wrinkle paint

They look nice. What did you use and how easy/ hard is it to get the valve cover off? If I take it off am I going to need any new gaskets or bolts or anything? Just a thought for the future is all as I want to tidy the car up a bit more to make it more pleasing on the eye but at the same time keep it original looking.

I just bought a second valvecover. I'm going to take the whole engine apart, and then fit this panted one... done also few breather mods to it.

I used VHT wrinkle paint, quite easy to spray, but you need to heat up the piece to get the paint wrinkle right.

how do u heat it up pal ? oven or heat gun

Oven would be the best and optimal. "Bake at 200°F (93°C) for 20 minutes." I used a heat gun, but it's hard to get a big item hot enough.

Im sure i have herd of wrinkle finish from powder coating, this would be alot more durable. I might be completely wrong tho

You can get textured powder coat, as we have stuff done at work. All they do is add wax to the powder and when it get baked it makes it textured.
