Did they ever get there act together ? I remember a lot of distributors having issues with there faulty nozzles.

 

I used Krylon Red Wrinkle paint on my valve cover and it came out flawless and has been that way for over a year.

I'm testing the krylon on a few parts right now, and it looks just like the pic above.

how long does it take for this stuff to cure. It's sat for about a day, but I'm sure it's gonna take longer to harden.

I'll most likely switch to the VHT. I like the looks of it bettter, but wanted to try the krylon just to see.

I havent had experience with both, but VHT Red Wrinkle paint worked great for me.

It is very important to follow the directions on the pain can, you need to do heavy coats in a short amount of time and you hgave to put it in the oven for an hour at about i think 250 degrees, the oven tightens up the wrinkles. Good luck to everyone who tries it!

 

either or should be good.

 

Well, i just finished my valve cover. I think it turned out pretty good. It's still gotta set a while, but I used a blow dryer between each coating and preheated the valve cover before the first coat. everything layed down good.

I'll be honest, I did screw up the first coat. So, I stripped the whole valve cover down, again. and redid it. I think I'm gettin the hang of it now.

here's a few pics.

Preped and ready for paint
