I fancy doing my rocker cover in a crackle finish. Do you buy it in an aerosol or is it like a powder coat?

 

Aerosol can mate

Can buy it here http://www.frost.co.uk/result_search.asp

Think Burton Power sell it aswell


Brian

 

i used the VHT stuff, similar to above, from an aerosol

the warm it with a hairdryer afterwards

then fly cut the top on a mill

 

how many tins did you use ginge?

 

I can have it powder coated finished for a harder wearing but the cans do a pretty good job

 

will that stuff cover up scratches etc?

i filed the ford logo and zetec bit off my cam cover by hand, and of course done a really fucking good job

need to either filler it and paint it again, or do summut that wont show it up

 

if you need it shot blasted back to metal fudge mate, bring it round mine, i'll do it at work for ya

I'm sure PeeVee the Great will vouch for my good skills

 

nice one rich, im sure ill have summut you can do lol

how big is the case thing you put the stuff in? will a gearbox bell housing fit in?



i seen the stuff you done for knickers, looks like new!

 

Found the stuff on here, works out cheaper than burtons delivered

 

or put it in the oven for a bit but make sure all the windows are open !!!

 

PM on its way fudge

 

 

not even a whole tin, maybe 2/3 rds

still have some left over, maybe do some more spraying when the weather warms up

 

well my paint came earlier, so I got cracking...


I've just spoken to my mate who works at fords, and he's going to surface grind all the wrting for me, so it should look sweet!!!

 

My mini is getting all this crackle finish




Sorry...

 

that looks like a gloss black finish

 

still wet there, if i could be arsed to take another photo you can see its crackling up nicely.

 

show some pics?

 

Get sum pic's up

I am thinking about doing my Escort Rs Turbo rocker cover as i have a spare one


Brian

 

I love crackle finnish bits and bobs, but i seems that every fooker has gone this route

 

well woke up this morning and there it is!!

Happy with that!

 

that lookz
did u just clean the rocker and spray it?

 

That looks

Will have to order some paint later i think


Brian

 

 

do you have to rub it down with wet & dry afterwards?

 

looking good

fly cut it and its done

 

Its being surface ground by a mate, which is nice!

No need to rub it down as the final finish is rough anyway.

 

and voila...

 

Looks spot on

 

looks superb mate, how much is a tin of that stuff? Any other colours available??

Luke

 

Looks well smart mate


Brian

 

 

tin is about a tenner delivered, can get em in burtons. I didnt use 2/3's of a can

also available in red.

 

That looks fucking fantastic

 

are there any picks of that in red?? Is it considerably different from a red top, i mean does it stand out as much as the black??

 

no sorry mate I havent seen any, imagine it would look good.

 

looks well cool. get it fitted

 

Looks the nuts fella

 

looks mint
