        so if you used wrinkle paint, why did you put it in the oven? was that just to bake it on or did the heat cause it to wrinkle more? i tried so kind of wrinkle paint before and it looked nothing like your's.

        the bake in the oven was to cure the paint. it was either an hour in the over or 48 hours in the air.

        auto zone and advanced both carry it along with a bunch of other parts store.

        I wasnt going to do the spark plug cover but then it was going to be a different shade of black. I plan on stripping the Honda symbol and the DOHC and VTEC like it was OEM, just havent done it yet

        I did mine about a year ago and its still holding up. However I didnt bother stripping the paint. I just sanded it.
