getZ Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Anybody ever use this wrinkle coating paint from Eastwood. http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=106&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=389&iSubCat=1440&iProductID=106. I had some small dash panel trim I wanted to try this on. Just wondered if anybody had an opinion/tips on this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 yes, I have used it. i couldnt get it too work after multiple tries. It wrinkles just not very evenly... i gave up on it. Talk to prox i think he used the stuff for his motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigenOut-S30 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I just went to autozone and used duplicote wrinkle black on my valve cover and it worked pretty good. Here is a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I personaly have never had real good luck with it. I've tried with and without heat but, never get results that I would call acceptable for anyting that was very big. It must work or they would quite selling it. Right?

240hoke Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I also remember having better results when the air temps where hotter. It wouldnt wrinkle if it was very cold outside. But at anyrate, i will say that the wrinkle black powder coat eastwood sells works great. I use the stuff whenever i can. Works best to hotcoat the parts out of the oven and you can watch it wrinkle.

Synlubes Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I have used VHT brand (spray can) with very good results. As with any "paint" project the surface prep is most important. The best results I have had is to sand (or beed) blast the part and then use clean varsol. I have not tried it yet but Acetone should also work well. Let the part air dry in direct sun for a couple hours and then spray on the coatings. I usually go with 3 or 4 coating within like 3 to 5 minutes of each other.

getZ Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 I guess I just give it try and see what I get. It's only for a couple of small parts, the trim around the map light (that I will make out of aluminum) and a face plate that goes around my vintage air control panel. Heat shouldn't be a problem. I don't think we will see a high under 100 degrees until next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
