It's a cold weekend... Did you use a heat gun to bring out the wrinkle while it was drying?

yeah, did it in the sun yesterday and let it bask between coats then finished it with a heat gun. was gonna use BBQ for actual rocker cover, but seeing how uneven the spread was on the test subject, decided it would be best properly suspended and with decent prep-work since the cover is already painted, just chipped and starting to peel.

It's not that tricky... I just rubbed mine back with some of that green brillo pad stuff to get rid of the corrosion buildup, then wax and grease remover, then sprayed it with wrinkle black according to the directions on the back... Then hit it with the heat gun for a few minutes... keeping the heat nice and even.... it'll take a while, but pretty suddenly it'll reach the dryness point where it starts to wrinkle... you'll see it spread over the surface as you move the gun around.

I also did the crossover pipe, BOV and R34 strut brace in black wrinkle... and the exhaust manifold head shield in high temp black as well. Came together really nicely, looks clean and still looks almost stock until you put it next to a real stock car :)

I painted dat strut bar bro :P

I think with wrinkle the best results I've had have been cleaned & prepped well, preheated with heat gun so it's warm to touch then coats in the order it says on the can with 5 minutes and a bit of heat between coats, then heat as final and let it sit and cure for 24 hours or so, otherwiseeven if it feels hard it;'s still soft underneath the top layer and you can actually tear the surface and move the wrinkle leaving shiny bits if you're not careful.
