Hey Guys,

I'm making my own custom Dual gauge pillar pod and before i paint it (original interior colour) im just wondering if anyone knows of any primer/undercoat that produces a wrinkle texture...

I have looked in to the VHT range however all the wrinkle texture paints are red or black and can't be painted over... i was considering using a stone guard primer but i think the texture would be too rough...

HELP!

what do u mean by wrinkle?

they is a product that gives a spoted textured look like on the bottome of some bumbers. porche 4wd's and the like. it's black but can be painted over, i'll look 2morrow morning when i'm at work for you if you want?

Im pretty sure your referring to Stone Guard... please find out

Wrinkle texture - if you look at most plastics on the interior of your car (a-pillar) you see it has a rough/wrinkle texture.

use wrinkle paint...

I couldnt find the right colour in wrinkle paint... only found black and red

I have already bought the right colour in a plastic paint however i need something to undercoat/primer with a wrinkle texture

use wrinkle paint - then coat over it in the colour you need.

OR

you get a spray gun full of primer , turn up the pressure and pull the part back from gun - so it dries as it heads for the part - then the primer will be wrinkled - then paint it!

I dont have a compressor at home... i need a solution-in-a-can! lol

do the same with the can - so it sort of splutters onto the part :laugh: dust coatings only - but try to make sure its a hot day/room

What about Stone Guard Primer? or would that be too rough??

I was talking to a guy at Peps Auto today and i asked if i could paint over the VHT wrinkle (black) and he said that the wrinkle effect is due to 2 different types of paint mixing with oxygen and causing the coating to shrivel up... he said if i spray another type of paint on top it will peel/flake off...

stone guard wont work cause it's really think, a normally spray gun wont even spray it, your after a paint called 'bumper texture' i dont know if you can get it in a spray can but i'll stil.l get the brand for you 2morrow. Off the top of my head i think the brand is K&H, if you were in melbourne i could do it for ya

and with the primer idea it might work but primer needs to be dry then rubbed before painting over unless its a wet on wet primer which i dont think u can get in a car and also don't forget to use plastic primer before u put anything else over it

yeah K&H texture black. it does come in cans you can get it from repco. or i think septone does something similiar aswell. you could also try just pushing the spray cap down halfway and the paint will sort of splutter out. then give it a quick red scotch down and then paint the colour of choice. that way you keep decent adhesion :banana:

Spoke to an automotive paint store today and they said to use Moto-Spray Stoneguard Primer and use light coats until desired wrinkle is achieved then paint over with desired colour...

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
