Lawson's 818C

  • I painted the intake and valve covers in VHT Wrinkle Blue paint to replace the poor red paint job that was on them before.
    • Note: The wrinkle paint needs very good prep for a consistent texture. My intake didn’t come out perfect, but it’s not bad.
    • Long dry times but it comes out pretty nice.
  • Ordered tons of replacement hardware for intake, TGV, coolant pipes, and PCV system.

  • Much improved looks


  • The finished wrinkle texture


  • Post-1 Hr baking at 200F


  • Final results


  • Passenger side valve cover post-spraying


  • Intake post-spraying
