Is there a simple technique to getting a good and consistent finish with wrinkle finish paint, I spent 2 days cleaning, and prepping a pair of cam covers, gave them 3 good coats of VHT wrinkle finish, as per instructions, and popped them in the oven at 200 degs for an hour, they came out a mess, with some wrinkles nearly 5mm high,  I wanted a nice fine finish sorta around 80grit paper |

I give a couple of mist coats then one wet coat let it dry at room temp and it will start to wrinkle you can apply more cats untill you get the desired effect then shove it a preheated oven at full chat but only once its air dried..

Just been having a good look at the covers, and seem to see a couple of self inflicted problems, firstly the covers were laid flat on a bench, allowing the me to get lots of paint on the top, which is where I have the ginormous wrinkles, the sides were lovely, so I think too much paint on the surface, and strangely, the paint has come out a cammo green colour, (it should be Grey) but peel of the surface and its grey underneath, the tin says 200 degs, I have a fan oven, so should I have dropped the temp down to 170, like I would do if cooking food??

Yeah maybe dropping the temp would help make sure your not confusing degC with Fahrenheit,
The instructions on mine says bake when wet but I got better results letting it dry...

my valve cover was done by my mate, who is a painter by trade, but the paint came from a can. It was underneath an infrared lamp for a while, instead of in the oven, to me it came out perfect.   |
