Black Crinkle Finish

[Balvar24]

Fred, Others,

How are you guys replicating the Black Crinkle finish on your restores?  I've got another project coming up (someday) and was wondering how to get a similar finish.

I use VHT Black Flat Wrinkle spray paint --

Clean the parts to be painted

Sand down any loose paint

Blow it off

Apply the paint after taping off areas that should not be painted

Bake in the paint oven for 25 minutes at 200 degrees

Let the parts set for 30 minutes after removing from the oven

Assemble the reel

Best,

Fred

Thank you.

Fred, you go right over the old paint then?  any primer, etc?  or do you just knock off any lose paint and go over the remaining paint without any more prep?

It's available at home improvement stores, auto parts stores, etc. for about $6-$7 a rattle can.      Rudy

There are some Rustoleum products.  But, I don't think paint is the place to scrimp on cost.  The time to do the job is worth a whole lot more than the paint itself.

THanks Rowdy!

!!!!CHEAP!!!

Back in the Day we use to paint Lacquer  on then Enamel over it to get that effect.

I think it is the opposite. Lacquer on top of enamel crinckles. That's why you have to apply a sealer on enamel to be able to apply lacquer over it.

There are lots of places, just Interwebby Search it. If you buy it over the web you'll have the added cost of shipping, though.
