Anyone know what's the best paint to get and how best to apply it?
I typed in "crackle paint" into the Search above and got 27 hits. Here's one that I started: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72594&highlight=crackle+paint
These guys do it, follow the instructions exactly and it works well, you'll need about 7 days for it to dry fully
You can buy VHT crinkle paint at most auto stores, in aerosol cans. I used it on my 308 valve covers and timing belt covers and it came out great. Image Unavailable, Please Login
google some videos on red wrinkle paint. lots to walk you through the application. IIRC VHT is the only paint source I found. I went to Napa, AutoZone, Advance Auto and Oreilly here in MN. They only stocked the black. I ended up ordering the red via summitracing.com
I also powder coated...in my home shop using the Eastwood system. You can see the process in my intake refresh video. And the powder type / supplier is in the description...
That looks amazing. I need to disassemble the plenum cover off the 360 Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
No the plating shop did all that, but if you noticed, they polished the lines and the letterings, I know it’s not the original look but I kind of like it.
I do them frequently. It's quite a bit of work that begins with stripping all the old finish. The three little words on the paint can that mean so much: "prepare the surface".
