Yeah Im liking the hot air gun method nick. Mine did wrinkle but not as much as the original paint that was on it, still pleased though with the outcome.

I read on the can that its a slowly drying paint, so I painted it and left it in the shed for 2 days to dry then thought the heat from the engine after a few drives would fully cure it.


Another tip to anybody taking a badly flaking inlet off, be careful not to drop or get the old flakes of paint into the 4 inlet ports of the engine or other wise you will have to do what I did and modify the Hoover hose with a piece of small washer hose and Hoover them out like a dental nurse!! PITA. Lol
