Wrinkle Plus, Flat Black

I just got a can yesterday and I love it. Full disclosure, I'm not using it for engine parts or per the manufacturer instructions. I'm making a prop replica of a raygun (long story) and wanted a very specific finish. If you're looking for that look on plastic then this couldn't be easier. It looks just like old mid century military bake on paint like was used on ships and helecopters, ect also found on old metal cameras a lot for some reason. Best method I found was to apply heavy coats waiting 5 minutes in-between (like they say on the can) but then imediatly drying them with a hair dryer until they wrinkle. It's very fast and provided excellent results. It came out super even and looks just like what I wanted. Like a professional did it. I'm not sure if it's as durable as the manufacturer stated method but it seems to be pretty tough. So if anyone is interested, yes, this works on plastic beautifully and will have many purposes beyond engine paint. I could see this working for model war ships, airplanes, guns, you name it. If you're a maker or model builder I can't recommend this highly enough. Everyone who's seen it so far has been gaga for it. Plus, once you dry it to a wrinkle it's dry, no rediculously long waits. Just thought I'd mention. Thank you VHT. I know it's not what you intended for your product but regardless you now have a repeat customer for life.

I've never used anything like this to paint car parts, so I had some doubts if I was going to even get some wrinkles after painting my valve covers. I read the directions probably 5 times and went to work. First I had the old paint sand blasted, then I used a coarse wire brush wheel on my high rpm air tool to get them perfect and down to bare metal. I would say just using the wire brush wheel would have been sufficient, though. I made sure the valve covers were very clean and dry (used brake cleaner to clean and let them air dry). You HAVE to put on thick coats on every "pass" or else you get thin wrinkles that are almost unnoticeable. This being my first time, I was worried about the paint running, so some spots are thin, but I'd say 99% looks like it should with nice thicker wrinkles. To cure I didn't use the oven because my girlfriend would have killed me. Instead, i just let them air dry in the garage for about an hour, then put them out in the sun for the entire afternoon, then again the next day. I've put about 1,000 miles on the car so far without any issues. It really made the engine bay come back to life!!

I've used this product in the past for head covers and other metals. I purchased this to paint a dash board but unfortunately the wrinkles did not form even in 105 degree weather. Good product but not for dashboards or other plastics

VHT is the only automotive paint ill use when it comes to high temp. This specific wrinkle paint works very well if used correctly on a well prepped and clean surface.

I would use primer first if you are prepping a painted metal valve cover and have areas with exposed metal and sanded paint on the same surface. I prep perfectly, meticulously, and proudly; as lame as that sounds. I put hours into my dremel tool, hand sanding, block sanding, taping, hobby knifing taped areas to that uniform round we are after. That prep is great with a gloss engine enamel, but the wrinkle doesn’t show uniform on exposed metal as it does on prepped painted metal. That said, it still turned out great to the untrained eye, and by the time I unmask, add my black billet coil cover, oil cap, and dip stick, and finish it off with an exposed Honda logo polished just right, it will be a solid 3 footer that I will still be proud of. The paint is bright red, in person a bit darker than the photos show, but just a tad brighter red than Hondas oem red valve covers. I personally chose to bake after 30 minutes of flashing at 200 degrees for 2 hours. I will then let it set for 2 days before handling.

Came out great on my Miata valve cover. Been almost a year since painting and still holding up great.

Use this to paint a Valve Cover in a 2k honda civic a it looks nice, came out really good. The wrinkles gave it a added dimension. It looks like it has a lot of smooth cracks in the paint.

Easy install , don’t forget to bake it !

エンジンルームの樹脂製カバーを結晶塗装にしたくなり、某YouTubeで紹介されていたこちらを購入！ 結果的にしっかりと縮み塗装が出来て大満足です！ 結晶塗装特有の縮み感をしっかり出すには、塗装後に即ドライヤーかヒートガンで熱を入れてあげることが大切です！ 夏であれば塗装後に放置して乾燥させるだけで縮むかと思いますが、熱を入れた方が間違いありません。 出来ればドライヤーよりも高温になるヒートガンがおすすめ。 2層目までは薄めに塗り、3〜5層目は少し厚めに塗りました。 都度熱を加えて縮ませながら乾燥しました。 一般的な塗装と違い、熱を入れるという一手間は必要ですが、他にはない結晶塗装がドライヤーだけで出来るというのはとても素晴らしい製品だと思います！ 完全乾燥後は硬さも出てとても綺麗な仕上がりです！

簡単にチヂミ塗装が出来ます。焼かなくて良いのでこれ一択

しっかり。縮み、良かったです。

ハーレーのリンクル塗装が剥がれ補修に使用しました。 部分的だったので容器にスプレーし筆塗りで使いました。 塗ったあとドライヤーで熱を加え縮みを出しました。 純正塗装のようにはいきませんでしたが仕上がりには満足しています。 もう少し縮み模様が細かくサンドペーパーのような感じになればと思います。 スプレーするとなるのかもしれません。。

1997のライフのヘッドカバーを外したついでに塗りました。大満足
