i got 2 crappy cell phone pictures here::
cant really see the 'wrinkle' texture in the picture but it stands out in person.
here you can get a better idea of what it looks like. i think it turned out really nice for a $4 can of paint. if i'm not mistaken, i believe this stuff is heat resistant to like 200-300 degrees. it should be alright for the intake manifold and maybe even valve covers.

Looks great! I am pretty sure the paint is good to 300* or more
how long did this take??
a couple hours not including putting in the oven for a few hours while it cured

oh sweet!
the few hours in the oven curing time was after the painting was all finished.
Looks awesome!
Id like to do thw coil covers on my 2012 5.0, they are plastic so I can't bake them in the oven. Does anyone know if a heat gun will do the job?

Yeah the heat gun will do the job. You dont have to apply heat it just shortens the curing time.
Cool! Picked up a can today and I'll do my coil covers tomorrow. Thanks!
Im about to pick up my new blower this week and was really interested in painting it. I really like the wrinkle effect. Is putting it in the oven or using a heat gun necessary? I dont have a heat gun but i might be able to cop one from work for a little. And im just a little hesitant on putting my blower in the oven. Did you do this with the painters tape on there?
Heat gun and oven is not necessary. I just do it because I am impatient. And what exactly are you asking with the painters tape?
FYI heat induces the wrinkle effect quicker. You can also just use a blow dryer this way to make sure you sprayed a thick coat on evenly.
think he means when you cured it in the oven did you leave the painters tape on? or already remove it prior to baking?
ya thats what I meant

i left the painters tape on it while i baked mine.. i also picked up some RED wrinkle paint, and done my valve covers.. it all turned out great.. i just hope it all holds up over time/heat from the engine..
Looks good , but in my opinion you should have taken the bolts out and replaced with some polished ones. Looks way better than stock though.
That is an awesome idea! Post up pics of your finished products fellas
