What's Hiding Under This VL Calais? | Stripped Back to Bare Metal

Grant drove his rear clipped VL Calais all the way down from Mildura to get it done right at CK. It had a respray 20 years ago and looked mint in the sun, but under the LEDs it was full of dust, wax nibs and bad panel gaps. So we stripped it back to bare metal. What we found under the paint: rust in the lips, the back panel and around the rear window. Damo walks you through the whole process: rust repairs and new lips, why acrylic over old paint fails, epoxy primer, blocking, panel gapping with the ruler, horizontal gaps on the bonnet and boot, and cavity wax so it never rusts again. Drop a comment: would you have stripped it or kept the old paint? 🔧 CK Paint & Panel, Melrose Park SA Collision repair, smash repairs, custom fabrication and full restorations.
