VOTE!!

Valve Cover - standard or wrinkle paint? I'm undecided but I have never seen the wrinkled ones in person. Only on OOOTOOB. So cant make up my mind.

Answers on a postcard..

Depends on how the rest of the engine bay is done IMO, if there's a few carbon touches and some braided lines, aeroquip etc, I'd probs go wrinkle, but if its mostly standard, I'd go standard.

As above, if there are other parts in the bay done with it...
Definitely needs the raised part of the cover machined too.

Mine is a course crackle and the other one is a fine finish, the lower photo rocker cover has just been skimmed on a mill to remove the powered coat and reveal the alloy,

And yes you can get red crackle,
