😉 hey guys, so I did some textured satin black parts for a friend. And know for tomorrow I’ve got a full day of spare time work painting textured parts for a motorbike, and the engine to texture plus a set of rear caliper tops for a car. It’s mad 😉 I don’t understand why there’s a high demand for i ashen its been round for years 🙂
Rikka, I have customers wanting the flat black look. I think it looks like unfinished..I have used SEM brand Hot Rod Black. You would think it covers like a primer, but believe me when I tell you it has to be prepped as if your using base clear. Execpt for the sealer… lol When you say textured … do you mean krinkle, or bumpy, what do you use?

Hey yeh you could call it Krinkle it’s more hard wear real good for engine blocks or motor bike frames etc, it an additive which I mix with the clear coat or a solid colour. Ie for if you have a damaged door moulding or a bumper with a lower vallace the you can repair and paint it look original. I will put pictures up so people can see. I’m not kean on the flat look as when it comes to de nib and polish I have to keep ordereing special polish to put the flat look back on
For a flat finish all you need is black single stage mixed with a 100% flattening agent.THis will give you the slight krinkle finish and flat appearance and beats doing base with a flat clear.I use Utech 200 or sikkens Rally black,spies has a rally black also.Much more durable and a time saver,I use it on gm/ford muscle car restorations.
Hey jayson, yeh I understand what you mean and get that. But for the Krinkle it’s almost like putting fine sand in the paint its weird but looks awesome
That’s a fine Krinkle on an anti roll bar I did last month
Textured and wrinkle paint are not the same. Wrinkle is obtained through a chemical reaction, texture is not. Texture additve, like PPG DX1999 is added to achieve the desired result. It’s commonly used on dash [i]tops [/i]for GM restorations to duplicate the factory finish. Although many don’t know it’s correct. SEM offers it too in aerosol and gun sprayable but it’s 1K.
The one I’m using is used to get the paint a texture finish and is sprayed through a gun, not 1k lol :),
Ill rephrase its textured finish on the anti roll bar ha ha 🙂
