The difference between you and the other instructional videos is that you're a good teacher. Too many instructional videos are from people who know the process so well they can't put themselves in the shoes of a person trying it for the first time, and so they leave out details. You hit every detail and I love it! Keep it up, Chris.

Many of those people sell their services. So you watch their video, fail to understand anything and end up just ordering whatever it is they are selling :)
facts
yes
Super true! A lot of professionals (in general not just cars) know WHAT works but now HOW it actually works, leading to them making up nonsense and spreading misinformation. Chris actually knows his stuff, which I why I love watching him :)
Who else doesn’t actually do this stuff but just watches because it’s satisfying
I will... one day
Me
I’ve finally found my people. I don’t even have a car. I cant even drive
id thumbs up this but its at the perfect number
This is exactly me
5 years ago this was posted, your still going strong and inspiring many. I'm only 14, and I am way into mechanics because of u, I have watched almost all your videos, and today I actually thought I would attempt a DIY. I wanted to paint the rims on my 97 ranger(almost the exact same as your b3000) but, I wanted to test my skills before I scuffed something up. So I got a steelie from a junk yard, and followed these exact steps, I was only able to get up to the 3 coats of primer due to a thunderstorm. But it still came out great so far. I will continue tommorow, but I just wanted to let you know, you inspired me a lot due to these videos, and I want you to keep continuing stuff such as this going. Great work Chris.
You own a Ranger at 14?

When you said "steelie" it sounded like you're an Aussie 🦘😆🤙🏽
Chris you are a gem. I did my first oil change the other day and that saved me surley around 200 euros (prices in germany are crazy). I was so scared but I watched your videos and just did it. Next up are spark plugs and front brakes. I would have never tried it without wathcing you. You are a great guy. You inspire people!
this dude made this video 4 years ago hes still hearting comments and replying thats effort and hard work right there bro keep up the good videos
This man is an outstanding teacher. Everything is explained well and Chris gives details that I would never think about. Thank-you, Chris!
boramir7 true
Yes First Class
Amazing job thank you Chris you rock
Well done
Yep I love him
I already know this is gonna take me 2 hours per wheel
One of the best DIY videos I’ve ever seen! I followed this step by step and wheels turned out great!! Easy to follow, practical and well put together. Thanks!
How has it held up??
@@qualitytouch Overall has held up well. These are my winter tires, so these wheels take a beating from our crumbling Michigan roads. The thin edge near the tires has been compromised in a few spots, probably from salt or gravel, or more likely too close to a curb. Will touch up when it’s warmer. But main part of wheels continue to look great!
How much cans of paint did you use?
Sorry, I don't remember. Maybe 3? I put multiple coats of primer and paint.
when you cut the glove for the valve stem...make sure fingers aren't in the glove
Well duh! How would the glove tip fit over the stem if it’s already slipped over the tip of your cut off finger? Removing your finger would be an extra step. Work smarter not harder!
pirateh00kar good one
Chris fix I like your viedeo from a little boy who lives in brooke avenue
LOL
Steel wheels are good for paint practice.
I’m just gonna say it, Chrisfix is the Bob Ross of cars
Big help boss...thanks...
2019?
I just painted a happy little wheel.
DUDE TRUUUUEEEE!
Straight up just scrolled down to type that, then saw this
Thanks Chris! I wish I'd seen your trick about using the index cards between the tire and the rim to catch any over spray. It would have saved me a LOT of time applying and then removing painter's tape around the rim. That's also a great tip about using the tire gel to clean off any over spray from the tire.
Chris, Your video is brilliant! I've been struggling with cleaning up 12" rims from a 1947 Crosley pickup truck that I am restoring. I spent 8 hours with wire brushes this past weekend and it kicked my butt. Plus the wheels are no where close to being paint-ready. Your tips are a life saver. At $80.00 - $125.00 a wheel for sand blasting and powder coating your way is the way to go. I'll get about doing this starting Saturday and will let you know how it turns out. Bill
neighbor kid : mom , the weird guy is talking joyfully to the cars again.
No one hasn’t reply yet?
Lol
funny xD
I think 90% of his voice over's are added in post production, hence the vocal clarity..
Since we’re in quarantine, looks like it’s time to start a new project
Good idea!
Same 👌
I think im gonna buy a old 180k Mile Starlet with bad alloys and Paint not any rust i thought.
ChrisFix just finished, my wheels look GREAT! Thank you for the video
I got a 76 f100 ford that is gonna take a lot of work
Thank you for the motivation to refinish my wheels! I had some lessons learned: 1. After spending 30 min cleaning a wheel with grinder and not making much progress, I went to a local dustless blaster- $50 and 5 min later the outside of my wheels were cleaner than I could have ever done! 2. It's important to pick heavy stock index cards--mine were too light and were difficult to push into the wheel bead not even considering the wind. 3. I chose Rustoleum Automotive sandable primer--there were a lot of solids I needed to sand and would not recommend it. 4. The time spent on this project was more like 12 hours than 2!
How has the paint held up?
This response is key It's hard to do at-home maintenance when you're new and that fourth point brings up how much more exponential the time sink is. Worth the money tho Doing everything the Christfix way makes me want two cars so I can get this stuff done and still be on the road!
Great video! Even if I never paint any wheels, your tips on how to properly spray paint was a huge help!! I have never been good at it, and now I see what I’ve been doing wrong. Thank you!! I’m subscribing 👍🏻
Just wanna say I blacked out my rims to my Lexus and followed every step and it is amazing. The only issue I ran into was the index cards was too light to stay up but I just used tape. Other than that they look amazing
Awesome! Glad the video was helpful!
Playing cards work well too
parrishib did you sand them? I don’t want to if I don’t have to. They’re in really good condition no rust or anything
Yes I sanded them because I had curb rubbish but if you don’t u should be good
All index cards are not created equal. Some are flimsier than others. And its really hard to tell which kind youre getting before you open the package
I've learned a lot from watching your videos Chris. Very easy to understand and very easy for people to do. I adjusted the valves on my Toyota watching your videos. Thank you!
hey angel who r u tell him about cars his life his own rules..
AngelofDeath3000 Some toyotas are good have you ever seen a supra
Damn, someone's insecure lmao
+AngelofDeath3000, some people buy cars for different attributes than you do. We don't all need manhood augmentation so much. Some of us enjoy reliability, low repair costs and fuel economy. Toyotas are good at all three of those things. They are not as good for manhood augmentation or the thrill of high acceleration and handling. They look boring and are average performance. We value what fulfills our desires. I and many others just want cheap, reliable transportation.
Thanks for uploading . With very clear voice
Wish I could show you how amazing my wheels turned out after following these steps man. Couldn't believe it. Someone just asked me when did I buy new wheels for my beater car. Told them I painted them doing these steps. Decided to use tape and newspaper rather then note cards. Thanks alot man for real!
That's what I like to hear!
8 years later and this video is still helping tons of people (myself included)
Glad t o hear that!
dude is so thorough. I love it. the best part is that he uses common tools or suggests certain slight upgrades.
I did follow this video to paint my Toyota Steel rims 4 years ago and the paint is holding strong on the rims
That's AWESOME! Thanks SO much for saying this! REALLY helps to know someone had lasting results with it! 😁 Don't want to buy all the paint & angle grinder/brush and do all the work, only to have it look lousy or start peeling off in a few months. Awesome job on your painting, AND sharing your comment! 😅💛
@@heatherclark2623 the paint costs like 2 dollars so even for a few months of nice rims its worth it)
@@heatherclark2623 One and a half years ago i painted the steel rims of my ´89 Trabant with silver spray paint. Because i didnt take my time and only scratched the surface with a hand wire brush and painting two coats without primer the paint started to chip of after 6 months. I got a set of old rims yesterday and do the job right this time
@@homerjsimpson6496 Really? I haven't priced paint at all. Which types were you using? It's great in videos (& comments) when people talk about types they've used & liked; or various tips, like "don't use house paint on a bus" lol. Did you use primer? It's interesting to see the different aspects of this come together, and really nice to see it come out well and then really last.
@@Handyman1199 That's a really helpful comparison, I'm glad you mentioned that. Those six months can really fly by, and it's nice to know that people have experienced even longer lasting results. You have to put deliberate effort into it, and even if it's inexpensive, it's nice to know you're following steps that might allow things to last. 😊
I am a tire man for a large school bus fleet and I think this is a excellent video, you have earned the right to call yourself the SUPER GEEK on WHEELS!
Lol thanks!
Love the video Chris, thanks a lot mate. Just did all 4 wheels on my Toyota Hilux down here in Australia! Followed every step and used the same paint, came up so good. Little tip for anyone reading this, I used playing cards and just tucked a heap of rags behind the cards to stop overspray. Worked a treat!
How long did it take to do all 4 wheels?
Thinking my old Ranger ute might get the same treatment.
One of the best tutorials I've seen about anything ever. Very clear, understandable, good audio, and upbeat. Great job! Thank you.
Just finished my set of rims Chris based on your instructions. Thank you very much for making this process so simple and giving me the confidence to move forward with this project!!
How long has the paint held up for?
@@Tropicanax7x Good question
Don't forget to shake the spray can for 2 minutes to properly mix the paint before you put it in the hot water. I would wait at least 8 hours to let the paint really harden before re-installing the wheel. I love the tip about using index cards to shield the tire while painting - some old playing cards could also be used.
His attention to details including pointing out any possible practical mistake is what this guy lovable !
That index card trick is dope
Now you can drive down the street and scare any and all racers thinking you're an undercover officer.
LOL
true dat
the car is not his, its FOR a cop. Its the project interceptor vid series, for a cop that needed a first responder car while driving to and from work.
Damn. You fine mama.
Damn you thirsty^
Thanks to your video my steel wheels now look amazing! I followed your steps, it was no problem at all. I'm even considering repairing some of the rust on my old van. Thanks so much for your inspiration and greetings from Austria.
Thank you ChrisFix. You make some really well, easy to understand directions for almost anyone to duplicate. Keep up the great work!
I was a fine finish/spray painter at Disneyland from 1985 until I retired in 2011, and although I've only resorted to the use of spray cans a few times when it was more convenient to not drag out my spray equipment at home, it was a pleasure to see the time and expertise you took to properly prep and then clean the rim with alcohol prior to priming and painting it, the only other thing I would have done would have been to refinish the other side of the wheel, and then clear coat both sides with high gloss Krylon. Overall, a nice video and good craftsmanship which you can be proud to show off.
excellent job. I'm an old mechanic of 4 decades. and that's an excellent job. thanks for the video
+Kaoss Comkaoss Thank you!
You have a mighty fine way with words, and a damn good understanding of how to teach Americans. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us.
You make everything feel so comfortable. Note that I didn't say easy - anyone competent can make their craft look easy. But you make is seem approachable. I've done multiple projects with your tutorials and they've all turned out great. I think I riffed off some of your previous videos when I decided to correct my paint and redo a huge section where all the clear coat and some of the actual paint had come off the A pillar all the way back to the trunk of the car. I did these prep steps and then wet sanded and cut compounded the glossy Rustoleum you used here, and it turned out great! The shine was nice and didn't require me to spend money on five cans of clear coat. And you're right about the paint; one can of Rustoleum replaced five of those shitty dollar cans and the dollar cans never looked right no matter how much I sanded or how many coats! The Rustoleum was so easy and so good for being so cheap. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks a lot!
First time I've watched this dude!! This guy is positive, educational, and exactly what this world needs more of! Thank you Chris... This gave me hope for humanity! It was damn near perfect and methodical. Great editing!
Takes time and effort but definitely worth it! Thank you, Chris! You saved me hundreds of dollars because I would’ve changed the wheels and the new tires on them.
hey chris i just did my first wheel! it was a tedious job but good prep work really helps the end result! thanks for making the video easy to follow im excited to see the finished product when i finish this project tomorrow :)
I like seeing you post your results; did you end up finishing the other 3 wheels? How long did it take your first one, as compared to your last one?
This vid made me cry from it being so good and informative 😭😭😭😌
LoadDanZ it made me cry because he left the wheel weight.
Warning! This guy is smart. Not subscribing will cause large amounts of boredom.
And will also cost lots of $$$ if not fixing by ourself :)
Lol
Same with Living Waters and Cross Examined.

You literally have the best channel on KZhead. Best quality videos. Most informative. And you genuinely care to teach us. Thank you
Best DIY tutorial bro. I like everything you present from start to finish and got motivated to do some muscle work. Thank you so much. Wanted to attach my before and after pics using same technique and tools you gave in the video but was not able in this comment section. Salute!
Damn *index cards!* _The most elegant of solutions are indeed the simplest ones!_ 🤔 *Great work!* 👍
Zeg Zezon for real though that’s a straight up life saver right there 😂
Didn't work at all for me. They kept falling over and I probably wasted an hour trying to get them to stay up. I eventually just used tape and plastic grocery bags which is what I should have done in the first place. Very frustrating.
Rare magic cards work better
I mean, he could have just used masking tape/painters tape, since this is the intended purpose of masking tape.
Modern problems require modern solutions. Though to be serious, it's pretty awesome to innovate on the cheap with stuff like that.
+ChrisFix one time when I was in mechanic class we were changing brakes something was stuck. One of our teachers were using a punch don't remember what for. It broke and flew right past my right eye I wore safety glasses. If I was standing a little more to the right it would hit my safety glasses. Could have lost my right eye that day. TLDR: Wear safety glasses even if you look silly. You could lose an eye
One of the few people making these videos that actually talks about safety. Nice work!
Legitimately a natural teacher. Great content. Exactly the video I was hoping to find. Thanks for also linking the tools in the description. This is KZhead at its best.
One year ago I painted mine, still looking good! Though I might give it a touch up, since I didn’t add clear coat. As for my headlamps, I followed your tutorial for faded headlamps one year ago too and they’re looking great too and I’m also thinking of fixing the paint on it too with your recent video. Thanks ChrisFix, you made my car look like new again!
Never thought of putting my paint cans in warm water before painting. Great tip!
+SGM 26 Thanks! Little tips like that make all the difference so I try to share!
This is the most detailed and no Nonsense video I’ve ever seen on KZhead. Very well done Sir.
Dude, you're an amazing professional. Doing your stuff and also teaching us. Best video ever for repainting the wheels.
Man I don't even own a car and this is so much fun to watch!! Fuck man i love your videos!
lol yeah it is a lot of fun to watch. I started watching him and i started buying all of the things in his vids and starting working on my car. My wife was impressed with the out come and said it looks like when we first got the car.
Sa Mik Glad to see fellow Caucasians around))
I work professionally as a mechanic and a ton of what he says is the correct way of doing things so I admire a lot of the stuff he does. Keep in mind if you don't have a car a lot of information here is useful on nearly anything with an engine from a lawnmower, weed wacker or a motorcycle. For instance the information in this video literally applies to any and all spray painting out of a rattle can. However it is not the same with a professional spray gun.
With all these tricks you should get an old junker and restore it to it's former glory.

Thanks Chris. The easiness of your video gave me courage to do it myself today..I'm really amazed of the result and proud of myself... 🤟
U are an inspiration to many people...my grandpa could rebuild a car inside and out...and I never learned a thing from him...I regret it everyday!!! You have been an inspiration to get into learning how to fix cars for me....I have a 2010 ford fusion and I would love to one day fix it up to perfection. But I want to learn to do alot of these things myself...love what u do, keep on doing what your doing your amazing!!!!
Thanks a lot Elijah!
First off, love your videos, I just finished a complete brake job on my old 2000 Taurus ses because of your brake video. Now, I was a Painter years ago, and I noticed something that would have helped your wheel look even better. After you finish primering, lightly sand with, say, 400? Grit. Wash, dry, then paint. You see, Primer, when you spray it, if you were able to look at it under a microscope from the side view, would have points sticking up. Go over it very lightly with sandpaper to just knock the points off, and your paint layer will be MUCH shinier. Without sanding, the points stick through the paint layer leaving a duller finish. Try it and compare. Thanks again for the great videos! Rabbit OUT!
Great comment, but he may have wanted to have the more of a matte finish that metallic leaving it at a semi gloss
@@bigwillyn23 Then he could have used a matte black
What the...! does that chrome cap do probably as much as a bumper sticker 🤔
I have my tire rims that I use on winter time only, and after 14 years it's time to do a good paint job as instructed by Chris; I have started already however the job is not easy as it looks but I have 3 rims almost finished the 1st step, the rust removal. Took me a couple of hours. Next week I m going to finish it so I ll be ready after 14 years these winter rims will look just like new, thank you for posting this video ! Let you know how it came out next week.
Such a perfect instruction. 100% helpful. And the voice also helps to keep you focused. Well done!
Chris, Thanks for all the help your videos have given me. I knew many of these jobs weren't that hard, but knowing the order in which to accomplish the end result has been instructive, and taken away my reticence to do the work
I just find you now in 2019.I'm so glad. You explain so good. Great job and good teacher!
Chris fix, your explanations are always so well done and thorough. Thank you!!
Best instructional video I've ever watched. Your so informative and very clear spoken. You don't go to fast it to slow and it's so easy to follow and keep and and not get bored or try to speed up the video. AMAZING!!! I do have a question though. I tried painting my car wheels before watching this video..... What happens if I did put to much paint and it runs? Do I need to redo the entire wheel again? I can't seem to get the wheel to be evenly painted
Steel corrugated roofing paint is great for this job. It's designed to last for decades in extreme weather, plus I tried one that doesn't need a primer coat and it's been bulletproof.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
high-speed metal wire brush ==> SAFETY GLASSES MANDATORY!!! A guy I work with had his eyeball penetrated by a stray wire from a brush on a grinder. Lost some pressure in his eyeball, needed surgery, and his vision never came back more than about 70%. He says it's still blurry like 3 years later. That's probably as good as it will ever be.
+ExaltedDuck Thanks for your comment ! SAFETY FIRST ! Don't take your vision for granted!
+ExaltedDuck Yep well said, happened to me not a very nice experience at all, especially when there's no one around and you have to pull it out yourself.
+ExaltedDuck I am a safety glasses all the time kind of guy, and I hate face shields...but, whenever I'm using either a wire wheel or a thin cutting wheel(not grinding wheels, just thin cutting ones) I always wear a face shield. One thing I've had personally happen is a stray wire pierced my nose, super not fun. The proof I was doing the right thing came when a few years ago a friend had a cutting wheel come apart on him and a chunk of the disc cut into his neck! The blood he left as a reminder on his shop's floor was horrific to see the next day when I came to check him out with his 7 stitches. Of course, to drive the point home his Dr. said if it had been 2 inches to the left(I think?), it would have cut into his jugular vein and he would have died. From a friggen 4" grinder, now that would be beyond embarrassing! Just a heads up, I'm totally not a safety spaz, I just know enough to respect the power of my tools. I'm certainly not harping away on anyone either, but if it saves one person's face(or life!), then I have been a good human and maybe the aliens will bring me to their shop to wrench on flying saucers ;) Aloha...Chuck
+ExaltedDuck shit I just changed my brake rotors and pads last week and used electric wire brush with no safety glass. had my doubts about something like this happening but didn't know if and where safety glasses were. But I know now that in future I will use glasses
ijustinw Any auto parts store or hardware store will have some. The simple $2-3 polycarbonate ones are fine as long as they're z87 rated. I wear safety glasses 40+ hours a week, and warped lenses really bother me so I got some nice ones by smith optics. I have a set at work, a set in my range bag, and the tinted sunglasses version for driving... I figured having the same set as sunglasses would help me secure the habit of always having them on in the lab at work.
i just got a car and was thinking about painting the rims. i didnt know you had this video until i was surfing your channel just now. thank you for making a video on almost every little detail of vehicles you truly are a legend

Excellent. I've watched a few of your videos and always pick up useful information. Will have to try this on my very rusty rims.
I initially searched for a hub cap installation / removal video and then you popped up in the suggestions. I think I'll attempt to paint my wheels before buying caps for them. Seems like a fun project. Thank you for this video.
Just finished restoring my 1998 rusty steel wheels for winter tires. Now they look brand new. Thanks, Chris 😉

Was considering taking my rims to a shop to get painted. After watching this video, I'm definitely gonna do it myself. Thanks Chris, great video
This was super helpful! I like the tire shine/note card trick to keep overspray at bay.
can you please show me how you do the other 3 wheels?

+Idiots Out Wandering Around Is it classed as trolling when you were completely set up for the 'joke'?
Don't know why I watch these videos again and again☺️ My first ChrisFix inspired task was changing rotors and brake pads on all 4 tires. What's yours? Learned a lot from your channel ChrisFix! Cheers🤙🏻
Good job! You can remove the wheel weights and put them back without rebalance if you mark the tire with a sharpie before removing.
Great video with wonderful insight. I spent $60 on materials and used this video to bring the rims on my daughter’s 10 year old SUV back to life. They look great and saved me lots of money. Thanks for sharing.
That's what I love to hear! I'm glad they look great and saved you some money!
I did this on the weekend, results were fantastic! Thanks for a great video.
Your stuff is always good. You give enough detail, but not so much that a 15 minute lesson turns into an hour. Good job!
Hey Chris I just did the rims on my Chevy Express Cutaway! Rims were really rusty just looked really bad. Following your instructions I did the same black rim with the silver center caps. It really turned out great. I can't figure out how to share the photos. Thanks buddy keep up the good work.
Thanks for the note card tip. Just painted my wheels with the wheels still on my truck and it worked great! Much faster than taping and masking.
Glad the video was helpful!
How many cans of paint did you use?
I just got a deal on my first car where the place I’m buying it from is refurbishing the wheels so I don’t even need this video, it’s just satisfying and good to know
Awesome! I'm glad you still find the video satisfying!
Thanks mate - great video and very well explained. I'm about to do my boat trailer wheels and will use your tips.
Hey Chris, love your videos. I have a quick questions, I have some rims I am trying to get the paint off of, but the wire brush on the angle grinder isn’t working. I’ve also tried to use some 2-minute remover as well, which I’ve had no success with either. Any other options you’d recommend to get super stubborn paint off of some alloy rims? Thanks in advanced!
I'm going to watch every single video you have repairing the 1990 Hardbody I bought. Poor truck needs some tlc.
Awesome!
I have a 95 that's slammed
This video is amazing! You paid attention to all the detail and I loved that. Thank you:)
Thanks!
4:42 I came back from grinding down a seat rail and this exact thing happened to me, I took a break and I felt something in my joggers and I saw one of these, I’m glad I saw this video years ago because I don’t have proper eye protection, but for the mean while I used my old glasses, thanks Chris You are a Legend
I used this method to refurbish the four wheels and the spare on my Honda. The wheels look absolutely fantastic and three coats of clear-coat give a real depth to the shine.
You're amazing dude.. I like your humbleness on teaching ❤️
Jesus was too. Watch Living Waters, Cross Examined, and Cold-Case Christianity - they’re great channels :)
I really love how you use Celsius too! Since I'm from Sweden, I know jack shit about Fahrenheit hahahah
Some of us call it Centigrade.
This is the BEST DIY car channel there is. IDK how much stuff I've learned to do by watching these videos!!!!!😆 Probably saved me atleast $3-4k in DIY repairs
I became addicted to your videos, thank you.
Just make a mark on the tire where that wheel weight came off then put it back in the same place once you've painted underneath
+Quaderben Thankyou, at least someone gets it.
If youve ever changed tires before you have no idea how those weights are a fucking bitch to take off sometimes.. Besides once u paint them, the mark will be gone
BboyIllusi0n I'm a mechanic... lol. I change tires every day. They aren't hard to get back on, or take off. and I Guarentee if you went to a local shop they'd balance all the tires for around 30-40$ if you are really that paranoid.
+BboyIllusi0n Put the mark on the tyre rather than the rim.
Exactly what I was thinking. Bugged me the whole time he was setting up, then he said he's just going to paint over it and I couldn't watch any further. You can't put a tutorial up on how to do a good job, and do something that amateur.
I’m doing my wheels Wednesday. I watched like 15 videos... this was the most helpful !!
how long did it take in all? i'll be doing mine soon
Chrisfix, you have taught me so much and I love watching you videos! Thanks for making them so awesome!
brooooo at it again with the awesome tutorials. You saved me over 2,000 in repairs on my car alone. Thanks man!
What I really like about you Chris and what made me be a subscriber of yours is that you always think about the broke ass people those who don’t have fancy expansive but proper tools and suggest the old fashioned ones :)
Great video, thank you for all the details and safety shown.
Your videos have got me thru many projects and repairs 💯🙌🏾
