Author Message   Phatkidwit1eye Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2005 - 09:43 pm:        I'm going to paint a few things with the Crinkle Black paint. Do I need to use primer or do I spray it straight to the prepared metal? TIA...Phat   Sportyeric Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2005 - 10:24 pm:        I did the speedo housing about six years ago. Holding up great. Used primer. I think any paint needs it for grip.   Kdkerr2 Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2005 - 12:52 am:        Crinkle black sucks as a motorcycle finish. It looks great when it is new but the first time you get in a rainstorm road grunge gets into the crack and sets up. After a while it looks real grungy and there's no practical way to clean the dirt out of the cracks. The effect is cumulative and gets worse over time. Gloss black or flat black is better.

Its been a while since I used it but be sure to rough up smooth parts (I used a scotch brite pad plane without soap) and clean with a degreaser like acetone. I used 3 light coats in between drying time (took about 3 days). Hope this helps. Good luck
