Using VHT wrinkle paint on cool side of turbo and any other part.

Just wanted to show how accurate the VHT brand wrinkle finish paint can be. All the standard rules apply before using this..

Clean the part and remove all the grease, wax and oil from it. If its shiny it needs to be scuffed for this to be able to bite....

AND DO NOT TOUCH IT ONCE YOU WIPE IT DOWN... it will fisheye just like any paint will.

This can be uses on valve covers, output side of turbos,intake tubing. Just about anything except the actual hot exhaust...

Its amazing how good this actually work...

Lay your first coat down and just lightly cover the part... It will not take but a minutes and it will be ready to lay the heavy coats.

Lay on several heavy coats... IT WILL NOT WRINKLE WHILE YOU WATCH. (or not much)... After you lay on 3 fairly heavy coats go in the house or find something to do...

It will wrinkle to perfection.... Its like magic... Go back 30 mins later and look at it... It should be pretty nice...

If not, I have had success scuffing the bad spot after it has dried and then re-coating the single spot. It will wrinkle up and blend in.

I have even played around with this stuff by painting in the direct sun... It actually works pretty good. It seems to wrinkle a little faster...

Here is how good this stuff looks when compared to a textured sticker. And it is identical to my powder coated valve cover...

And it has been on my cool side of my turbo for 8 months and its flawless...

I painted the fins on the engine of a Honda VTX1800R and they looked like Honda did it at the factory... They were perfect the whole 4 years I owned it..

This is when its wet...

This is 1/2 wrinkled. Walk away ,,, its still working when it looks like this...

It's tough enough to stand up to about anything. It's available at auto parts store everywhere. I love using it. They have 4 colors.

Here ya go.

Powder coating hasn't been as popular as it has been the last few years. I would put this stuff on just about anything.

It's can handle the heat also. Hence the name VHT (VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE)

Its not very expensive... And like I was saying in the original post .... Its very forgiving... It will let you spray over it and it will (melt) the older wrinkle paint and flatten out pretty dang good and wrinkle all together like it was sprayed all at once...

Its like 10 bucks a can i think.

It does like a bit of heat to cure faster.... RD brought up a good point... The longer it cures and drys the stronger it gets....

Remember me mentioning the sunlight making it dry a bit faster in my original post... You may be able to use a IR lamp to really cure it...
