Default valve cover painting help....doing this right now

I painted my cover wrinkle red. I painted it on Fri morning and it has since cured. Well this afternoon i touched up one spot with a small fresh coat (just the one small area.) Was this a good idea after it has aldeady dryed. Right now it looks a little shiny and not a real notice of wrinkles yet. Does it just need some time or maybe i should not have done a new coat?

i dont htink you should have done a new coat,..you probably painted it at one temperture on friday,...and then it was a different temp today which will make it cure differently,..it might just stay shiney,..if you dont like it,..i suggest stripping it and repainting

If you don't have it drying somewhere warm it won't "crinkle" up.

What if i recoated that area again tommarow and put it under a heat lamp, think that will clear up n make it match the rest of the cover.

I'm not sure if you already read my DIY post I did on this subject, but heres the link:

I think if you just let it sit, or even better use a hair-dryer... It should be fine.
