VHT Wrinkle Coating - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 01-02-2012

Well, I was going to PC my intake but I had most of it done already in VHT so I am going to leave as is.....of course after alot of trial and error the key to a good VHT finish is preheating the parts and giving it low heat as it dries...

I had an issue with the plenum paint not wrinkling, my garage was 65-66 degrees, can says 60 is ok, so after some frustration....I heated up the intake with a hiar dyer, painted it, then brought it into the basement with temp set at 72, placed the hair dryer in the TB opening on low air and hot....stuff worked great.

PS: keep the hair dryer rear intake clear so it does not overheat....and stay close by I do not want anyone burning down their house.
