How to Repair Wheels with Curb Rash and Scratches

As a retired teacher, I would grade this an A+. Your pacing, assurance, and production values were top notch and I look forward to giving this a try in the future.

[@P3t3rPizzarelli]

[@2ndLastStarfighter]

Having worked in a bodyshop, this is an extremely well done step-by-step process for this repair! What's even better is that it's done with everything you can pick up at your local automotive shop over the counter. Because we had to take cleanliness to the next level to avoid customer complaints / re-dos at the bodyshop, I would also recommend painting the wheels on a cleaner surface, lessens the chance of dirt/dust particles flying up on to your work. Also, before the clear coat process, you could do a quick pat down with a Tack Cloth to make sure surface is clean as can be before you seal it in with the clear coat.

[@barrybarry5803]

Who on earth paints their wheels???, iv'e painted plenty of rims over the years, however iv'e never painted my rims and tires together!. You do realize that a rim is not a wheel don't you, therefore when you state "painting the wheels on a cleaner surface" what are you actually referring to???

[@terryritter7065]

@@barrybarry5803 He's painting the wheel in an area that isn't free of debry or clean (11:00). I think the OP was mentioning using something like a concrete slab or some other artificial surface that can be cleaned and won't have a lot of particulate that can get on the wheel surface and ulitimately embedded in the painting process. As great as this video is, I thought the same thing immediately because a professional would never paint on bare ground, even with something under the wheel.

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!

[@TechGameEras]

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.

[@danc1197]

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.

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.

[@deibyfilms3681]

Also if you don’t let’s the lug nut holes cure you may have to keep checking them after every drive for loose

[@victorjbarker]

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.

Thanks a lot Cory!

Cory M if he repents of his sin and places his faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and savior by becoming born again of the holy spirit and living a life after Gods heart.

I don’t have a car but i am learning a lot

[@fightcentral9337]

Same lol. I want to start flipping cars though so I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

[@deputybluevein93]

Get a car then. It's an extra arm

[@luciferlyon4839]

Not gonna lie I learned a lot watching your videos . I love how detailed you are when teaching is how to repair and swap parts

[@franky-161]

i love it how you give that safety informations to protect Your subs 😆🙋

[@rayg5445]

When you brought up the Bondo after finishing the cleaning I was like nooooo not yet!!!... Then you brought out the sandpaper and I was like, "It's chrisfix, who am I kidding?" lol

[@deanomutch6175]

Ditto, lol. I've got a set of Pepper Pots I'm currently doing for my Fiesta and thought I'd come see how Chrisfix has worked his magic on his own. Never fails to amaze me.

[@gabechacon97]

I’m going to throw a Chris Fix party. We will watch every video he has. You will take a shot for every time he says “Holy smokes” “Just like that” or spray paints his camera.

[@Kingus_Dingus]

Im not sure if that's even going to be safe. Everybody would be *blanked* up

[@lizforbes8022]

He just put a clear plastic shield wen he sprayed camera ……No worries

[@observe_and_purport]

Chris you've helped me so many times. Many thanks, brother. I appreciate your service, even if it's something that doesn't feel like a service to you.

[@captin__7658]

You're so motivating. But the actual work demotivates me xD thanks for your content!

[@chrisfix]

The work is the best part! It is fun!

[@captin__7658]

ChrisFix Well, you're talented at what you do, not everyone can do it as good as you, including me! Either way you inspire me, my next project will definitely be cleaning under my hood 😉👍🏽 Hey, while I have your attention, just an idea to help your channel grow, I'm sure your subscribers would be very appreciative if you made an updated video on how to tint windows! I surely would! :)

[@SpaceMissile]

what you mean is that you're not patient enough to do it right. ;P

[@TheAdam212121]

CaptiN __ Dude, Man up. No pain no gain.

[@LifeOnHoth]

@@SpaceMissile Hehe - this stuff here can produce mediocre results even for the patient ones. What is needed is actual practice :). It's not skills that comes to the patient ones, it's skills that comes to the guys putting a lot of time into practicing it. I've done a LOT of bodywork on cars, and I'm very good at that stuff when it comes to fiberglass and "bondo". Metal bodywork however, I can do with mediocre results, not because I'm not patient hehe - but I never cared enough about putting time into honing those skills.

[@kuckian]

i love how he says "half"!! it's so different to how we say it in england!! Sooo satisfying lol

[@kuckian]

love you chris fix!!

[@FatherJack-73]

Depends where in England you're from, I'm from North East and probably say it differently to you lol

[@dank7319]

Yeah innit

Hi Chrisfix, I'm super impressed with the mag resto mate. those Jag mags were really beat to shit when you first got them, and you did it again. just bloody brilliant work Chris. top marks for this video buddy. love ya work mate. 😎👍

[@chrisfix]

Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it!

[@finecutpost]

One of the best instructional videos on KZbin. 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. 😁

[@truejey7475]

Hey chris how are those rims till this day.I'd like to do this to my alloy's .Let me know bro.

[@befer]

I think the car is sold now because his dad got a Maserati

[@amw6778]

pure genius!... you rock Chris... thanks for uploading!

[@matthewtaz7774]

what happened with project police interceptor?

[@PoisoneDrummer]

Exactly my thought !!

[@CollinWeis]

He finished the cruiser. There should be a newer video on his channel

[@matthewtaz7774]

Collin Weis you are a bit late. Like one day after I commented this he uploaded that video

[@Anyafrightx]

I

[@cybermonk2646]

Just bought a set of wheels for $250 with good tires cause of the curb rash. I'm about to start cleaning them up this week. Thanks bro, I remembered this video from YEARS ago and got the second dose of inspiration I needed to dive in.

[@Salmansk2205]

I love to watch your videos chris fix

[@chrisfix]

Thanks Salman!

[@Salmansk2205]

+ChrisFix 😊

[@pamelajones4327]

Can you do a video on super cleaning the inside of the car? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@jonjeny]

Pam Jones, that's coming soon, he has to clean the inside of the vandalised car.

[@SingaBoiy]

When you're sanding, are you sanding the entire rim? Or just the front, rim, and damage areas?

[@chrisfix]

The entire rim that is getting painted

[@adrenalinehigh2070]

any area getting hit by fresh paint should be sanded.

[@JoeverAndJetty]

I’m a big fan I’m not fixing my car but I watch your videos for fun so I can learn about cars because it’s thanks to you😊

[@constantdarkfog49]

Really good video, too much like work for me, but amazing how you saved the used wheels, looks like new.

[@chrisfix]

Thanks Chuck!

[@johnnym3860]

One of the best DIY videos I have watched.

[@chrisfix]

Thanks!

[@1cbjack]

Very classy, great job!

[@chrisfix]

Thanks!

[@dbucciar]

Chris, thanks for this video. Restoring a set of BMW 3-series wheels following your procedure. About 6 hours in, and I'm ready to prime. (They were very, very dirty and had severe curb rash.) Will be priming and sanding today.
