Thanks.
Anyone know any stores that carry the VHT paint? I'd like to pick some up tomorrow. If not I'll order it.

To anyone that knows: don't you have to heat painted part for the paint to set? Like, put it in the oven?
That's what's made me not want to krinkle mine. I don't have an extra valve cover or intake manifold.
But if I'm wrong, let me know!

I'll let you know tomorrow... I'm doing an intake and 2 valve covers.

I'll just set it out in the Texas heat. SHould be cured in about 10 minutes if it's as hot tomorrow as it was today.

UV curing is nice. I normally put said item in a cardboard box (keeps dust off too) with a small ceramic heater inside the box. Heats it up to HOT and keeps it that way.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast

What you guys think about coating a muffler with krinkle paint? Mine is so dull now, and the tip is rusted to hell. Been meaning to get something done about that..Comment

i wanted to do mine but i was just going to use bbq paint. krinkle paint would look weird on a muffler i'd imagine.I retired my E30 for now...
