Can anyone post pics of your inlet manifolds painted with VHT wrinkle red (the black labled tin). I,ve just bought some but im concerned about the colour being too orangy. im really looking for a deeper red wrinkle texture but VHT seems to be the only people who makes it.

any pics or alternative brands appreciated....... thanks

i am wanting to do the same dont think this dose the wrinkle effect but i am tempted to use this

High Temperature Paint : TuneYourCar.co.uk, Just What Your Car Needs

mr.sheen

done a test piece and left it to dry, seems this paint changes colour as it drys. when i painted this on yesterday it was bright orange but now its the dark red i was looking for! really pleased with the colour actually but i would still like to see a manifold painted with it

VHT have changed their product and it does not come out as good as it use to. Loads of info on Carl Davey, specialist Subaru Impreza parts supply

mr.sheen

i looked at the carl davey site after i bought the vht paint, i then sprayed a test piece and it came out orange but miraculously it dried deep red overnight mate

im going to take a chance lol

I just bought 2 tins of the new VHT red stuff so I would be interested how it turns out. I might have to re-think my clour :S

mr.sheen

This is how mine turned out. The colour might calm down in a day or so and also this was taken in the pitch black of night.
