Wrinkle paint coating Montehospital airbox DCNF

[Otto-valvole-per-tutte]

Hi all,

Is it possible to wrinkle coat the plastic Monte hospital airbox for DCNF carb setup?

Cheers, Pieter

Don't see why not if you use something like this?

Darrens right that is the stuff but play around with it and learn the HEAT thing,,,It works very well and I have had my bos done for three years now :) Soon will be doing the Turtle on the Fiat spider duals :)

You're still alive!!!

What's your status?

One could wrinkle paint the housing after sanding/cleaning to
do a Maserati look-alike finish but God the dust it'd collect!

Hi Allen,

Found this piccie in your gallery:

(great minds ... :-)

Is it just lightly sanding (what sandpapernumber?), then applying layers of paint, and then using a paint dryer to get the wrinkle effect?

Your engine bay is nothing short of breathtaking for me.
Although in the middle of my re-do mine will never look
like yours. Here in the States Rustoleum offers wrinkle
paint now. Heat resistant, unlikely. Old school was to
apply specific wrinkle paint, hit it w/a heat gun. You may
elect to source Maserati wrinkle spray paints in a can.
Me-thinks that may well be for metal though. I just got
the same Monte Hospital GRP carb cover. I sanded the
Lancia logo & ribs w/120 grit paper, masked it & painted
same w/ceramic red exhaust paint. The rest will remain
factory glossy. Dust issue again. Again, beautiful bay!!!!
