Gus 5 Report post Posted August 2, 2005 smooth finish - any engine enamel (black and grey only really work....everything else looks gay) krinkle - wrinkle paint (textured finish, looks pimp, hard to do right) bear in mind both paints need to be warm to paint....+20"C works...otherwise they f**k up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gus 5 Report post Posted August 2, 2005 nope....but prep it good (ie clean, sand, the works). the primer isnt heat resistant....might bubble through??? dont know enough to say for sure though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bezzal 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Pioneer Autoparts, 12 Mowbray St, Chch. They do both Enamel and Crinkle finish. For the crinkle I just use a Hot Air gun for the heat. You can get them from Bunnings for $19.95. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
