pic request..... inlet manifolds painted with VHT wrinkle red
 

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:thumb:

hi mate, im after some of that where did you get it from and how much per tin ?

here you go mate....... Frost Auto Restoration Techniques – Tools & Equipment for The Restorer type "red wrinkle" into the search box

i,d wait to see if anyone else has used this yet, very orange for me lol:(

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

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 :thumb:

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 :D

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 :confused:

im going to take a chance lol:thumb:

any pics of this?

do they do any other colour wrinkly paint????

black and red are the only two colours on frosts web site

beautiful frayz, exactly what i wanted to see mate :thumb:


i think i,ll be removing all unused lugs and smoothing too, looks superb!

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

it defo darkens down as it drys mate, almost identical to o.e colour.

i,ll post pics once i,ve mine done ;)

I sprayed a spare one I have tonight on the basis of selling it - I will post up the results in a couple of days ;)

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.
