Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Tackled another job on the Rover 827 Vitesse. A while back i removed some rust on the edge of the roof below the rubber were the doors are. I painted it but it did not look that good. And i used 1 K clear lacquer to finish it. It bothered me so i decided to do it properly now.
These i used to cover it after the sanding. A rust preventive primer, a normal primer to make sure the colour would adhere properly and the 2 K clear coat. 2 K just is more durable and strong:
Took the old girl to the shop were i work and started to cover it with plastic to prevent sanding dust to come every were. The doors had to be open of course. I sanded the area with the hand because i did not want to damage the area with a machine. I used the following gritt sand paper: 120-220-320-500 and a scotch brite:
Then i replaced the plastic for fresh plastic to prevent dust to form during painting. Rust preventive primer:
Also the lower edge because that was also cleaned to bare metal:
Normal primer:
Colour coat:
And then 4 layers of the 2 K clear coat. I obviously waited long enough between the coats:
Rover the friendly ghost (:P) :
During the curing and drying i removed the wheels and gave them a good clean. I also applied some 2 K clear on inner wheel scufs and scratches:
So happy i did this job! Really a case of; ''i need to do that properly one day.'' Now i am happy with the result!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Hi Lodein,
Thanks! Haha no it is not. It is a Rover 220 coupe that is owned by a close friend. He brought it over to the shop we're i work to have rust areas repaired. I finished it a week ago. My friend will collect his coupe probably this week.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
The amount of prep for a relatively small area is impressive. Again having the space, inside, to do such work is also very useful. Perhaps what gives me hope is that you are doing the job with 'rattle cans' and not full on air sprayers, especially as my Sterling has been damaged. Again. A lovely 7" (18cm) gouge in the middle of the rear bumper, probably from a parking manoeuvre.
Very thorough job, Marc.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Thank you. Prep is everything in these jobs. And the space on my work is a huge help indeed. You can get a very good result with spray cans. Follow the steps and follow some rules.Fastback wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 8:05 amThe amount of prep for a relatively small area is impressive.

This is an awesome channel. Especially the 2 K clear gives a deep, nice gloss and because of the 2k it can be polished after if desired.
Sad to hear your car was damaged. That is an easy fix that can be done with spray cans.

The rubbers are back in place again. First applied some wax on the bodywork and cleaned the rubbers and treated them with creme to make sure they are in good condition:

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Thanks Henrik!
After all the jobs it was nice too just take the 827 Vitesse out for a cruise. The weekend brought lovely weather so pics were in order.
Did a lot on the old girl. Coming winter i will have something of the interior restored.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Did I see your vehicles in a You Tube video that I came across? And was it the editor of 'Practical Classics' that was driving? If it was, I sold the sills that he used to fix his, albeit brief ownership, 800.
I was very disappointent when he guested on 'Edd's Workshop Diaries' and allowed Edd to be somewhat disparaging regarding the 800, particularly when Edd questioned the 'Sterling' name, saying it was silver, therefore 'second place'. Perhaps he was forgetting the national currency, 'Sterling', coin of the Realm, which was based on silver bullion. And when we saying something is 'sterling' we mean it is very good.
Rant over, your cars looked brilliant, as always.
