- Learn how to repair a deep scratch in the paint of your car. In this case someone keyed my car so I will show you how to remove a deep scratch from that using a touch up paint pen. Fixing scratches in your car's paint is simple and if they are just clear coat scratches it is even easier.
To remove deep scratches you need to clean the scratch, sand the scratch, use touchup paint on the scratch, sand that paint smooth with the factory paint job, add clear coat, and wet sand that smooth with the factory paint. Then you can polish the whole panel and you are done!

I always thought the first step was making an equal scratch on the other side for symmetry
You also can do that
Or just buy a new car that ur not gonna work on and let Jared help u
i thought to put scratches all over the car to make it camouflage
Giggity
i cant think of anything relatable or funny to this comment so just hey
Got my popcorn ready for this movie
Hi straight pipes

Hi 😁
I brought the soda and 3D glasses.
dude for real, his video is like half an hour long.
This video is so good and detailed and well explained that I started crying 10 minutes in. Huge amount of weight and stress lifted off my shoulders because I know now with this education from Chris, I can take care of ALL the paint work now on my car.
Chris, I can't thank you enough. You're amazing.
lol
@@jemalchrelashvili1264 this is Amazing bruh 😭 Thank You Chris Fix!!!
Bought a car with a huge scratch and was feeling buyers remorse once I started researching the cost to fix. Thank you for making me feel a million times better knowing I can do this!
Same. Body shop wants $1200 to fix mine
I took auto body for two years in high school in the late 80's. You covered a single semester in 27 minutes. Well done.
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
Vandaliser: Im going to damage this person's paint so they can't fix it
ChrisFix: Hold my soapy wooder
😂😂
Lmao
Lol true
LoL.
Well played sir...
I really enjoy your videos for how enthusiastic you are, how dedicated you are to safety and how much you emphasize the rushed/overlooked steps of your fixes. Usually when it comes to sanding someone will just state sand it smooth, you take the time to explain why and reiterate its importance through the video. I love it!
Thanks!
@@chrisfix Do you know what is the nature of the clear code you use (21:42 seconds)? How can I buy it?
As someone who has absolutely no clue about cars but is wanting to fix some small scratches, this video is incredibly helpful! I've had to order the clear coat thing and more sandpaper but it's already looking much better than before!
Glad it's looking better!
How did it turn out?
Ex girlfriend keyed a heart into my car the other day. Can’t help but appreciate the irony of it. I needed this, man. Thank you.
Darn! Now you know how to fix it though!
Now key your ex girlfriends heart

My dad is an old school auto-tech (panel beater/spray painter/mechanic/auto-elec) and the amount of time he had taken in people to help them do small stuff like this in educating them on how to learn to fix things for themselves and save a bit of cash was enormous. He was literally you before the internet and had made it his mission to try and help as many customers as possible. He was even running small workshops for youngsters on changing tyres, checking fluids, topping up fluids “how to’s” etc. that’s why your channel has a special place in my heart. He is now 74 and to this day, whilst retired, does the same thing to his grand children and us as well. Keep up the great work and know that my dad is also a viewer and approves of this channel 😉
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
I scratched my car today and I've been upset all day. I was deep cleaning my car and feeling so good about my progress, and then BOOM I scratched the car. Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I can do this! You explained everything so well. And now I'm not hating myself so much. You turned my day around a complete 180. 🥰
I feel like you should have your own Netflix show with how good these are made, like seriously, it’s easy to follow and shows the examples perfectly. Every single question that came to mind you answered it before I could google it or ask you lol. This channel, your channel, helps millions of hard working people that want their ride looking better, come to life. Nothing but quality from this channel, thank you so much.
I’ve owned a auto detailing business for 15 years and have always sucked at touch up. I’ve always been told to fill with glazing putty first but I’ve never had results like this. I just tried it on my own truck and I don’t know if I’m more mad at myself for how simple this is or more happy that Chris posted this
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

This is freaking AMAZING. I just bought the car I've been wanting for years now and the paint is perfect other than two small rock chips on the drivers door. Now I know how to fix them! I absolutely LOVE your videos!
This is by far the best video I’ve seen for fixing car scratches. You did a phenomenal job! And thank you for listing all the products you used. Great job!
"MOM, he is talking to one of his cars again"
ChrisFix: Spends a whole day painting a scratch
Ricers: Sticker time
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
You did an amazing job with this video! You brought my stress meter back down to zero after a horrible mistake I made today. I unhooked a trailer from my truck that was incorrectly loaded and too tail heavy and as I released the coupler, the tongue came up and gouged the tailgate. It happened so fast I just watched in horror! I was stressed out imagining what a body shop would charge me to re-paint the tailgate but after watching this video, I am confident I can repair it myself. Thanks a million!
Let me know how it goes!
You're a lifesaver, I scratched my car today getting out of a particularly narrow and awful parking lot and I was terrified of how much it'd cost me. You gave so many useful tips every other video I found compeltely omits - like comparing the insides of your car to see the fading, using masking tape, how to properly paint. I'm a bit worried my color (dark grey) could be hard to find, but my scratch is a lot smaller than this one so I think I might be able to do a passable job. Thanks so much! This is BY FAR the best video I found on this!
bodyshop " we'll repaint the body panel for 700+ dollars"
chris: "15 bucks, take it or leave it"
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.

This is insane. I'm so impressed on many levels. The commentary, video, close up shots, instructions, basic "tools" anyone can use, realistic results, and more. Dude, you're a gift!
Did you try it diy
No, I don't dare but I don't need to.
I agree this guy needs his own show!
8:12 - Clean with soapy water (dish soap)
9:27 - Sand rust & jagged edges (P400)
10:03 - Sand edges smooth (P800 then P1000), wipe with alcohol
14:00 - Tape off 1-2mm away from scratch
14:54 - Paint several thin coats to fill scratch higher than surrounding paint (~5 minutes between coats)
17:29 - Let dry for 10 minutes, then peel tape on itself at 45 degree angle. Let dry for an hour after peeling tape.
19:02 - Wet sand (P800) with soapy water until smooth, fill in any holes, wipe with alcohol
22:01 - 2 clear coats, 10 minutes between coats, let dry 1 hour
22:32 - Wipe with alcohol, wet sand (P1500 then P2000) until clear coat is smooth with surrounding paint
24:16 - Wet sand the whole panel with (P3000 then P5000 with a sponge)
25:26 - Polish whole panel
Thank you
Um its soapy wooder

taught me so much, yet have a need to use the shit he taught me. His voice is just so soothing.
i think the his videos has taught a lot of people about DIY repairs
I just got quoted $2k to fix a few deep scratches on my car. Thanks to this video I think I'll pocket all that! Thanks a million Chris
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!!
This is by far the best video I ever saw for anything in CZcams. I have a similar scratch in my car and I will fix it with this detailed instructions. Thanks a lot.
It's funny how long i have been watching these videos and they never get boring, actually it's pretty simple. A man who knows what he is doing, talks normally doesn't scream, very chill, i.. I love it from bottom of my heart, when you teach us over and over again what have to do, you never leave us behind, it warms my heart.. keep doing this Chris, i want to support you as much as i can and always wanna be with you (trough screen), i hope everyone see this comment and understand what im trying to say. Thank you
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!
Me - Too young for a driving license forget having a car
Also me - "hmm interesting..."
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.

I’ve never seen someone more excited in his work. You made me have fun fixing the scratches on my car!
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.

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.
Your enthusiasm and pacing makes this video not only very informative, but entertaining as well. I’m going to try what I’ve learned in your videos on my new car’s black metallic paint. Argh - a clod of dirt came off a truck and scratched my hood while we were following on an interstate. Didn’t see the scratch until we stopped for gas. On the plus side, the scuff is only a couple of square inches.
Just got done following Chris’s steps and it works. Pretty satisfied how my first attempt turned out. With more practice maybe I can be as good as him. 😊

Thank you. I own a classic Jaguar that incurred a 6 " deep scratch on the front hood. I hoped I didn't need the whole hood repainted. I had it painted with a single stage urethane many years ago and still had a quart of paint left. I decided to follow your instructions. I sanded the scratch and then mixed up a little paint and hardener and filled in the scratch with a tiny brush. I let it dry for 5 days before wet sanding. I followed your wet sanding instructions and then polished it. The scratch is gone!. It looks great. Again Thank you.

GREAT, detailed, organized information. Bought car used w/side scratches & paint chipped. Now I have a way to reapair - AWESOME!!!
Never been so happy to click on a Chrisfix video in a long time
Awesome!!!
Chris you have to start selling “SOAPY WOODER”
He does sell stickers to put on your own bottle
I would like to thank you for all the training and information you share with us on CZcams . You save me a lot money with the three Vehicles I own with all the repairs I did myself . 🙏💯 bless to you and all your family.
Wow! What an excellent tutorial! You have the voice, the pace, and enthusiasm to make this video interest, engaging, and educational. The graphics and pictures were also very effective. Good job ChrisFix.
Who else missed:
Hey guy Chris fix here!👉👈
Mee waiting for a month
I'm so glad Chris makes videos, I wouldn't know half the stuff I do now if this channel didn't exist, the amount of effort he puts into his videos is unmatched by any car youtuber. On behalf of the whole car community, thank you Chris!
I was bought to this video from a guy on facebook, who posted it trying to help someone who got their tailgate keyed. Amazing stuff, so good in fact, I am going to attempt to fix some of the chips and scratches on my truck
I want to say thank you so much for all these videos that you've uploaded, because of them I'm able to help my mom with her car with things that would cost her a lot! So really I do want to thank you for these video!!
20:30 "Make sure you visually inspect the scratch"
Me fullscreen 4K: There's a scratch still?
same
ChrisFix eyes is about 6-10K resolution 😀
This is so difficult. Specially when you don’t have a car yet.
Lol
i watch his videos even if i don't have a car and in case if i get a car in the future

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.
Awesome, awesome video. I actually just returned from a body shop with a scratched fairing panel, and thankfully, they were closed. After watching this, I'm ready to save the money and try it myself. Thank you, Chris!
Thank you for your videos! They are always clear, concise and easy to follow, even for someone who doesn't know anything about cars, like me!
I just bought my very first car at 26, wich is a big deal considering how I was too scared to get my license until last year.
It's a 2007 PT cruiser. It doesn't look too bad for it's age, but still needs some work done, and with your tutorials I'll be able to take care of some of it myself!
Fun fact: Remember the clear coat scratch video Chris made? Well, he updated the video so that if your scratch isn’t in the clear coat this video pops up... now that is some serious dedication. Love what you do man! Legend.
The need for speed most wanted main character needed this tutorial 16 years ago.
Took me a while to get it lmao..
We love you Chris ! Excellent video
Chris Fix just wants to say. I have been watching tons of auto car videos after my new purchase of a used Jeep. It is your video on interior detailing, deep to bare metal scratch repair that I have saved into folders. I also prefer you detailed instructions on prepping the car for ceramic and graphite coatings. I can say I like many videos because I am a dummy with cars and want this one to survive in better shape than my last vehicle. I am subscribed.

Chris, has possibly the best methods, delivery and amount of enthusiasm to get the amateur “fixer” through just about anything. I’m sure there’s an incredible amount of work involved in producing such a “polished” video. Thank you, sir!
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 :)
GREAT JOB EXPLAINING AND DEMONSTRATING! I have scoured CZcams and other sites for information on how to address my scratched hood and you did an excellent job explaining, showing, and basically getting to the point and I appreciate it.
As I sat 10 minutes into this video, after watching 10 other how-to's, I started to order the sandpaper and paint. I then realized I had ALREADY purchased all of the sanding equipment for my drill. Thank you for me! And thank you ChrisFix, for making it all click!
Glad I could help!
