PATINA PACER - Rust effect on the Valiant!

Описание: "Welcome to the Valiant PACER channel – where one Kiwi bloke's lifelong obsession with the legendary VH Valiant Pacer comes to life!

In this build episode, Mike Vitali takes you behind the scenes as we transform the rear section of a VH Pacer (from the two front doors back) with a full custom patina effect. This isn't about slapping on some quick rattle-can weathering – we're recreating that authentic, barn-find survivor look inspired by the real-deal original-paint Pacers out there still rolling with decades of honest patina, sun-faded glory, and character.

Watch as Mike teams up with some seriously talented artist mates in his garage. We have heaps of laughs and good times while layering up the perfect aged finish – think subtle fade, strategic wear, and that lived-in charm that makes old Valiants so special. The final touch? A slick semi-gloss clearcoat to lock it all in and give it that protected-yet-vintage depth.

This is just the start – a fun homage before we strip it back to bare metal for the full respray later on. It's all about celebrating the spirit of these Aussie icons (with a big NZ twist!) and showing how artists craft a replica patina that fools the eye and honors the originals.

If you're into classic Chrysler Valiants, custom paint processes, garage hangs with the boys, or just love seeing a Pacer get some love – hit play, grab a drink, and enjoy the ride!
