Definitely gives an in depth perspective 👌

It's a product called "restofinish polyester primer" it has way more build to it than a high build primer it's more essentially thought of as what they called back years ago "spray bog" so after that it gets normal high build primer done the black stuff is mainly heavy build so you cab sharpen lines up and get everything dialled in alot more

@@dksgarage189 excellent thank you!

@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 :)

@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

@@MrBronsen15 😂😂😂🤘

@michaelchandley1066 much appreciated 🙏 but the heater units all a1 now and also I have plans for my stock rear garnish when I get into the paint side of things but do appreciate the offer 😎🤘

@briantye110 hi mate they are just some old 17s atm car when I bought it had cheap wheel spacers so I am yet to get rims with the correct offsets and stuff to suit this but just have old 17s on it to set it all up and check clearances of everything to suit a 17 inch wheel 😎🤘

@alexwallace9832 yeah Toyota's have always been my thing 😎🤘

@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.

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......

Much apreciated mate and yeah there's always a few turkeys when it comes to cars but I get really good feedback outside of yotube in regards to these videos and also the owner loves them cause he doesn't get to see it happen so this gives him an in-depth view of things and the products used 😎🤘

@crabjoe current way things are brakefluid is more expensive that paint stripper just went with the cheapest option I could

@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

Can use the skip function to avoid listening to me waffle on 😂👌 the choice is yours

This isn't my first rodeo no

Indeed off to a good start

Yes it's a 76 VK vin tag also label it as a dodge not a valiant 👌 and yes all the orange panels are donors from another car as it's just what the owner of the car liked 👍 but as I stated I'm not really a valiant guy so I definitely don't know much in regards to specifics only what's infront of me :)

That's awesome 😎🤘 and hopefully you can get some ideas and inspiration from the craziness that goes on in my garage there an awesome little rocket cheap to build and will last forever if looked after solid toyota 👌

Much appreciated! Mate 👌
