VHT SP201 High Temperature Wrinkle Plus Paint – Black Spray

VHT SP201 Wrinkle Plus is a high-temperature black spray paint that delivers a durable, textured wrinkle finish rated to 350°F (177°C) for metal surfaces and engine components.

VHT Wrinkle Plus combines bold color with a heat-resistant textured finish designed for automotive and metal applications. The aerosol formula produces a classic wrinkled surface that hides minor imperfections while offering protection against rust, chipping, grease, and many degreasers. It dries quickly and develops its full toughness after proper curing—either by baking or through normal engine heat—making it a practical choice for both performance and cosmetic upgrades.

How does VHT Wrinkle Plus stand up to heat and engine use?

Formulated for high-temperature environments, this VHT coating resists discoloration and breakdown at temperatures up to 350°F (177°C). It is suitable for components exposed to continuous or intermittent heat, and its properties improve after the recommended cure.

• Heat resistance rating: up to 350°F (177°C)
• Cures fully after a 20-minute bake at 200°F (93°C) or via engine heat
• Maintains texture and color under repeated thermal cycles

What surfaces and parts can I use this spray paint on?

VHT Wrinkle Plus is intended primarily for metal substrates where a textured, durable finish is desired. It works well on both exposed engine parts and interior metal trim, offering both protection and a custom look.

• Common uses: valve covers, alternators, starters, and firewalls
• Interior metal: glove boxes, dashboards, door panels, shifters
• Also suitable for other metal projects that need heat-tolerant protection

How do I apply and cure the Wrinkle Plus for best results?

Surface preparation and correct curing are essential to achieve the wrinkle texture and long-lasting adhesion. Clean and degrease surfaces, scuff or sand smooth areas, and spray in even coats while keeping the can at the recommended distance.

• Preparation: remove oil, dirt, and loose rust; scuff with fine abrasive
• Application: shake well, spray light overlapping passes, allow tack between coats
• Curing: bake at 200°F (93°C) for 20 minutes or allow engine heat to complete cure

Will the textured finish resist chemicals and weather?

The Wrinkle Plus finish is engineered to resist fading, grease, and many common degreasers, while offering strong protection against corrosion and mechanical wear. Properly cured coatings maintain their appearance and resistance under harsh conditions.

• Resistant to color fading from heat and weather
• Provides protection against rust, chipping, and cracking
• Holds up to grease and many degreasing agents when cured

Who is this for: VHT SP201 Wrinkle Plus is aimed at automotive enthusiasts, restorers, and fabricators looking to add a durable, heat-tolerant textured finish to metal parts. It's also a solid option for DIY mechanics and custom shops who want an attractive, protective coating for engine bay components and metal trim without investing in specialty finishing equipment.
