hi i am re painting my inlet manifold and need to know what red it is and wear i can get the pant from to do this job as I just don't no thanks

 

i am also interested in this. I seem to be unable to get the wrinkle red VHT paint delivered to NI as its classed as a hazardous liquid and they have to put it on a lorry at the cost of a crate ! As i am not painting my intake , just the belt cover , i would be happy enough to go to Halfords and get a rattle can if i knew what paint code is a close match.

Am i correct in saying the VHT wrinkle has a more orange tint than original intake red ? Would a light dusting on the intake with normal paint (to try and bring the colour closer) resist the heat ?

 

No vht from eBay is spot on I used it on mine it's ideal and cheap too!! I've just changed to black crinkle for my reverse inlet and used the same eBay company

 

it is cheap , until they want to charge me £15 just to deliver ! Lucky you.

He says in his thread that the newer VHT has an orange tinge and not red. He shows pictures of a part painted with the new VHT against the inlet refurbed with the old VHT formula. There is a big difference and a definite orange colour....mind you being from Northern Ireland that might suit
.......only joking buddy, I am from Belfast myself
Cheers

 

So wear can I get some old tins from

 

I don't think you can mate. I tried myself a few weeks ago as I wanted to refurb my own. No joy anywhere on the internet anyway.

 

So now what as I need to do it and have it on my work top do you no if ther is a brand that dos the same job mate

 

No buddy - in the end I decided I am going to get it powder-coated as I can't be arsed with all the hassle myself

Sorry mate

 

Ok thanks mate

 

wondering if you can use the "orange" to get the effect , but give it a dusting with red normal paint to bring it closer ? Would just need a paint code that matches


lol at orange for NI , still better than Tricolour !
