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...

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
