How to wrinkle paint your valve cover!

[@nutz4gunz457]

Heres a trick for the future. Cover all the letters with a strip of tape then tap around the edges of the letters with a rubber or plastic hammer and it trims the tape perfectly to the letter. That way you don't have to sand the excess paint off and risk damaging the paint close to the letters.

[@LATOMMYLA]

Thanks for the tip, might have to do that for my next valve cover I redo!

[@nutz4gunz457]

No problem man, the valve cover looks great. Ive alway had good luck with VHT products.

[@LATOMMYLA]

Thank you, and first time ever using VHT, was amazedddd

[@Aikidoman06]

You can also use a little baby oil then wash it off. It's still better to powder coat it yourself

[@brokenmotorwagen1328]

sanding it is faster, easier and leaves a fresh , shiny look

[@Drewliente]

the coin trick was clever.

[@ricardoacosta977]

a pressure washer works great after you apply the striper and wait for it it bubble up. then hit it with the pressure washer and it comes right off

You can use chapstick on the letters as well and wipe of later after spray

[@mrfester42]

You should use a wire brush to get those little bits of paint in those tight crevices that weren't removed with the paint stripper. It's probably not a good idea to leave them because those are the areas where the new paint will start peeling a lot sooner than you would expect!

[@Name-ps9fx]

I’ve found that it is totally worth it to let the paint cure fully...if the instructions say “cure for 24 hours”, do it. Otherwise when installing the part, any little metal contact makes a scratch that just ruins it. imho

[@smokintires8181]

For covers with embossed lettering or dips you don’t want to paint, use play-doe or model magic to mask it.

Wow, it came out really good. Wasn't sure what to expect before watching the video. Good job!

[@dropassassinofficial]

What you could have done is covered the labels on the cover with vaseline using an earbud very gently.....then after paint you just wipe it off because the paint wont stick to the cover because of the greasyness of the vaseline......I've done it a few times and it always works like a bomb

[@siliquaesid703]

Etch primer!! Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and you just DID! Love to see all these you-tubers who actually prove that the internet is a billion miles wide for knowledge but only 0.001inch deep. Proof that know EVERYTHING you see is best practice.

Even coats is the key did this on my b 16 in black sanded the logos the next day with 400 grit then a 1000 came out looking factory never thought to use a quarter for masking great idea

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

I did mine my self too and as soon as I put the heat gun on it, it wrinkled up perfect.

Glad it worked out for you!

Can you paint a plastic engine cover or is that flammable?

[@milavejar1691]

[@CodyBridge]

my mate used this painy but applied it with a brush on his intake mani. a year or so later its cracking off pretty bad. hows your rocker cover looking now its been a few years? still look good applying it by spraying it properly? wondering if i should use an etch primer before the red

[@Mav8887.]

That shit looks amazing. I'm so mad VHT doesn't make wrinkled green. I need dark green to refinish old cast steel reloading press's. Now I think I'll just use Red or black wrinkle then go thin coat of green and it should work. I should've used red on my powder measure 🔥

[@mattohearn48]

I just ordered a can from amazon couldn't find any in stores going to do this on my 03 Acura cls

[@LATOMMYLA]

Goodluck on yours!

[@mattohearn48]

Mine did not turn out as well I think its cause I used a primer on my valve covers pretty sure this stuff works best on bare metal. I also did the plenums on my IM which were bare metal with the black wrinkle and turned out great!

[@PErik-sq9rv]

Matt O'Hearn yeah,because of primer

[@norwegianwoode6870]

How long is the lifespan of the wrinkle paint on the valve cover until it needs to be redone?

[@ze_german2921]

Here is a Tip, Cover your Piece with Air Craft Remover and then cover it with plastic, Let it soak in and you will get much better penetration of the Chemical.

[@imbored447]

Is the heat gun required? Or can I just let it dry

[@ricardoronosetiko3217]

bro if you would spray a layer of primer first the red would popout more i think but its just a suggestion bro

[@freakasound]

i spray enamel then when the enamel is slightly dry, i hit it heavy with clear coat and it wrinkles without using heat gun.

[@browngal00]

Do u think this can be used on a couch? I'm trying to replicate vinayl and this looks like the closest thing. I also am hoping once sprayed it wouldn't rub off or crack if sat on.

[@gav240z]

Not sure if it's an editing sequence thing but 4:36 best not to touch it after you've cleaned with alcohol as their is oils on your skin/hands etc.. use gloves ;)

[@sgtspooner]

Has the paint held up?

[@marcusjones457]

Those bubbled up spots are fish eye. They're caused by oils on the surface left over from either improper cleaning, or handling with bare hands after cleaning

[@amaterasu8829]

Marcus Jones the paint is designed to do that, and people specifically want that result when ordering wrinkle paint

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Savage! No primer? Cooool! If you look in my channel I posted a video 5 years ago of a valve cover I painted wrinkle black. I used a bright lamp overhead so it can wrinkle. It's a valve cover from India off a Honda City. I still have they valve cover hanging on my wall 👍🏽

[@LATOMMYLA]

No primer sonnnn, and I think the heatgun method worked perfectly for me!

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Just don't let a model sit on your valve cover. Might get stuck to her cheeks 🤔

[@jimmygrant3212]

You don’t use primer with this…

[@siliquaesid703]

Which is why it peels off after 6 months use under the bonnet. Same with "exhaust paint" gone as soon as you drive hard. Red hot downpipes? A little more than 600 degrees C. More likely you will end up pissing on them to try to put the fire out (yes I know your rocker cover will, or rather, NEVER reach a high enough temperature to set fire to pain)!

[@Michael-lg4wz]

My wrinkle paint failed to wrinkle, the temperature outdoors was about 14° celsius. Maybe apply it in a heated room next time? Or maybe point a fan heater on low at it. Edit : heatgun worked

Hi Tommy Do you have upgraded engine mounts? I'm thinking of energy inserts. Do you perhaps know if this will give vibrations. I really don't need that like it was but solid torque mounts. went back to oem but I also miss the stiffness

Yes I do, I am running innovative motor mounts with 75A bushings, they do vibrate a bit but not too bad. If you want someone an OEM feel look into the 65A bushings
