Wrinkle Red ONLY suits a totally stock VLT IMO. If your customising any other part of the car the red with yellow will look rat shit

Sorry mate but less is best.
But if it works out great,Doing it twice more will not help.Just remember to clean the mating surfaces of the paint.

ah rite thats a good idea, i never really though of using a bbq for that sorta stuff. i'm gettin my mates parents old oven off them to use for curing, but you cant fit a lot in it.

Ideal way to use the VHT is to sand blast and paint within 20 mins before any mosture can get to it,Then one coat enough to cover.If you have an oven,Preheat to item you are painting(you can see the mosture coming out of it,Then paint,and reheat up to 300c.
