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!

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 - 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...

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By PLYNX · Posted

      And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !

      H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.

      This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.

      Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
