Hey Chris, there hasn't been a single video of yours which hasn't been perfect. You deserve a spot in the hall of fame Sir!
Thanks!
and this is how you do rim jobs in you driveway without scaring the neighbours
LOLZ...I think?

How can people dislike this video? It is literally just a DIY help guide.
There will always be someone who can do it better or with better products or better techniques..etc etc..So I agree its DIY "GUIDE". Not a "this is the ONLY way to refinish a wheel"... haters gonna hate.. Good job Chris.
CZcams. That's why.
There will always people who "THINK" they can do it better.
I think he did this one before?
+Mr Cornwall I don't think you could do a better job than this. They look beautiful! Lol also he's a perfectionist.
Am I the only one that’s finds it so satisfying when he sprays the camera with clear coat?
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!
Also, I used my multi tool on the hard to reach places. This was a big mistake! The steel wire brush carved deep into the original layers of paint. IF you use a multi tool, you will have to strip the full wheel of all it's paint completely, to bare metal. You can't leave a single spot of paint.
I used the multi tool on spots that were hard to sand by hand, but it turned out nigh impossible to make those spots smoothly transition into the hand-sanded parts. You will see bumps and gouges.
Took me 11 hours to do all 4 wheels but damn they look amazing now.
Awesome!!!!
11 hours! ... now figure out how much you paid... "yourself" / hr... minimum wages at a fast-food (burger flipper or cashier) job, down at Mikey D's, Jack in the box or KFC will give you something to compare against... plus cost of paint, supplies, sandpaper, will tell you if it was worth it.
Add in the benefit of personal satisfaction - of knowing that the job was done right - 'cause you did it yourself (nothing beats the pride of workmanship you get when you do-it-yourself). Oh... no taxes either! I usually pay myself minimum wage of $50/hr.
You saved about $500 - $600 cash! verses sitting on your ass watching music videos or texting your loser friends watching "porn' in the basement 'apartment' at home.
Small Town Loner how many cans of all 3 did you use???
@@JustinAEgan you forgot to add experience and savings on the next job.
It costs 220 euro in Greece, I'm thinking of doing it myself. Two wheels are in terrible condition the rest not much.

Fuckin basically
If you want to know how repair rims you have to see this account in Instagram @kingrepair1229 that people know too
@@juancarlosyanezmolina2898 i watched Chris fixing rims and now i know how
Hey Chris, awesome video. My son's mother has been driving around in an otherwise perfect town and country for years but for her corroded, scratched and oxidized rims that were so bad the clearcoat was flaking away, foggy and trapping dirt and brake dust....about 6 hours of stripping, sanding, primer, paint and 2K clear and she is blown away by how much she loves looking at her van again.... Thanks man, put a huge smile on my face!
Just a word of warning, I work at a place put tires on rims, don't try to build up too much of that bondo on the lip of the rim. Especially if you intend on using lower profile tires, sometimes the bar we use to lift the bead off the rim can require some pressure and I wouldn't doubt that it could crack some off if you try to rebuild too much of the lip. Some shops may have different, more precise tools, but just thought I'd put it out there is all.
Why not just flip the rim so the inside is facing up? The tire only goes in from one side or the other so why scratch the finished side when you can scrape the side nobody sees.
@@danc1197 Incompetence from my local mechanics is I could say.
good tip actually
Dan C if you flip the rim you cant get off the tire
@@danc1197 you should see how they take the tire off next time you need a tire, then you'll see why not. They don't know if it's a fixed rim they're not mind readers. And last he's just letting you know so you don't end up in the same spot.
Literally Chris is a life changer thanks a lot man! I restored my bmw e36 by watching your videos everyday. Every videos are detailed and easy to follow.
Awesome
Did my wheels today exactly as you said and it's perfect! Thanks very much for all your videos! I never would've thought, I could do some of the things you show and now I am encouraged to try more! And I absolutely love it! Me, who never really liked any form of DYI, but my passion for cars and your videos woke me. 😄 I tried some car stuff before, but it was very basic. But thanks to you I am learning new tricks to make everything better! Bought some tools, watched a lot of your videos and I am hyped! Keep up the superb content!
How is your repair holding up one year later?
Yeah that would interest me as well. How's it after a year?
Tell the public
'I fixed them. I restored them myself to like new condition. And you can do the same. And that's just a feeling you can't beat!'- so true!
Man, I can't tell you how much I admire your encyclopedic knowledge on all things related to cars.
You really know your stuff!
Dude, a bit of googling will tell you everything you need to know lol.

Subscribe. This guy is very informative.
The first time i watched one of your videos i was hooked. There is nobody who explains things as simple and knowledgeable as you. These are the most informative yet simple videos as far as car detailing, normal upkeep, ways to prevent future damage to all cars, trucks, motorcycles, and whatever else you decide to fix. Keep these quality videos comming and thanks for the knowledge i now have. Its like having a personal mentor for free. It gets no better than this. Thanks CrisFix.
You are a mine of gold buddy... please don`t stop from what you are doing because you are doing great. This channel is more informative than the any book or tutorial.
We cannot thank you enough for the hard work you are putting into these videos & cars!
I found your channel maybe a week ago and I just wanted to say thank you. I've learned so much it isn't even funny. I'm a woodworker and I wanted to pass something on to you that might help you save some money as well. I use a sandpaper called Abranet by Mirka. It costs a bit more than your average pack of sand paper, but its a mesh, so it rarely clogs and cleans very easy. It has saved me hundreds since I switched. I went from using half a pack per project to using only one abranet disk per three of four projects (They come 5 disks per pack, it comes in rolls and standard rectangles too). I've had to use them on steel and aluminum before and work great. Thanks again for your hard work, it is very much appreciated.
The power of shared knowledge, were we all learn to grow to become a better human beings. Thank you and great Work!
No one can be this talented! Some one give this man an award. Much love my friend & Thank you!
Man this is been my favorite channel for 4 years and continuing
I'm glad this is your favorite channel! Thanks for the ongoing support!

“…and that’s just a feeling you can’t beat…” couldn’t have said it better myself! That feeling is literally priceless! Thanks for the awesome content Chris!
Chris is having full command on his subject thats why he makes things so much easy and understandable.
A Devoted man
I swear dude whenever one of your videos gets in my sub box I feel like going into the garage, stripping my car down and fixing something lol. Another great video :)
That is awesome! I am glad you enjoy the videos and I am sorry I am fueling your car fixing addiction haha #sorrynotsorry
AndreAgonia I'm the exact same way. On a video he did a few months ago, he was showing u how to fix a flat tire and when the video was done I went to check the pressure in my tires lol. You're not the only one lol 😂😂
I agree with Andrea and I do not even have a car !
You sir are not alone! 👍
I did this and my mom fucked up my rims three days later LOL.
Gregory Najar how
FORC3OFX F3AR nasty curb rash
F
Gregory Najar I just did a fucking curb rash like 25 min ago. I was sneaking back home and fucking went to close to the fucking curb. Luckily it’s just a small spot and that’s why I’m watching these videos lol. 🤦🏽♂️
My condolences to your family. I hope you were merciful and quick.
Excellent description of repairing a car wheel. Very well thought-out & explained. Pre-planned and filmed to perfection. Not too fast... and certainly not too slow. Very clear voice which enthuses the listener. Ten out of ten.
One of the best explanation videos I've watched on youtube and I watch a LOT! Didn't talk to slow nor to fast, explained everything perfectly! Thank you!
Chris, your Fix-It videos are the best ones I've found by far. I for one am grateful to have found your channel and have been employing the things you've taught me through your videos with excellent results.
Voted 'AWESOME' by Me!
That's a lot of work. My car has tons of curb rash on the wheels. I think I will just live with it..
Well, it all depends on how much you care about the look of the car. The jag is made for looking classy, so for that, the work is definitely worth it
Or just plastidip it
+TJC450 how does plastidip evenly cover the wheel? Wont it look shit?
+TJC450 you still have to sand it down or the curb rash will still show through the dip
+Techno sailor It'll look as good as you want it to, depending on how much effort you put in. Painting is all about preparation.
One of the best instructional videos on CZcams. You kept clearly on message the whole time which makes the process easy to follow. Only one thing that makes it hard for a home mechanic is removing and refitting the tyre. However with the $$it would save you its worth doing. 😁
I found that plastic metal works well for repairing alloy wheels. It's easy to use and incredibly strong. I was able to sand it down easily and paint it with a touch up pen.
to all the viewers or people who might read this chris deserves more subs !!! dont you think ???
dude hes got nearly 5million at this point this comment is insulting to other channels that are also good but dont have nearly as many subs as as they should.
He does good videos, but there are many other excellent videos on youtube that don't even have half the attention... Subs, likes, comments, etc. There will never be enough!!!
Anyone know where I can get some ChrisFix Soapy Water?

This is probably one of the best videos on wheel refinishing! Well done.
I really enjoyed ChrisFix videos, I have learnt a lot about car systems and how to fix from easy to more complex car issues. At the same time, I have already saved thousand of dollars. The videos are very well done, nice edition and easy to understand procedures. Thank you ChirsFix.
A really well-done “how to” guide. I’ve been restoring for years yet I still learned plenty.
Nice rim job
Thanks!
LMAOOOOOOO
Good one! LOL
I see what you did there
+ChrisFix lol it was meant to be a joke... Do you know what a rim job is? None the less it was a great video! The results were amazing. I appreciate your attention to detail.
I’m only 3 mins into this video and this guy is NICE w it. Getting straight to the point, and everything is understood and comprehensive. I love this.
Chris big thank you from England, have watched all videos over the last 6 months. I am a plumber by trade and have just bought and sold my first 2 cars. I am now working on my first 7 seat Opel Zafira and refurbishing some "old" new alloys. Thank you for your content
Forgot to mention that when painting the back of the wheels, do not paint the mounting surface that contacts the hub. Doing that will create an uneven contact between the wheels and hub, that will cause vibrations. Awesome video.
How would you recommend covering? Special tape or cloth?
@@charliewilliamssucks890 u can still paint it just wipe that area fast or sand til it shows metal again
@@charliewilliamssucks890 Anything that prevents paint from sticking there is fine. Like painters tape for an example. Remember to remove the tape and clean all the leftover glue from the tape after painting.
Or you can just sand the paint away afterwards like the guy before me said.
Also if you don’t let’s the lug nut holes cure you may have to keep checking them after every drive for loose
Nonsense. If painted evenly the shim distance would be identical to the machined surface. Also, rattle can paint is extremely thin once the solvents flash off. The paint is typically only 0.005" in thickness which is roughly the thickness of human hair or a sheet of paper. Plus the torque generated by lug nuts threads will be in the thousands of pounds per square inch on the wheel face which will squish the fresh paint evenly. I own a Metrology and calibration laboratory where we calibrate torque wrench's, coating thickness gages, gage blocks to the millionths of an inch, etc. and measure automotive aerospace and medical parts daily on robotic Coordinate Measuring Machines. Ive been in hundreds of manufacturing facilities of all kinds and seen many processes. The thickness of rattle can paint does not surpass the dimensional runout tolerance of OEM and aftermarket wheels, let alone the machining tolerances of brake rotors and drums that they are mounted too. There is way more runout on those parts than you would ever get with a layer or 2 of rattle can spray paint.
I don’t have a car but i am learning a lot
Same lol. I want to start flipping cars though so I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
Get a car then. It's an extra arm
Man, this dude is really working his ass off! I feel tired just watching his videos let alone actually implementing his advice in real life.😬 Definitely, this channel is one of the most deserved of his subscribers and views out there!
Simply the best!!
I also do everything myself (I have the knowledge and the experience).
I'm amazed how a younger guy like yourself, not only has professional procedures but also has the ability to make the best videos. Well done!! 👏
also should remind people to ask for the stick on wheel weights instead of the clip on ones that can chip the edge of the rim when using bondo repair when getting tires balanced
Great tip! I hope Chris sees it.
Why can't I upvote comments on android CZcams?
They could place the clip ons on the inside of the wheel as well
How Does tris balance clip work?
Because Android.
+Kim Jong-Il yes you can.
do a vid of engine cleaning and a good detail of inside
Stay tuned ;)
ChrisFix did you make a video of this yet??? :)
I think I saw in another video that he is doing that soon
It's finally live!

ChrisFix no problem, I've just always loved your videos, I showed your videos to my dad, and he used multiple if them to fix his 1999 BMW M Roadster, for some examples, he used this video to fix the Curb Rash on his rear left rim, and he used the how to super wash your car to clean it, then he won a car show!
