    cheap wrinkle black?

    i waslooking for some black paint for my custom boost gauge install and all i could find was undercoating paint. I will get a pic tomoro but it looks like wrinkle black...i figure it might look good on a t1 VC.......

    You need to find some "Seymour" HI-TECH Engine Coating

    Just follow the directions and it works great.

    Or get Rust-Oleum's Hammered paint. That isn't quite a wrinkle look, but it's at least got a decent look about it.

    Krylon makes a good wrinkle paint too. i got mine at autozone, or maybe it was a checker....

    either one should have it though.

    I have a valve cover and two-piece manifold that was done back in the 2nd Clinton administration. They still look OK.

    DuPont Wrinkle Black powdercoat. The shop only charged me $100 to do my VC, Fuel Rail and Intake. Came out looking like stock. No messing with can's and having an un-even wrinkle coat.

    I used it just like the can said and my valve cover turned out PERFECT. I'm going to redo my last valve cover with VHT.

    I tried Krylon on my last valve cover due to the fact that it was the only brand I could find in this one horse town. I followed the instructions exactly. The texture looked odd. In one spot, the odd texture makes it look like a run in the paint.

    I think I got it at either Advance or Auto Zone. I'm going to look next time I go shopping.

    You can use a can of chip guard after heating it up with hair dryer to get the grain your looking for and then paint it with a black laquer base paint. If I could figure out how to post pictures I would post them. It will look good
