- Join me in the gritty world of garage restoration as I take on the challenge of stripping down the worn-out roof of a classic Valiant Ute! Armed with Diggers Brand paint stripper, I'll be showing you the nitty-gritty process of removing layers of old paint and rust, revealing the raw metal beneath.
But that's just the beginning! After achieving that clean, bare metal look, I'll be diving into the application of Melomotive Brand metal sealants. Watch as I meticulously apply these high-quality sealants to protect the metal and bring out that glossy shine that makes this Valiant Ute roof sparkle like new!

I had a crease like that one on the roof on my charger, I tapped it down with a rubber mallet and worked perfectly
@damosgarage9759 must be a valiant thing haha and he'll if it works it ain't bad at all I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the more serious side of paint and panel on this just at the gritty stage of pre prep on everything :)
Hey mate, can you please clarify the process /steps and order with regard to the three resto finish products, I kind of got a bit confused with all that. Cheers
@MrBronsen15 hi mate I do apologise for that as I didn't really elaborate to much on how to use the products more so just what I do use I would definitely browse the melomotive website they are who produce the restofinish brand products and are absolute top guys. But for me the process is just get it to bare metal how ever that would be weather it's sandblast or chemical strip like I have . Everything gets neutralised with demineralised water so its apply "Rustgo" which is the foamy product on the panel then demineralised water once treated. Then I go on to give it a good scotchbrite always wearing gloves so no contaminant from your hands like sweat etc gets ti the panel then it's the metal cleaner product to fully remove anything from the panel oils waters etc then apply the afterblast to seal it. Very hard to explain I'm not very good at that side of things. But I do my best :)
Was wondering what grit of sandpaper did you use before applying the paint stripper? Also where did you buy the paint stripper from?? Cheers.
Hi so I used 80 grit on the roof I try not to go to heavy of a grit straight up usually for me ends up causing me more work but being what has been done to this car I've had to step up to 40 grit to cut through the layers enough ti let the paint stripper attack right down into the lower layers. But its very much a case by case thing every car is different :) as for where I buy it I got this through inspirations paint just a local shop to me in Capalaba Qld but quick google search of the product should lead you to a local stockist 😎🤘
@@dksgarage189 Thanks for your reply......
Is it your first resto
This isn't my first rodeo no
Why not just use brake fluid?
@crabjoe current way things are brakefluid is more expensive that paint stripper just went with the cheapest option I could
Stop dribbling do some work
Can use the skip function to avoid listening to me waffle on 😂👌 the choice is yours
If you work as much as you talk you would get a lot done.
@craig7343 thanks but it's all part of it isnt it I mean if I don't explain what I'm doing and the hurdles I may aswell just stick to instagram reels
See ya
