Thanks buddy. Looks a bit complicated to get them here.  Undecided
I've found this one but I don't know if it's the same result.
At least, it's in Belgium

Good looking engine Fabs!
I like the wrinkle paint! I painted my enginebay that way.
I used "vht wrinkle plus". It´s about the same result.
@j-f: This paint should also be available in belgium.

Yes, it doesn't matter. i've closed the upper one, the direction angle from the lower was better to hide the fuel lines in  the car. and please note there are some other ways to close the unneded one :-)
