High temperature paint

[Captain Starlet]

Stuarty 7 and me are both looking for high temperature paint to do our rocker covers. Im after a wrinkle affect white and he is looking for either a wrinkle effect or smooth bonze. I have tried halfords but they seem to only have black or red. Is there any where you can buy this or get it made up.

Thanks

clive not have any ?

 

[Captain Starlet]

Never even looked as far as I can remember all he had was red but I will have a look tomorrow. I want a set of those HIDs from him they look amazing.

Use BBQ paint mate

Trick used on bikes downpipes works great and harder wearing less prone to coming off.

 

[Captain Starlet]

Where do you get white wrinkle BBQ paint from.

 

[Acid]

A diy store as for the crackle effect is easy to do yourself just trying to save you some cash mate

 

[stuarty7]

clive think only has black silver and red which is actually more a pinky/orange as i tried it first time round.

 

[Captain Starlet]

Its not like a crakle effect as such it wrinkles and goes a matt colour. Ill try and get a photo of what its like. Not bothered if its to expensive because I want it done right and the tenzo r rocker covers are like £100. Thanks anyway acid ill take a trip around them and see if anything turns up.

The wrinkle paint does look cool

If you check the DIY Rocker thread on CSC it has a few links to places supplying that particular paint

gary pm scotty as he got stuff online to do the cossies with !

Yeah, i remember asking this question on here before, the only person that had painted their VTEC rocker cover wouldn't tell anybody where they got the paint! I got mine here - https://www.usautomotive.co.uk/store/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=55

i got a great metalic gold off a shop on ebay (dont pocess the ste anymore) but he had many different effects and colours

you dont have to use high temp paint my last one was done by wee balls

 

[Captain Starlet]

Think I found on in auto spares in comber. It drys matt but not sure if its wrinkle but I will try it any way and see how it turns out. Thinking about doing the manifold aswell.

wtf is wrinkle paint?

 

[civic_c]

''wrinkle paint'' looks like cracks/wrinkles when it drys........

Captain Starlet.... dont do the mainfold, might as well heat wrap it.

also for rocker covers, i have used standard car paint with a vht base coat, but theres alot of ppl have just used standard paint, the rocker cover gets hot but not hot enough to make it flake if its prep'd right.

 

[Graham]

and dont heat wrap the manifold either as it's bad for engines from what i'm told !

 

[Captain Starlet]

This is like wrinkle paint. I have a roll of heat rap but I am wanting a turbo so I dont want to waste it on this manifold as it wasnt that cheap.

Not think a white matt manifold would go well with the rocker cover and engine bay. Maybe Ill just polish it some more graham.
