Mike, I definitely have to make a path out that way some time. I am trying to use every sprig of free time to work on the rotissoried Spider while it is still nice, cause there will be six months of not being to work on her. If i"m going to run with you guys next year, I've got to put in the effort this year. Between this home and the summer home and the Spider...Uhhhhh!

Hi Mike

Wondering if you can help me i'm looking for the Wrinkle Finish Paint in red Color but haven't been able to find
that type of paint in any color what so ever :evil: maybe it's no longer produced any more or just no longer carried
by the normal places that sell Spray paints ??? Where did you buy yours at any help would be great :D ...

it also goes by the name of crackle paint. wrinkle paint. I actually considered red at one point. do not recall the brand name, but the can i grabbed did not have a familiar name on it.

i bought mine at Auto Value. Right in the rattle can section.

The reason I call it wrinkle paint is because of the wrinkles. I am not sure, but I always thought crackle paint was the one that you spray on and as it dries, it forms splits or cracks in the paint to give it the old weathered look.

Uh ohh! I hope I didnt just give you a new idea for covers!

Thanks for the reply

We used to have that type of paint here but i haven't purchased any in a few years and now that i want a can it's gone
without a trace ! and i have no ideal other then Cali's more strict Laws of Emissions ???
I think there must be some kind of ban on that paint over here i tryd all the major auto supply places, Home Depot and
Lowes . Can I ask a favor can you purchase a can of red for me next time your in the auto parts place and ship it my
way ? ill be more then glad to send you a check or money order for everything .
