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!

Hey Chris, what is the panel is made of plastic such as a plastic roker panel or dog leg. Will this process work?

Every time you say/write "wooder" I will assume you are saying "water", just saying!

Recently someone keyed my car, I used your method. My car is a dark blue color (Audi Scuba blue) when I started so sand down the applied paint, it faded and the scratch came out as faded blue. I'm not sure if I did something wrong? anyone have any idea why? Is it the paint that I purchased or is it because of a dark color ?

I have a few questions about finding an oil leak I have tried everything I feel like and it’s driving me insane

Hey, guys, ChrisFix here!
And today, I'm going to show you how to repair
a deep scratch in your car's paintwork.
You can see right here, we have a really deep
scratch that goes across the entire fender
which was from somebody who
keyed the car, they vandalized it.
Now, if you have a deep scratch cause somebody
keyed the car because a shopping cart hit it
because you scraped up against something or
somebody scraped up against you, whatever
the deep scratch was caused by, I'm gonna
show you how to repair it inexpensively using
one of these automotive paint pens.
Now, a paint pen like this is around $15 to $20
and I want you to keep that in mind because
this isn't gonna get you 100% perfect results. It's
not going to be like if they re-sprayed the panel.
The best way to repair this would be to sand
the entire panel down to remove the scratch
and then respray and feather and blend
your paintwork into the adjacent panels.

Can you also do this to interior pieces? My girlfriend has a VW beetle 2008, and some of her interior is plastic, that is the same color as the paint on the body of the car. Am I able to do the same procedure, on plastic? It's less of scratches, and more like a chip.

This car has come so far

If it’s on black plastic and the color of your car is a bright color, I’d recommend putting a grey or light primer in it before paint.
Mario Millan
Thank you Chris for showing how to fix scratches on a white paint car
Radu Rosoga
Has anybody tryed this on a black car? How does is look? I want to do do it but I am not convinced that it blends as well as it does on a white car
ChrisFix
It blends just the same on any color. Mistakes at the clear coat step will be more noticeable on a black car,
Dzung Luong
Ok got it now , please do not mind my previous question
Dzung Luong
Eh Chris what's that bottle you are holding called?
Thanks
Saint Kenny
Wish I seen this 2 weeks ago before I did my touch paint. I had no idea you could make it look this good! I will totally redo my spots later on when the temps warm up a bit. Thanks Chris!
OSM Does

Hannah Camp
Need help!!
Today I bought this pen from an auto shop. Proceeded to follow the directions on the pen and now I have a couple of lumpy dots on my car. Then I found your video. I also already added the clear coat. They all have rust. What do I do?
I ordered the polish and the sandpaper. The sandpaper comes in a multipack goes from 1000-7000.

Can u use break cleaner instead of alcochol?
MrSlade
I’m curious, could this paint application be done with a modelling spray gun if the paint is thin enough? Might save a bunch of time if there are a lot of scratches.
Satyam Tah
You estimated 775 $ for that paint repair but in India it would cost you around 70 $ (5500₹) only .
Natalia Biszczak
when will the drift stang video come back
Ryan Olson
I did it. I sanded too hard and too wide and went through the Ford JS silver paint. Now what video do I watch? I feel the need to spray paint. Help?
Rick J
This video covered everything one should encounter while doing this job and saving hundreds of dollars. As for the 754 thumbs down, sorry if this isn't good enough for your Rolls or Bentley.
TomatoIsNotAFruit
My deep scratch is circular 1-2 mm wide, but I have a couple of them. Do I follow the same procedure or are there slight changes ?
zeimeris
personally i would like to know roughly how much time did it take to fix a scratch like this using your methods. so maybe you could mention it in your videos or at least in description if there are more people interested in knowing:)
lollywoodproduction1
does this method also work on metallic paint?
Artur G
That's a white car. Try it on a red or black car.
Artur G
@ChrisFix Thanks ☺️ I'm eager to see
ChrisFix
If I get a scratch on a different color I can definitely do it again!
Mohammad Umar

Mohammad Umar

Is it okay to use wet sandpaper???
ChrisFix
Yes

Holy sh!t $700 what con artist quoted you that I don't even charge half that to repaint a car
Jay M
@ChrisFix it definitely does keep the helpful videos coming I recommend your channel to everyone
ChrisFix
No clue why it was quoted that high, that's where this method starts to shine!
Nick Bornstein
Hey Chris I accidentally used the wrong color (I know I know REALLY a rookie mistake but I got the last VW white at autozone but it’s a slight shade different). Is there a way to remove and reapply with correct paint fix color?
Trent Sewell
@ChrisFix Will this method work with rock chips as well? I have a deep one on the hood of my new car. Thanks!

Hi Chris, I noticed entire car has these faint circular scratches. How do i fix it? I think it was from "free" car wash at dealership that they do after service. Thx
Shelby Brown

Curious how long do you have to wait before you start going into the polish...I was going to use the mt300 and the 3in1 wax polish kit

Should have used a Black car. White hides scatches

Does it work on a bumper?

Also send the video of auctioning the car...with the new owner....in your another new vlog channel.
Christopher Conkright
Do you not need to prime the scratch?
marc dubois
You wanna try this. Do yourself a favor, go to a scrap yard and get an old part to work your skills first. Keep in mind that with a base coat with little shiny things, you gonna mess up.
Cody emmons
You do really good work bro. Very helpful vid But I was curious you should do a video on driving a manuel or standard transmision car
Jenny Davies
Hey Chris, I love your videos but have you changed your advertisement settings? So many ads now! It’s honestly a bit much
