I'd like to know this too. Looks lovely!

 

[matty32]

you can do your own , i believe a few people have

but im just saving up to get MINES to do mine because i think that colour they do is rather horny!

 

[*Shane*]

where can it be bought from does anyone know ? does it come in a normal spray can or what ?

 

[Jags]

You can get red or black crackle paint in a can from Frost.co.uk

For a good finish you need to use a crackle powder coat and bake them. You can cheap powder coating kits on Ebay, just make sure you have a big enough oven and an understanding wife. This is a plenum on a Toyota 4A-GE turbo engine of mione that was powder coated with a cheap Ebay kit:

[mattysupra]

red one is mine (nismo/omori factory built).

The other one i think is mines ?

P.s ignore my cam cover! the original was damaged when i had a minor engine explosion !!!!!! mine now has a nice clear cam cover!

Love the way you say minor engine explosion matty lol

Thats what i got on mine too at the moment, greddy clear cam cover, with a greddy belt and greddy cam pullies (happy with the look at the moment) , just checking out potential future engine bay looks

It was minor mate! Just managed to take out the pulleys/covers etc with it.

Looked very impressive tho!! It could of been worse, i have seen vids of pistons etc managing to get inside the car with the driver!

That's my car. It's a very nice finish and gives a nice understated look.

I did my own using the red paint from Frost. Looks almost identical to Mattysupra's genuine Nismo covers.

What's it like for taking the heat, and having fuel on it, do you know? Is it cold curing, or do you need to heat it after painting? Thanks.

 

[dan-hipgrave]

I painted it just like you would any other paint. Left to cure in direct sunlight (the first piece I painted didnt wrinkle fully and I put it down to improper curing, and I would never get away with using the oven!).

This paint is designed to take the heat, cant say about fuel as my engine bay is clean as a whistle
