i want to paint my h22 valve cover blue but does anyone know the name or brand and color of the wrinkle paint people are using?

 

I used duplicolor high heat paint. and a high heat primer.

 

they are called whinkle paint, just ask for it

i know that but any specific brand and color, i want it to come out like the h22 blue tops

 

i used the duplicolor high heat 500 with no primer and did a few coats from about 10 - 12 inches away so the paint begins to dry a bit before hitting the valve cover giving it the wrinkle look even without being an actual "wrinkle" paint and it came out great

 

I use the same paint that I spray cars with. The cover dosen't get that hot so you can use whatever paint you want. As far as the wrinkle paint, I use Krylon wrinkle finish. You can find it at almost any parts store.

 

So, i think I'm gonna go with the black wrinkle finish paint and then paint over that with regular blue paint since i can't find wrinkle blue. Does anyone know what color blue matches the closest

 

I did this with VHT paint

That looks pretty damn good

 

what do you use to mask off the HONDA DOHC VTEC writing on the valve cover so that it doesn't get sprayed?

 

I cant find this wrinkle stuff to save my life.... where did you guys buy yours??? Ive checked pepboys, home depot and lowes...

 

I have used the black with great success. Put some heat on them while they dry to get best results.

i use regular wrinkle paint from autozone. then hit it with what ever color u want. key is to spray evenly.....

 

home depot, lowes and pep boys will not have it try online or a mom and pop place. it's called vht wrinkle plus amazon.com def. has it.

does anyone know what's best to use to mask off the HONDA DOHC VTEC writing on the valve cover so that it doesn't get sprayed?

 

i put lipstick on mine. just rub it on then when the paint is dry u can wipe it right off....some use vasiline but that's too messy for me

 

just hit the letters with a sanding block when paint is completely dry.

 

Here we go, did mine yesterday... came out pretty good. KRYLON wrinkle black, then went over it with Dupli Color Red caliper paint

 

You can tell you covered a dark color with the red, its definitely not as bright.

You can do a few things, first look into VHT wrinkle paints a blue color should be available. If not, they have wrinkle primer, spray it on and lightly spray a blue color onto the wrinkle primer.

Also to get the letters right you can do two things, cover them with vaseline, chap stick or something oily so that when the paint dries it doesnt stick to the letters. Or you can just sand the paint off the letters. Also, to mask the spark plug wire crowns, head stud openings, place tape on them and trim with an exact-o knife.

Ive used the red on previous h22 covers and came out awesome. This is the stuff you want.
