Why couldn't I have figured this out in the beginning? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
After the fail by the powder coaters and my multiple fails with the VHT rattle can product (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif), I spent some time searching for what other options exist to replicate a wrinkle finish. And looky what I found. And Son Of A Biscuit, it couldn't have been a more obvious URL: wrinklepaint.com How embarrassing. But the awesome news is highlighted in yellow. I've communicated with the company and they do ship to CA (but only the liquid, no spray cans). It ain't cheap but the good stuff usually isn't. Now to find a painter to apply it.

All the cool colors, too! Plus they offer some other interesting products I may try, such as chrome and metallic satin steel paint. That might open up some interesting options for things like fiberglass bumpers or ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

After a few weeks focusing on the wide-body project, I'm back on the 914 Ferrari.
Getting closer... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWjEWkaYQYc |

cool project, got me thinking about the extra 355 engine I have stored under the stairs at my shop. Not sure if I will live long enough to see completion of said project

Really nice wiring - I doubt it was that beautiful and resistant to vibration, etc., when Ferrari built the cars. Just amazing skills being demonstrated by Chris. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
