How to Detail Faded Paint by Hand (Paint Correction)

I really am happy I found your channel, I've always worked on cars a bit with my dad but am no mechanic, but recently I've had a lot of interest in fixing cars. These videos are a wealth of information on a lot of different things, and even more so I love the enthusiasm for teaching others and helping them learn to fix their own things, it's really wonderful to have someone teach so much, thank you!

Can I sand and spray the car in another colour? Mine has sun fading spots and thought of doing this repair but with a different colour. Blue to Black. Possible?

@chrisFix
I followed these exact steps but after I apply the compound and Shine then buff, how do I prevent swirl marks because it just doesn’t blend in like yours! 😵‍💫

This channel has helped me probably 25 times over the years. Thank you! ❤

I did the headlight restoration the same but added some headlight coating rather than ceramic coating. The headlight is clear but has a yellowish tint to it, is this because of the coating or should i have used 4000 grit sandpaper too?

dude imma cum

Shouldn’t you clay bar before compound?

Shoutout to the film planning and editing! Specifically the before and after footage cuts and audio!

really nice job, congrats, now i will do mines, and i will be one more suscriber from now , god bless.

Is the primer necessary?

as always thanks for making gold content

My goodness, this video is really helpful, i feel a lot more confident when it comes to needing to repaint my car, but i have a lot more damage to repair, peeling clear coat (bonnet/hood basically has nothing left, fender is peeling, trunk lid is peeling and just worn out and chipped paint everywhere. Such a poorly maintained vehicle, but, these videos of repairing and correcting from A-Z is a lifesaver, thanks Chris, keep this up, love every one of em!

Chris, your videos are so incredibly helpful. Not a single minute wasted, honest recommendations and techniques that are actually applicable at home. Thanks a lot!

I wish I could work on my own car without going completely freaking insane the second I run in to trouble. One of my spark plugs stoped firing and I couldn’t find my spark plug socket so I threw a bottle jack through the windshield. Then I ran up on my car with pick ax and beat the dog piss out of it. My mom got so scared of the insane way I was acting she called the law and they came out and saw me out in the driveway with no shirt on screaming my head off. One of the two cops axx DC Jed me to calm down but it was way too late for that so I just started chasing them around my car until I got tased

Now to superclean the interior and engine compartment. Then sell it for $5000!

what is the second option after alchohol🤗

So I watched this video was so excited to restore my trailblazer finally have the 02 red/ maroon looking normal. All it did was put an amazing shine on the fade. I watched so many videos I guess if to much clear is gone then paint it’s self most lose its pigment. What’s your opinion??

Damn mirror finish great job Chris

GOnna do this to my car soon hopefully. How could I send before and after pictures?

Wow I watched your video and was very impressed 😊

Kinda insane bro, great job

Oh thank god my raiiii- Transmission ended

Dude, dude, DUUUUDE, you are a car GOD !!!

Also, your video making and content creating skills is amazing. I don’t say this to everyone.

I have a question, too. It’s impossibly difficult for me to tell at a given time in most of your video whether your voice is a voice over later added to the video or recorded simultaneously with the video.

Is there a rule of thumb for me to figure it out in your videos? How often do you voice over if you voice over at all? It’s just bugging me so bad man, sorry. 😆

BRO, THE VIDEO WAS MIND BLOWING AWESOME!! 🤯 😃👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Cant wait to use these tips and tricks on my like colored Hummer! Paint looks exactly the same as this trailblazer.

Working outside means that you can get specks of dust, dirt from trees, pollen, bugs, whatever, stuck in your new paint as it's drying..... right?

There its a rezon why you have 10M subs, really an amazin video. Greetings from Chile

$500 for this car?

Wow I like it😊❤

This is awesome!

I should have taken the replacement door to the auto body paint shop before replacing the damaged door with it. 😒 It's much easier for the auto body paint shop to get the like new paint job than somebody with a rattle can at home .

Bahtareen 👍🏻 awesome

Previous owner is probably regretting not washing and cleaning before selling. He could’ve gotten at least an extra $200 bucks.

The hey guys chrisfix here never gets old 😂😂😂

Would you need to store the car indoors while the paint completely cures?

He ishm holding camera bro😂😂❤

Hey Chris hope I could get a response but would you recommend this method of headlight restoration using a ceramic coating or would you recommend your original headlight restoration video where you apply clear coat, just a thanks in advance! And great video!

For the the headlight restoration can I sand with 400 and 2000 grit like you did with the pt cruiser in your other video and still use the compound and polish?

You are truly an artist!! Greetings from Italy

This could be titled “how I made $9000 in profit in less than a day”

What a cool cat! A master of his craft!

How much time did this all take?

I'm the owner

How long is this good for?

I have a question. I have a new 23 Gr86. Had it less than a year, and it has tons of swirl marks. Would me compounding and polishing work to get rid of the superficia marks it has? Then clear coating it afterwards.

Are you legit street car guy?

Awesome results!! Thanks for posting!
