One of my favourites: The 2276cc engine of DFL-member Tobi's cherry red oval. I really like it, because it's powerful, clean and it's got that old school vibe.

here is the tip with wrinkle paint

spray the part heavy but no so heavy that it runs
wait about 1-2 minutes max and spray another (2nd) coat
the heavier the 2nd coat the more wrinkle you will get

Wow, that’s a good looking engine, I really like how low those IDAs sit! Modified or "of the shelf" intake manifolds?
I can't get really short intakes for my CE heads, so I'm cutting them down. How does it change the engine characteristics?

spray the part heavy but no so heavy that it runs
wait about 1-2 minutes max and spray another (2nd) coat
the heavier the 2nd coat the more wrinkle you will get
Heres another tip if you want it to come out even say if you doing a big part I use a Hair Dryer to warm up the Part First then Spray a Heavy even Coat of paint wait  1 or 2 minutes then Spray it again the more paint you put on the heavier the wrinkle after paint has set about 20 mins on the part I go over it again with hair dryer it will start wrinkling and you can see if you need to recoat any flat or thin spots When I worked at Auto Haus They had a Building used just for packaging Auto Haus,Race Trim and Auto Gear Products they use to Spray all the Race Trim Stuff and then they Baked it in an oven in the Later years of Auto Haus they Stopped Painting all the Race Trim  Parts Manifolds,Valve Covers,Breather Boxes,Sump were all Sold and Packaged Bare.

No, can't say that's ever happened.  I did replace the cap the breather came with for one I picked up at Pep Boys (the one in the picture) and it's a tight fit.
