Just picked up a 340 air cleaner that needs a repaint. I was going to use black wrinkle paint from the auto parts store. Is this the way to go? If so any tips for a good finish? Thanks.

Man that looks great Joe! Didn't know this could be done. I can ck with my local powder coaters and see if they offer it. Did the baking damage the gasket in the lid?

Great job on that engine, looks great. Did you apply any heat to help it wrinkle?

Used a spray bomb over primer, heat here is your friend. Sprayed evenly and then use a heat gun to get a even texture, looked factory.

Appreciate the responses. I guess I'll try the wrinkle paint first. Nice to have the powder coat option too.
Leanna @CudaChick1968 does great wrinkle coat finish work - she did 65dartcharger’s Award-winning 65 DartCharger’s wrinkle finish Commando valve covers.

Thanks for the reminder 65. I've heard many people on here compliment her work.
Thanks Don! I added a pic with Ulf's feedback.
The black wrinkle is one of my customers' most popular choices.

It just depends on what time of the year you paint it.
Painting in the warmer months helps, or as mentioned a heat gun helps in the cooler months.
