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.
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???
@@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.
Literally Chris is a life changer thanks a lot man! I restored my bmw e36 by watching your videos everyday. Every videos are detailed and easy to follow.
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.
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.
@@danc1197 you should see how they take the tire off next time you need a tire, then you'll see why not. They don't know if it's a fixed rim they're not mind readers. And last he's just letting you know so you don't end up in the same spot.
I just got a ford expedition 2003, and everything Chris is showing me, is what I will eventually be doing to my car. he is such a great guy. usually you'd have to pay someone to show you how they do the things he does, but thanks to him I can do it all myself!
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.
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!
Did my wheels today exactly as you said and it's perfect! Thanks very much for all your videos! I never would've thought, I could do some of the things you show and now I am encouraged to try more! And I absolutely love it! Me, who never really liked any form of DYI, but my passion for cars and your videos woke me. 😄 I tried some car stuff before, but it was very basic. But thanks to you I am learning new tricks to make everything better! Bought some tools, watched a lot of your videos and I am hyped! Keep up the superb content!
@@funtageHQ If you know how to google your smartphone becomes an invaluable tool, the knowledge of the entire human race at your finger tips, unthinkable magic 30 years ago.
There will always be someone who can do it better or with better products or better techniques..etc etc..So I agree its DIY "GUIDE". Not a "this is the ONLY way to refinish a wheel"... haters gonna hate.. Good job Chris.
11 hours! ... now figure out how much you paid... "yourself" / hr... minimum wages at a fast-food (burger flipper or cashier) job, down at Mikey D's, Jack in the box or KFC will give you something to compare against... plus cost of paint, supplies, sandpaper, will tell you if it was worth it. Add in the benefit of personal satisfaction - of knowing that the job was done right - 'cause you did it yourself (nothing beats the pride of workmanship you get when you do-it-yourself). Oh... no taxes either! I usually pay myself minimum wage of $50/hr. You saved about $500 - $600 cash! verses sitting on your ass watching music videos or texting your loser friends watching "porn' in the basement 'apartment' at home.
You are a mine of gold buddy... please don`t stop from what you are doing because you are doing great. This channel is more informative than the any book or tutorial. We cannot thank you enough for the hard work you are putting into these videos & cars!
Chris, your Fix-It videos are the best ones I've found by far. I for one am grateful to have found your channel and have been employing the things you've taught me through your videos with excellent results. Voted 'AWESOME' by Me!

I swear dude whenever one of your videos gets in my sub box I feel like going into the garage, stripping my car down and fixing something lol. Another great video :)
AndreAgonia I'm the exact same way. On a video he did a few months ago, he was showing u how to fix a flat tire and when the video was done I went to check the pressure in my tires lol. You're not the only one lol 😂😂

He does good videos, but there are many other excellent videos on youtube that don't even have half the attention... Subs, likes, comments, etc. There will never be enough!!!
Forgot to mention that when painting the back of the wheels, do not paint the mounting surface that contacts the hub. Doing that will create an uneven contact between the wheels and hub, that will cause vibrations. Awesome video.
@@charliewilliamssucks890 Anything that prevents paint from sticking there is fine. Like painters tape for an example. Remember to remove the tape and clean all the leftover glue from the tape after painting. Or you can just sand the paint away afterwards like the guy before me said.
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.
The first time i watched one of your videos i was hooked. There is nobody who explains things as simple and knowledgeable as you. These are the most informative yet simple videos as far as car detailing, normal upkeep, ways to prevent future damage to all cars, trucks, motorcycles, and whatever else you decide to fix. Keep these quality videos comming and thanks for the knowledge i now have. Its like having a personal mentor for free. It gets no better than this. Thanks CrisFix.
just finished watching some of your earlier vids (drumbrake restoration, exhaust painting) and I gotta say, the quality of your videos have shot upwards. now, you're much more confident and you do not speak as monotone, the editing has improved as well! keep up the good work
I found that plastic metal works well for repairing alloy wheels. It's easy to use and incredibly strong. I was able to sand it down easily and paint it with a touch up pen.
“…and that’s just a feeling you can’t beat…” couldn’t have said it better myself! That feeling is literally priceless! Thanks for the awesome content Chris!
I’m pretty sure you do realise this, but you have become legend. Your videos are far reaching both throughout time and around the globe, and boy do they help. A deeply felt thank you is needed. Greetings from Switzerland Chris!
I really enjoyed ChrisFix videos, I have learnt a lot about car systems and how to fix from easy to more complex car issues. At the same time, I have already saved thousand of dollars. The videos are very well done, nice edition and easy to understand procedures. Thank you ChirsFix.
Chris big thank you from England, have watched all videos over the last 6 months. I am a plumber by trade and have just bought and sold my first 2 cars. I am now working on my first 7 seat Opel Zafira and refurbishing some "old" new alloys. Thank you for your content
Gregory Najar I just did a fucking curb rash like 25 min ago. I was sneaking back home and fucking went to close to the fucking curb. Luckily it’s just a small spot and that’s why I’m watching these videos lol. 🤦🏽♂️
Excellent description of repairing a car wheel. Very well thought-out & explained. Pre-planned and filmed to perfection. Not too fast... and certainly not too slow. Very clear voice which enthuses the listener. Ten out of ten.
Dear Chrisfix, my husband hates you. Thanks to you and your great videos and awesome explanations, he's had to fix our entire car and the neighbors 😊 thank you -Lots of love
Just curb rashed my wheel today and was heart broken. When looking up how to fix it, Chris Fix it popped up. I was instantly relieved. Of course the video is perfect in everyway. Chris is the f*&king man! Thank you!
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
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.
Great video, thank you. A little warning about rims at junk yard: They might be bent which would make them useless without serious and expensive repair
ChrisFix no problem, I've just always loved your videos, I showed your videos to my dad, and he used multiple if them to fix his 1999 BMW M Roadster, for some examples, he used this video to fix the Curb Rash on his rear left rim, and he used the how to super wash your car to clean it, then he won a car show!
ChrisFix Hey boss man, awesome videos as usual! You ever done a video on pitman or idler arm yet??? Would love to see one. Keep up the fantastic editing and commentary!!!!!!
+ChrisFix lol it was meant to be a joke... Do you know what a rim job is? None the less it was a great video! The results were amazing. I appreciate your attention to detail.
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.
I think if anyone saves money off your tips they should pay you a donation of at least $5 and up. it's freaking worth it. make it so Chris, put a donate button somewhere if UA-cam doesn't let you then do like other places and use some of the funding places and put a link to it, I am ready to give, you saved me a lot.
One of the best instructional videos on UA-cam. 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. 😁
For a wheel, I would take some shortcuts. However, it's always best to see how a thorough procedure is done to fix something first in order to understand each step's purpose.
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.
also should remind people to ask for the stick on wheel weights instead of the clip on ones that can chip the edge of the rim when using bondo repair when getting tires balanced
Anyone else fixing their wheels during this quarantine? UPDATE: 2 weeks later I am done with my wheels. Check them out on my post on Instagram and let me know what you think! @rich.daniel_
Yep I bought my car 6 wks ago and am making basic mods thst can be easily done by someone cheap anal and not afraid to break a nail or get greasy like myself
This is the first ChrisFix video I have watched in a while and was like holy crap 7.7 mil subs! That was not at all what I was expecting.... then I realized I should have expected that at the very least. The man deserves it.
Man, this dude is really working his ass off! I feel tired just watching his videos let alone actually implementing his advice in real life.😬 Definitely, this channel is one of the most deserved of his subscribers and views out there!
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. 😎👍
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.

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 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.
You don't put the weight back on, when the wheel gets mounted on a tire, it gets balanced(new weights are added) there. They also put in a new valve stem too.
+Braa Issa The valve is replaced at the tire shop. Also, they will have to rebalance the wheel as you have added material, so it would need different weights. This is also something you get done at most tire shops.
You want to have a new weight put on in another area AFTER they put the tire on, if you put the weight back on it more than likely won't be in the right spot. The whole reason the weights are there is to balance the wheel and the only way to get it accurate is to use a machine after putting a tire on the rim. The same place that puts the tire on should also fill it with air.
Best mechanic on UA-cam been watching you for years ! The first video I watched was when you made the knife.!! I showed my brothers your videos now we all wait every new one . and I have 7 brothers lol 😂🤣😅😆 thanks for the videos we all love you and support you
This gives me hope man. I just bought myself an Infiniti M37XS and the sport wheels on it are hard to find. Unfortunately the previous owner really best them up but after watch this I feel like I am fully capable of fixing and repainting the wheels back to factory paint! Thanks so much dude. First step, take them to a repair shop to get bent back to shape

FORC3OFX F3AR nasty curb rash
F
Gregory Najar I just did a fucking curb rash like 25 min ago. I was sneaking back home and fucking went to close to the fucking curb. Luckily it’s just a small spot and that’s why I’m watching these videos lol. 🤦🏽♂️
My condolences to your family. I hope you were merciful and quick.
Excellent description of repairing a car wheel. Very well thought-out & explained. Pre-planned and filmed to perfection. Not too fast... and certainly not too slow. Very clear voice which enthuses the listener. Ten out of ten.
Dear Chrisfix, my husband hates you. Thanks to you and your great videos and awesome explanations, he's had to fix our entire car and the neighbors 😊 thank you -Lots of love
Haha, I am glad you and your husband are learning a lot!!!
Just curb rashed my wheel today and was heart broken. When looking up how to fix it, Chris Fix it popped up. I was instantly relieved. Of course the video is perfect in everyway. Chris is the f*&king man! Thank you!
Said this once before and I'll say it again, you sir are a boss. Lol
Thanks a lot!
Anyone know where I can get some ChrisFix Soapy Water?
**soapy wooder 😂😂
Highlander Hybrid Check your local hardware store
Check out his site. He is now selling Soapy Wooder stickers. Just bought some :)

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
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.
Better with originals! Much better! Congratulations!
Great video, thank you.
A little warning about rims at junk yard: They might be bent which would make them useless without serious and expensive repair
Making sure the boso who refits your tyre doesn't scratch the shit off again. Great video once again Chris
The guy I took it to was awesome! Super careful.
I remember when you were at 1,000 subs, now you're almost at 1.5 mil
Thanks for the support! I cannot believe I have fans who were with me all the way back then! That is amazing!
ChrisFix no problem, I've just always loved your videos, I showed your videos to my dad, and he used multiple if them to fix his 1999 BMW M Roadster, for some examples, he used this video to fix the Curb Rash on his rear left rim, and he used the how to super wash your car to clean it, then he won a car show!
That is awesome man!!!
ChrisFix yeah😄😄 I'm gonna find out how to put pictures in the comments, so I can put the results
ChrisFix Hey boss man, awesome videos as usual! You ever done a video on pitman or idler arm yet??? Would love to see one. Keep up the fantastic editing and commentary!!!!!!
I’m only 3 mins into this video and this guy is NICE w it. Getting straight to the point, and everything is understood and comprehensive. I love this.
Nice rim job
Thanks!
LMAOOOOOOO
Good one! LOL
I see what you did there
+ChrisFix lol it was meant to be a joke... Do you know what a rim job is? None the less it was a great video! The results were amazing. I appreciate your attention to detail.
You always says amazing! But, you are the one who is amazing!! Love your videos! keep up the Great Work!
Thanks
This video never get old👍 chris fix
Thanks Juan!
Re-watching all these videos while I prep my mustang for selling is bliss 😌 You the homie for making the best how to videos
i love how he says "half"!! it's so different to how we say it in england!! Sooo satisfying lol
love you chris fix!!
Depends where in England you're from, I'm from North East and probably say it differently to you lol
arf
Yeah innit

i spent hours repairing my $20 set of wheel covers, now they look just like new!
Bob Swardson boi
your joking? Those rims are over $ 500.00 each in Canada,lol.
T those shitty walmart hubcaps? Lol. 20-30$ at most.
That is funny, reminds of me shopping for wheel covers for my old 1992 Toyota Corolla that I sold in 2014.
I laughed so hard 😂😂
I don’t have a car but i am learning a lot
Same lol. I want to start flipping cars though so I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
Get a car then. It's an extra arm
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.
My man. You are good at making videos. Thank you for the hard work.
Thanks a lot!
I think if anyone saves money off your tips they should pay you a donation of at least $5 and up. it's freaking worth it. make it so Chris, put a donate button somewhere if UA-cam doesn't let you then do like other places and use some of the funding places and put a link to it, I am ready to give, you saved me a lot.
I would be a millionaire by now haha. That would be awesome! Thanks a lot and I am glad the videos are helpful!

I agree. Ill donate. think of it as is buying you some more tools or something :)

This guy's an immortal mechanic. He's just infinite with his trick and tips.
One of the best instructional videos on UA-cam. 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. 😁
i am so impressed with the outcome. although you make it seem pretty simple, i'm sure it was a lot of work, but it certainly shows. well done!
For a wheel, I would take some shortcuts.
However, it's always best to see how a thorough procedure is done to fix something first in order to understand each step's purpose.
@@cometcal2 Not sure if I would take shortcuts for wheels, because they are the most prone to wear. You def. want the coatings to be stable and clean.

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.
Im not sure if that's even going to be safe. Everybody would be *blanked* up
He just put a clear plastic shield wen he sprayed camera ……No worries
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.
also should remind people to ask for the stick on wheel weights instead of the clip on ones that can chip the edge of the rim when using bondo repair when getting tires balanced
Great tip! I hope Chris sees it.
Why can't I upvote comments on android UA-cam?
They could place the clip ons on the inside of the wheel as well
How Does tris balance clip work?
Because Android.
+Kim Jong-Il yes you can.
Anyone else fixing their wheels during this quarantine? UPDATE: 2 weeks later I am done with my wheels. Check them out on my post on Instagram and let me know what you think! @rich.daniel_
Yea. I was planning to polish them, but even with free time that's too much work 😂
S CC I’ve been sanding since Monday💀 I still have one wheel left. I should of never bought wheels with this many spokes....
I added to much bondo and I’ve been sanding mountains of it off 😂😂my arm hurts
Zach Ortiz I literally just started bondo work on my wheels💀 I finally finished sanding
Yep I bought my car 6 wks ago and am making basic mods thst can be easily done by someone cheap anal and not afraid to break a nail or get greasy like myself
do a vid of engine cleaning and a good detail of inside
Stay tuned ;)
ChrisFix did you make a video of this yet??? :)
I think I saw in another video that he is doing that soon
It's finally live!
Jeffry Carrascal english xtr citroen cabin filter show me where it is
This is the first ChrisFix video I have watched in a while and was like holy crap 7.7 mil subs! That was not at all what I was expecting.... then I realized I should have expected that at the very least. The man deserves it.
i love it how you give that safety informations to protect Your subs 😆🙋
This guy is the best UA-camr ever wtf
Dude, you’re amazing
Thanks
Man, this dude is really working his ass off! I feel tired just watching his videos let alone actually implementing his advice in real life.😬 Definitely, this channel is one of the most deserved of his subscribers and views out there!
Really good video, too much like work for me, but amazing how you saved the used wheels, looks like new.
Thanks Chuck!
*Chris walks into the local camera store*
Camera store guy: Spray painted your lens again?
For real though he’s probably using a lens shield or a piece of acrylic
"In this video, I'm going to show you how to remove paint from the front element of your camera lens, restoring to like-new condition."
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. 😎👍
Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it!
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
Thanks Chris, I need to fix curb rash and re chrome mine
Your going to heaven!! Great video. Proud to be apart of the ChrisFix fam.
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.
pure genius!... you rock Chris... thanks for uploading!
One thing that makes your videos so good is that you think it through before you start and say what needs to be said!
You're so motivating. But the actual work demotivates me xD thanks for your content!
The work is the best part! It is fun!
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! :)
what you mean is that you're not patient enough to do it right. ;P
CaptiN __ Dude, Man up. No pain no gain.
@@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.
I love to watch your videos chris fix
Thanks Salman!
+ChrisFix 😊
your the best , انت الافضل , عمل رائع شكرا لك
Thanks!
u didn't show how to put back the tire weight and the thing to fill air in the tire
You don't put the weight back on, when the wheel gets mounted on a tire, it gets balanced(new weights are added) there. They also put in a new valve stem too.
+Braa Issa The valve is replaced at the tire shop. Also, they will have to rebalance the wheel as you have added material, so it would need different weights. This is also something you get done at most tire shops.
You want to have a new weight put on in another area AFTER they put the tire on, if you put the weight back on it more than likely won't be in the right spot. The whole reason the weights are there is to balance the wheel and the only way to get it accurate is to use a machine after putting a tire on the rim. The same place that puts the tire on should also fill it with air.
Best mechanic on UA-cam been watching you for years ! The first video I watched was when you made the knife.!! I showed my brothers your videos now we all wait every new one . and I have 7 brothers lol 😂🤣😅😆 thanks for the videos we all love you and support you
Thanks for the ongoing support!
Very classy, great job!
Thanks!
Great work, Chris. Those aftermarket wheels were fugly.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
Can you do a video on super cleaning the inside of the car? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Pam Jones, that's coming soon, he has to clean the inside of the vandalised car.
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😊
One of the best DIY videos I have watched.
Thanks!
Soapy wooder from Giorgio Armani, new fragrance 😂
Omg this is amazing 😭😭😭 hopefully I’ll be brave enough to try after watching 20times
This gives me hope man. I just bought myself an Infiniti M37XS and the sport wheels on it are hard to find. Unfortunately the previous owner really best them up but after watch this I feel like I am fully capable of fixing and repainting the wheels back to factory paint! Thanks so much dude. First step, take them to a repair shop to get bent back to shape
