Its 2023 and I'm back here. Its nice to see the old classics again.
Not done watching yet…. Can I still do this with the tire on?
How about fixing minor curb rash on wheels that you don't want to take off the car?
So painful hearing him mispronounce the name of the car so many times. It's JAG-U-er
This guy is incredible
Hi Chris. You released a great paint repair video on a blue car that involved deep scratch and filler repair. I can't find it. Has it been pulled? Can you please direct me to it?
Crazy that non of these products are available to purchase in europe
You made that look too easy. I'm considering doing this but with pressure washers and power tools.
if you're going to try this it would be cheaper just to pay a company who does wheel refinishing, the stuff he shows in the video costs a fortune, that body filler and skim and 2k clear especially will run you 100s of dollars, by that point you might as well get them professionally powdercoated which is much stronger.
Why isn’t it necessary to sand in between coats?
Question after completing the process. The clear coat leaves a very harsh surface. Should I sand it? If so what grit should I use?
To anyone trying this: I achieved the best effect with three sanding steps in stead of two.
I first sanded and painted two wheels and then did the other two the next day. The first two I sanded with 100 grid and then 400 grid. After painting and drying, they turned out rather matte and a kind of icy silver and feel rough. I decided to put way more effort in sanding the next two wheels. I used 100 grid, 240 grid and then 400 grid, and spend just more time sanding generally this time and really made sure everything was nice and smooth. These two wheels turned out beautifully shiny, a more metallic silver and they are smooth to the touch.
Thank you Chrisfix for this great video! Learned a lot from it, and learned a lot from my own process too.
Biggest lesson: you can not be sloppy on the prepwork – it is the most important part. Don't think you will simply cover and hide imperfections with the layers of paint. No, the paint will only accentuate any imperfections you leave!
You are the best find Chris !! God bless you and keep making these videos …
Will you respond to this 7 yr old video?
