fine with it. I’ll be the first one to admit my flaws.☺️Most of my important long term memory is intact it’s the short term memory that’s putting me neck and neck with a goldfish😁 ((🐠

Heu, et vous avez eu votre diplôme de jardinier ? 🤦‍♂️

@Ray Trammell that’s not “espanol”

my high school is the only one in my city with an autobody class. and once my teacher retires there wont be any. it really is a good class but its sure is alot of sanding

Jeez that would have been such a useful class for them to keep around. My school had nothing useful like that

Nice to hear that. I have a question for you or your dad, if it's not a problem. I have chips (like 10-20 of them) on the hood, I would try to do same thing like in video to fix them. The question is: do I have to sand the whole panel or can I just sand the affected part? Will the healthy part after blasting with 3000 and 5000 be the same as before or more cloudy (if I do the same thing like in video)?

@@karlojoki6314 depends on the spacing and the size of the affected area. If I had something like that on the hood, I’d be just doing the whole thing so the paint matches better (unless the size/space can accomodate for feathering the paint)

@@DISMODEUS I appreciate your answer, so I just follow the instructions in the video to fix chips and scratches? Can this work if I have smaller areas where the varnish has peeled off?

@@karlojoki6314 yes

@@karlojoki6314 out of curiosity, how does your hood look

Dang, but I'm glad to see you got it fixed!

Come back in 10 years time, let’s see if you still feel the same. If you know what I mean. Lol

@@chrisfix I am an avid fan of yours. how can I fix the peeling paint on my 2018 Toyota bumper that was hit by the cart in the parking area, the paintpeels. Do you have a video for that?

​@zoemarano9590 if the paint is peeling, either paint it yourself, or have it painted at a shop. When its peeling, the clear coat is too sun damaged, or its been hit hard enough where the paint seperated from the plastic bumper. Spray paint it, with oem paint, and clear coat the area, and wet sand it, and polish it.

Thank you

Um its soapy wooder

Thanks

Thanks. Saved me some time!

Thank You.

You can still see it at some angles :p

@@chrisfix absolutely but no doubt you are good at what you do

You're*

@@TheRabbitFear Thanks mr. Grammar

@@iinotpxnda *Thanks, Mr. Grammar. :D

Glad it's looking better!

How did it turn out?

I mean it’s not perfect. The best way would be to sand it smooth and use putty like you said but for the time/cost and for these results it’s good enough. But I’m glad I was able to show a new way of doing it!

@@chrisfix when you say putty, do you mean bondo?

@@Terrence432 no he means glazing putty. It's meant to fill fine scratches after your Bondo step.

@@chrisfix Hi Chris. Would this touch up job work on a 2014 red Kia Rio. The paint seems kind of plasticky on my Kia do I don't want to mess up the whole panel by sanding it down.

Oh I'm happy to hear that it worked

Thanks a lot! Tons of past touchups have helped me create the "best" method of doing this.

@@chrisfix Yw. I’ve never seen anyone sand down the scratch first so the paint fills in smoothly. Good stuff man!

@@chrisfix Now you're just giving your ex-girlfriends a reason to come up with new ideas :p Next on ChisFix: How to fix slashed tires yourself. :p

Chrisfix. While waiting for my paint pen to arrive I put some clearcoat over the scratch. How do I remove that clearcoat now

Glad it was helpful!

780$ for a scratch, no wonder ricer will put sticker on it. you can paint the whole car for 780$ in my country

@@tpenoel88 I think even in NJ there are more price ranges, 780$ for a panel I think is a ultra professional body shop. Here in southern Italy with 800-1000$ you paint a whole car at a medium-high level, in northern Italy the price almost doubles

Awesome!!! Glad to hear that!

@@chrisfix are shiny black paint coats any different?

That’s why I’m watching this video 😫😫 My new SUV just appeared with a deep scratch 😡 I’m very careful and barely have used it, so I know it wasn’t me, but have to deal with it. Can’t wait to try this!

we will appreciate before and after pictures

@@anthonyg3016 decently well! The clearcoat did repair easier, i still havent done the paint pen yet

AND he made money off it🤣

I appreciate that! Thanks a lot!

i know what you mean. and your damn right that the videos never get boring. Chris's videos are the reason why i got into cars and DIY repair

Yea! Never gets boring!

😂😂

It's difficult for cameras to show some stuff like that. You'll be able to see it in person if youre looking directly at it but this is the right way to do this and it's a big money save if you're willing for it to not be dead solid perfect.

white makes it hard to see imperfections. If that was a black car it would look MUCH more visible

@@ericwest3714 makes me SUPER happy the truck my hubby just bought is white! I feel silver would be pretty decent fix also, but it makes a difference I think if you e got a Pearl finish or a strong Pearl finish like glitter basically, I think that would be the easiest to hide and patch also! Either way, for an artist, it’s all fun to me! Can still do my art inside the house, and can work on the truck outside the house as (I’m not certain at the current time if the previous owner did a lift on this truck or it was delivered to the dealership with that feature but it’s the perfect height for my wheelchair 👩🏻‍🦼 and it’s going to be fun for me in 7 months when there’s no snow left and I can block off the time to do it. I can’t do houses anymore but I can do vehicle light the light/medium body work, like surface rust, chips and smallish scratches, and detailing inside from my seat with it moved up to reach the edge of the dash. So I’m happy to help my hubby fix up his ten year old beautiful comfy truck that I’ve made him wait 28 yrs for(he waited an additional 12 yrs before that and that was BK(before Kimberly) so it’s only my fault for 28/40 yrs lol. It’s nice to see him so happy though. He’s had a rough time over the past 15 years being a carer part time for his sick wife , doing cpr and bringing me back to earth after looking like a Disney character for 15 minutes, watching multiple violent seizures, upon surgeries and a multitude of other things along with being my very loved kids(they’re his bio kids too😶lol) Wonderful father, even with two of our kids having life threatening asthma and Autism, etc, and 3 of our girls have passed away, 2 were my preemie babes and 1 was 19 when passed which was 3 yrs ago. So he’s gone through and continues to , and still for the 4th yr in a row works 7 days a week, and only takes a vacation from work by not sitting at his desk at Christmas(we don’t actually go anywhere lol but it’s at least 10 days including 4weekrnd days and a weekday depending on what day of the week Christmas falls on that year. Thanks for listening to some of my life story lol. There’s some cool people on this channel. It’s enjoyable if you can ignore the occasional crud.🙃 hope you’re well. Peace.

Wel technically, it’d make sense for Chris to try and get videos out to us, he’s getting paid from ad revenue, which comes from us watching the videos. It’s not like he’s doing it for free... he depends on us

@@callumsmith338 sure, but that doesn't effect any cost on our end. I'd still rather wait for longer more in-depth videos than get spammed.

Exactly how I feel! Part of it for me is having worked on cars as a kid and teen til my baby bro was born and my dad finally got his boy lol then I was leaving home 10months later so by then my bro was just old enough at 6, to begin really getting into helping with things safe for a little kid to help with and he’s now 35, and when he’s not with his sons and partner, and not working security, , he is in HIS garage 😊 happy as a clam. Just like our dad was being a mechanic for 35 yrs and then a long haul truck driver for another25 yrs while still working on cars in any spare time or when someone needed help. So you get to learn in a fun way from when you small and it’s not work really, it’s kinda relaxing in a way, even breaking a sweat, it’s still enjoyable doing a bunch of things. I’m new to Chris’s channel but if the videos I’ve seen today are an indication of what else is here to discover, I’m a happy girl 👧🏼🙂 peace.

Thanks a lot!

So many mechanics i know strongly dislike Chris but I find that he makes the best quality car repair videos on KZfaq. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@therealtrucker7564 why do they dislike Chris? Jealous?

yep

@@beekarinsaan he's destroying their market share since people are starting to fix their cars on their own because of him

@@kawaiiappleproductions3902 I see, makes sense. Well they can feel free to hate Chris then. People do have the right to repair their owns vehicles and Chris is doing a great job.

Yes

To be fair, when you look at the estimate costs, it's almost all in high charges for labour. Think the cheapest I saw was for 55/hour.

​@Whoreally Cares They're charging standard rate, where a fraction of an hour's work is still paid for a full hour. Time they don't have to actively work on it is not being charged. And, lastly, they aren't just fixing the scratch up like how Chris did it here, but are pulling off all the paint entirely and repainting the entire panel, professionally. That takes time and effort to do. I just don't think it's $55/hour worth.

@Whoreally Cares well there's a lot to consider. The type of paint they use and how accurate it matches. The location of the damage, which would determine how they need to blend it into an adjacent panel so it doesn't stick out as much. And most of all, the prep work. On top of that, Chris used a white car for this video. Which is the easiest to work on because white paint hides scratches very well. Black is the most difficult to work with for the opposite reason. You see everything on black paint. But I understand it was for the purpose of teaching the step by step process.

Welllll if you consider how long this process took Chris and factor $70-$90/hr (have to pay for a shop) it would cost $300-$500. But at that point you could have the shop just repaint the whole panel which would be much better than paint pen. Touch ups on a repair this big are only worthwhile if you do it yourself and use your own labor instead of the shops labor.

It’s not as easy as it looks but it’s def worth a shot if you have a car that’s not pristine.

My car is 17 years old and the scratches are on the roof so it doesn't need to be perfect. Just finished and pretty happy with how it came out. Main issue was the roof was too hot and the clear bubbled going on. I would also pay more for a better clear coat/brush product if I had to do it again. Regardless it looks much better and definitely worth the $2k savings!!

thats funny

😂😂😂😂😂

Haha

My dad passed me down his truck, lets just say his ex wife is the reason im here.

@@easton._.141 I’m here cuz of my childhood best friend (R.I.P the paint on my g37)😁

i think the his videos has taught a lot of people about DIY repairs

More like let me hold my domino

I know its a joke, but as someone who went to a high end body shop. It was $700 to prime and paint the full bumper, blend into the fenders and compound and polish.

@@trigun989 but 700 bucks isn't really the best price

@@fernix02c26 true was quoted 400 at other spots. I just went to one of the best spots. People have thier cars shipped from the US to have bodywork done here. Im in toronto.

i watch his videos even if i don't have a car and in case if i get a car in the future

Foxmpomas. I believe these same steps can be applied to your tricycle.

Let me key your car when you have one 🤣🤣

Easy fix. Go up to random cars with scratches and fix it. If you are really eager to try it (careful with this) you can just do the scratching aswell.

yeah and in a unnecessary way as well.

@@Taytacool And why is that? You know what they say, right? If you are good at what you do then no matter how many people you teach you never have to worry about competition. You must not be that good

his videos are good but dont take them as gospel, check the comments and do further research to make sure theres more proper ways and dont do anything half assed

Couldn't have said any better, thanks David! & of course CHRIS :)

better to learn young and have these things in memory for the future instead of going into financial trouble because of damage or maintenance

Being too young to drive doesn't mean you can't teach yourself a moneymaking skill. Buy a fuel door or similar from an auto wrecker to practice on, then you can offer to help family & older friends. Just be sure to be safe - use a respirator around fumes and don't crawl under a car unless it's safely supported.
