I have an excellent condition OEM wrinkle red off my 45k miles type s that you can have. The vht wrinkle red doent match the OEM red. It's a little pink. I may try wrinkle red again and change the process of drying.

I have 2 spare covers being sprayed sparkle yellow and 2 more on my way and another 2 soon.

Sparkle Yellow Cover all done.

I do wish Honda did a better job of making every rocker cover an even cast, some covers have really crappy imperfections in the metal that wont sand of build over. Luckily they are small and the colours wins overall.

You know how the red top cam covers have texture? Are you able to recreate this affect with another colour?

Thanks

One thing i can try is to use my texture paint and then spray colour ontop and seal is with Matt Lacquer or a gloss finish.
In fact im gutted i didnt try that with my white cover.

Well heres another. I did think how long before i get ONE of the Ford Colours. And here is one.

For those going to japfest, you will see it on its car with its new owner.

Does look good in sunlight.

FORD ULTIMATE/CELEBRATION GREEN (ie jobby loads of pearl 80% with a ridiculous low hide.)
This is a 2 stage colour ie colour then lacquer but it makes life easier if you do it as a 3 stage. 1st 2 coats are brilliant white, the 4-5 coats of Ultimate green and the lacquer. The white helps develop the tone better.
