Yea mate stripped it back to bare metal, etch then high build then paint.

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
