Hi DK,
So far, it looks like a fairly clean unit. Little rust, no apparent collision damage. What products did you use to prevent flash rusting?
Cheers from a Valiant tragic.
@alexwallace9832 hi most certainly agree I'm very impressed with the actual condition of the body underneath what looked to be alot worse than it was I'm excited to get into more serious work but it does take time. As for the products I'm using I'm a very big fan of the "Melomotive" "Restofinish" brand of restoration supplies have used them for quiet some time now in my day job and have not been disappointed so basicly the panels once in bare metal are treated with a rust converter called "Rustgo" then cleaned down with "metal prep" and sealed with "Afterblast" all products under the "restofinish" brand roof was in bare metal for 3 weeks prior to me doing qtrs and had heavy rain and cold days absolutely zero signs of any surface rusting etc :)
Sorry for the long rsnt but hope this helps 😎🤘
@dksgarage189 Hi,
Thanks for the info,
There is no need to apologise for good information. This video came up on my feed this morning. Subbed right away.
I have been using ferric based rust inhibitors until I found out that there are adhesion issues with etch primer sealers that i was using.
Cheers mate.
@alexwallace9832 awesome thankyou 🙏 and yeah adhesion is a scary thing you put alot of trust into the products you use and its alot of money to redo paint and panel so we all definitely want to do it as best as we can for the best budget we can do but 100 percent look I to the "melomotive" brand there youtube has some great content aswell as their Facebook and instagram also. I will be using a ton of there stuff throughout the process of this ute and got some real handy tools from them that make certain body lines a breeze to work on
@dksgarage189 Hi DK,
Thanks for the insight 👍
Cheers Mate.
With the bare metal prepped to stop the surface rust, once you’ve done repairs and all that, what do you do to get jr ready for paint, take all the sealer and tht off?
@MrBronsen15 so the product I am using to seal it is fine to paint over just need to key up the surface so my usual process on something like this in bare metal is to seal it up like it is then 80 grit sand then 2k epoxy prime sand then do my body filler work once that's done I move to a polyester primer sand then onto a high build normal primer then onto final paint will be moving though the stages as we progress but sadly this stuff takes time so will be a long series of videos to come. But long story short this sealer you can paint over its just a step I take when doing my metal work so I'm not having to prime and reprime areas to weld so cuts cost and time in the long run :)
Yeah beauty, thanks for that, I look forward to them, just ease up on the bloody waffle will ya 😂
lol j/k
