Love this stuff, I always use it as well! I wait for it to fully dry, then mask around the lettering to block sand with 180 grit to get a nice etched finish
@@JamesDguy Another video idea would be aluminum polishing and which to use to coat it... either wax or clear coat? Maybe coconut oil since it's a high-temp biodegradable oil... or sunflower oil.
Nice job bro, I did mine with the black and baked it in a cardboard box with a space heater. If anybody out there doesn't have a heat gun. You can make a makeshift oven like that.
Another good video buddy and keep up the good work really like the wrinkle paint and heck yeah can't wait for the paint on project 🐼 and hope all is well with you and your family Buddy and keep the content coming!!!
Looks amazing brother. Definitely gonna be giving this a try on my 1st gen neon build. Just curious if you consider a self storage unit as a temporary garage. That's what I use up north here in Canada. Pretty cheap work space for around 70 a month. Just an opinion to think about.
@@JamesDguy well that's pretty shitty. To bad there wasn't something affordable for you in the area. With your skills and knowledge you could make a killing with your own shop. Best of luck bud.
Great job! I can't wait to do my vintage Lyman 4 hole turret reloading press. All manufacturers used wrinkle and now all but one (forster) use hammered powder coat! Thank God for VHT red its going to be sick 🔥 everyone who refinishes a press just uses any spray paint i want wrinkle! If I could get green for my vintage RCBS press I'd really be happy! If you spayed VHT wrinkle Black or Grey and let dry then went over with normal green spray paint do you think it would work / look ok? Those wrinkle paints from the 40's & 50's are impossible to find!
Just put it in your oven to cure on a baking pan. Set the oven to warm so your not literally baking it. It will cure and end in a nice wrinkle finish in no time. It needs heat to wrinkle correctly though so using a heat gun or the oven is must or it won't look right and you will have some spots that are more wrinkled than others.
bringing the can of paint inside if it's cold outside, a few hours prior is a good idea, and using a heat gun on the low setting, CAREFULLY, to warm it as you're using it, not a bad idea too
ChrisFix puts a big storage container over the part to keep bugs and floaters out of the paint while it dries. Another option is the ceramic brake caliper paint from an Advance auto parts store, about $10 for a large spray can. VHT might be the best brand for hotter exhausts.
This is wrinkle paint is awesome stuff and is very durable for its price. I prefer wrinkle paint over glossy paint for valve covers just because if it gets dirty its actually harder to notice. VHT does make a great product and its nothing like other spray can paints.
@@JamesDguy The ceramic brake caliper paint from an Advance auto parts store instead of a wrinkle paint, or on top of a wrinkle paint to try to make it more durable. This paint is difficult to get it to run or drip, and covers well. I have used it for brake calipers and metal roof chimneys and roof flashing- it does very well for vertical surfaces.
The civic i currently have the orange one? Its truck bed coating 1000 grit won't do any good. Also the silver civic we are doing white is already sanded down the clear and silver base color was chipped beyond touch up repair. The entire car needs repainted. Waiting on a garage so we can paint it.
Question: not ready to paint valve cover yet,(eventually). Would the wrinkle paint work on the plastic engine cover or is it not worth the effort? Just a thought
Yes it does work on plastic i have done it before. You don't HAVE to use heat for the wrinkle to take effect it just takes longer for the process to work. You could do it on low on a hair dryer and keep moving and it should be fine
I would suggest to Jeremy that he goes raptor liner black and white for Project Panda 🐼. Way more durable plus it'll give it a almost furry effect. Plus I think it would draw in a ton of views and subscribers 😉
Moore Motorsports James Dguy well I’m having trouble getting the rocker assembly to go back on to the head after I got the cams switched out and I couldn’t find anyone to help me so I went and asked the guy at keevers on 30th and showed him pictures of everything that happened. Well he gave me a few suggestions on how to get the assembly back on but he asked if I have pulled the head yet so to see if there was any damage and I told him no because all the valves were still in the head so it seemed fine and he told me anytime a camshaft snaps or a serpentine belt breaks on a motor like that it’s like a 98% chance that it bent at least one valve.. so now I gotta pull the head after just doing a head gasket job and a bunch of new parts to have the head fixed or replaced. And I asked him about how much to fix it and put new valves in and it’s about $400 for everything including labor.. I can just buy a new head for like $300 I’m so frustrated now
Using the acetone like he did is sooo unnecessary. After its dry you just take a sanding block to it.. comes out a beautiful bright brushed aluminum finish.
I should add take a razor blade to it first to get most the paint off the raised lettering. Then take a sanding block to it. I used to do this probably been 15 years or so ago now.
It don't turn out like you would think. Wrinkle paint is suppose to be a satin/matte finish. if you were to clear coat it then you should use a satin clear but its not necessary since the wrinkle paint is durable on its own. Its more durable than your typical glossy or matte spray paints. Idk if you watch till the end where you can see its matte finish or not but it looks perfect without the clear and last a LONG time. If you don't plan on taking it off alot it should last for years.
Love this stuff, I always use it as well! I wait for it to fully dry, then mask around the lettering to block sand with 180 grit to get a nice etched finish
For a better finish on the letters and emblem, block sand the paint off in a single direction.
Great video, thank you for doing this video.
No problem. Its been kinda slow on the channel and i felt this was a prime opportunity to get a video out!
@@JamesDguy Another video idea would be aluminum polishing and which to use to coat it... either wax or clear coat? Maybe coconut oil since it's a high-temp biodegradable oil... or sunflower oil.
Thanks for the video idea!
Yea this stuff is really good. It won’t wrinkle unless it’s warm. Warm the part first i found was good.

I didn't knew about the heating gun trick. My valve cover turned up very smooth and kinda orange but with a different spray
Won’t react without the heat, I found the same.
Man I.have a can of this stuff I bought years ago when I had my civic. Lol never got around to using it. Still brand new.
Do you think using a black or gray under would give it a darker red?
Good old D-Series valvecover
Awesome doing mine when my gaskets arrive
May I suggest filming during daylight hours, or buying a light.
Looks nice ! 💯

derf yerots We have camera monitored units here so that wouldn’t work they were very clear about no working on cars there.
@@JamesDguy well that's pretty shitty. To bad there wasn't something affordable for you in the area. With your skills and knowledge you could make a killing with your own shop. Best of luck bud.
derf yerots Yea i am working on it slowly but surely
Great video bro
Thanks bro appreciate it.
Oooo that's nice!
Wow that's was up beautiful job

Yea it stinks !!!

@Five hundred 20s Not a gas oven. Electric oven. Perfectly fine. Also should note put on warm-200 degrees.
Are you saying I shouldn't use the rosebud on my oxyacetylene torch to heat up the paint can?
You are competent enough to do it but some people are NOT. Just a general you shouldn't but i didn't say i don't do it lol
@@JamesDguy im just joking btw

Should take some 1000 grit to the honda and shine it up.

I was talking about the emblem on the VC.
OH lol DUH! Yea im thinking of doing another video on polishing
Looks good gonna try it

can you spray an entire car with this paint? i know its not recommended but i want to know if it can be a lasting paint job thanks
What condition is it in now? Without primer mine only lasted a few years. Gonna redo it with proper etching primer or some actual aluminum treatment
I would suggest to Jeremy that he goes raptor liner black and white for Project Panda 🐼. Way more durable plus it'll give it a almost furry effect. Plus I think it would draw in a ton of views and subscribers 😉
I said the same thing. We are doing Rustoleum gloss white with black bed liner on all the black stuff
Nice bro bad news on the accord though 😞
What happen?!

Do they make a blue wrinkle finish?
Yes VHT number SP206
Wow!
Would you recommend sanding the lettering after it all dries?
Nope
Soo thats the paint that makes that effect, hrrmm
I suppose you could clear coat it if you wanted a gloss finish. Looks great
The durability will increase as the paint gets baked by the heat of the engine.
I would of left the honda red also. Looks smeared now.
Can't capture the real beauty on camera. It looks perfect in person. Maybe turn it on HD 1080p60fps
Moore Motorsports James Dguy yea it’s clean good job

Polishing the H and Honda would have made this even better imo, why have it old and dirty silver looking🤔
U forgot the first step primer
Doesnt need primer lol
What grit would you recommend for a plastic intake plenum?
1200
👍👍👍👍👍
No Eastwood wrinkle paint is way way way better you got screwed bud sorry
GOOD SHIT! NOT CACA! DIY! 😁👍🇲🇽👏
souless m Thanks!
Clear coted bro ill be more durable
You don't clear coat wrinkle paint
@@JamesDguy try it in your chanel we want to see it

No primer?
Yep, I did it straight on to an alloy inlet manifold about 4 years ago and it’s fine.
