VHT Wrinkle Plus Coating spray for metal — Flat Red 11 oz, heat-resistant textured finish

VHT Wrinkle Plus Coating in flat red is a heat-resistant, textured spray finish that creates a deep, wrinkle-like appearance and durable protection for metal surfaces.

Designed for automotive and metalwork projects, this 11 oz aerosol delivers a rich, non-reflective red texture that hides imperfections while resisting heat up to 350°F (177°C). The formula bonds to metal substrates and withstands grease, degreasers, weathering, rust and chipping, making it a practical choice for components exposed to mechanical and environmental wear.

How will this coating hold up near hot engine parts?

VHT Wrinkle Plus is formulated to tolerate continuous temperatures up to 350°F (177°C), making it suitable for many under-hood and near-exhaust applications. It maintains its textured finish without softening or running when used within the specified temperature range.

• Temperature resistance: up to 350°F (177°C).
• Stable texture under heat — won’t sag at recommended temperatures.
• Good for valve covers, alternators, and similar engine components.

What metal parts can I spray with this flat red finish?

This wrinkle coating is intended for a wide range of metal parts on vehicles and equipment, providing both styling and protective benefits. It adheres well to cleaned, prepared metal and is commonly used where a low-gloss, textured look is desired.

• Typical applications: valve covers, metal dashboards, glove boxes, starters.
• Also suitable for door panels, shifters, alternators, and firewalls.
• Works over properly prepped bare metal or previously painted surfaces.

How durable is the finish against chemicals and weather?

The product resists fading, grease, degreasers and severe weather conditions, offering long-term aesthetic and protective performance outdoors and in service environments. It forms a tough film that resists rust, corrosion, chipping and cracking under normal use.

• Colorfast formula resists fading from sunlight and heat exposure.
• Repels grease and holds up to common degreasers when cured.
• Provides resistance to rust, corrosion, chipping and cracking.

What surface preparation and application tips give the best result?

Proper surface prep ensures adhesion and a uniform wrinkle texture: remove rust, oil and loose old paint, then scuff and clean the metal before spraying. Apply light, even coats and allow recommended flash times to build the textured effect without runs.

• Clean: remove grease, wax, and loose rust or paint.
• Scuff with abrasive pad or sandpaper for better adhesion.
• Apply multiple thin coats, holding the can at the recommended distance.
• Follow product cure times for maximum durability.

Who is this for: VHT Wrinkle Plus Flat Red is aimed at car restorers, customizers and metalworkers who want a durable, low-gloss textured finish that hides surface flaws and tolerates elevated temperatures.
