How to Repair and Remove Dents from your Car (DIY)

This man don’t miss. Just when you think he has covered everything, he finds something you have been wanting to do or something probably forgot about. Well done sir!!

I have been watching this guy for 4 years now and he has inspired me to become a mechanic and look at me now, working on cars for a living and with a 5 star rated garage. I couldn’t thank Chris enough for what he has done for people. Favourite YouTuber if all time. Thanks Chris

Middle-aged dad here - I grew up working on cars, rebuilding motors, trannys, diffs, etc., and even painted a few cars, and your videos still manage to teach me some new tricks, or reasons why things are done a certain way - well done! I was lucky and grew up with a well-equipped garage (my father was a truck driver) and I also had auto shop in high-school; many kids (young & old) today didn't have anyone to teach them how to work on cars, so you are a gem. Love your upbeat attitude too. The only tip I would add to this video is to spray down the ground with water before painting, to keep the dust down.

How to remove bullet holes? Asking for a friend

Dude I was just about to pay over $600 for this to get fixed on Monday. ChrisFix always coming through at the right times.

He's the best automotive YouTuber out there, I mean he's maintaining insanely professional video quality, providing us with proper information, the audio/video quality is top notch, I mean this dude deserves 10 mill subscribers.

The trickiest part of automotive painting is clear coat. Chris pointed out that his clear is uneven - dryer in some spots and smooth in others. That can be improved with tweaks to technique. It is possible to lay that SprayMax 2k clear so smooth you don't even need to wet sand and buff (not 1K - always have to wet sand and buff that). I just did it with a rear bumper - that clear looks like glass, no orange peel or anything. Make sure you overlap 75% (Chris doesn't overlap enough in this video which is probably the biggest factor). I also have better results moving in closer, like about 5-6" away, and move a little faster. Err on the side of too fast at first to avoid runs, then bring the speed of your passes down some until you get a wet look - that's the sweet spot. The key is to angle your eyesight so that you can see the sheen of each pass of clear as you lay it down, which depends on the lighting. Move around until your head is in a position to see that sheen. That way you'll know if you're laying it down wet enough, or too wet. The key is it should have that nice wet look, but not so heavy that it runs. I get why Chris is painting outside and showing that's doable. However, watch your weather conditions! Too humid and you're going to get cloudy/milky clear. Too windy and you're going to get dry spray, which will ruin your clear and force you to let it dry, knock down that gritty clear with some 600 grit sandpaper, then reclear. So if it's windy outside or humid, just wait. It's not worth it. Personally, I've had enough problems laying clear outside and getting dry spray that I only like to spray clear in my garage. I just hang plastic from the roof to block the overspray. I spent the $40 on Amazon to get the 3M plastic sheeting that's meant for masking as it won't flake paint off onto your work area, and I hang some of that.

This guy is the truth. Even at 30 minutes long, there is no wasted time. I learn something every time I watch one of his videos.

I hate watching tutorials like this when they start breaking out all these fancy tools in a fully outfitted shop just makes you feel like sure I could do that too if I had all that stuff but Chris fix is absolutely one of the best YouTubers at making you feel like you can do this too and as a guy who does all his own work in his driveway as cheap as possible I very much appreciate his more relatable approach to his videos truly a legend I'd very much like to shake this man's hand someday and say thank you because I've been using his video guides reliably for many years great work Chris stay awesome

I'm 13 years old and thanks to you, I was able to fix the Horn on my Parent's Car. Thanks for the amazing videos.

I've been watching Chris for about 6 years or so (I forget about how long) and there is nothing that this guy can't do. He's convinced me to not take my stuff to a mechanic, now have a big shop with plenty of tools, but still like the Chris way. Definitely a great resource for anyone from people who know nothing on cars, to master techs

I normally don’t watch a video no more than 5-10mins unless something worth watching and this my friend is no exception. This dude is highly intelligent and full of useful ideas & never misses a dot. I’m a newbie to your channel and you have another Sub to add to your millions of fans. Man, you’re full of positive energy. Keep up the good work & never stop !!

Great vid Chris, as always. Just 2 tips from me - when applying body filler for small dents follow the direction of the panel curve - for the door for example from top to bottom , not sideways, this way it's less probable to get low spots since the edges of the spreader follow the curve of the metal. Also, when you spray from a can try to get one with a nozzle that sprays a line, not a circle, you will get much better results with less running paint and remember to wipe the nozzle once in a while to avoid "spitting". Again, thanks for your amazing vids!

Love that Chris does all these perceived as professional methods in his drive way! Realy congruent with his message of "common household tools".

This is just about the best quality content you can consume on YT. Huge shoutout to Chris!

this video actually had me amazed. I have never seen anyone so creative, who thinks to tuck the tape in? I would've messed up without this video. thank u

"Don't expect perfect professional results." He says right before doing it better by hand than some professionals would with all the tools in the world.

5:10 As a professional body technician, this is great advice. Very helpful tips for the average user, but you don't really need to sand to bare metal to have the body filler stick, it just needs a scratched surface and it'll stay on just the same. Great work as always Chris

No wonder you have a high subscriber number. You bring DIYer’s to the next level. Instructions make all the difference in the world and yours are as clear as a clear coat. Thank you for sharing your techniques.

Chris, I am not a painter but I was always interested in the process. I have to applaud you, the time, delivery, preparation, and the just enough detail kept me through the whole process. You did fantastic work, I now know I will never be a body\paint guy but I'll know what to look for. Of course, the 3 series is a nice pic for a race. Congrats.
