14-11-11, 16:31 GMT+10#221 I have painted so many rocker covers and engine covers with VHT wrinkle plus and it has come out perfect every time, yet friends of mine do it and it's patchy? :s I get every last scerick of paint off by applying a thick layer of paint stripper, let it go for at least a half an hour then gurney it all off. Then once it's completely dry, thoroughly clean the surface with prepsol and then apply the paint EXACTLY how the instructions on the label say..

08-12-15, 18:06 GMT+10#225 Ok I've painted a few now! I bought a can from autobahn about a month ago and painted 2 then I found a can in my shed from 3 years ago and I painted another!
Both cans identical but they have changed something!
The new ones are more bright red with tinge or orange whereas the old can it a much darker red and looks more orig! Same can same numbers but something has changed in the last couple years
