Get Paul400 to do yours, it WILL look better than new. Blasted, painted, machined, then laquered, looks amazing!

It cracked due to the high-build primer. I did a CVH one exactly the same as it has done the same. Do it without the high-build and it will be fine.

The wrinkle finish works best at high temps - mine was left in the booth over night
