I wrinkle painted VRSF top mount intercooler
Pretty shitty paint job by VRSF. Would be embarrassed to install this in the engine bay. How does this get sold to a customer???
Update:Great customer support from VRSF. After seeing this thread, they wanted to make things right. Decided to try out wrinkle paint for the first time and think it came out great. Sanded down the old paint to bare metal. I did a coat of por15, 2 coats of primer and then 4 coats of wrinkle paint. Used a heat gun to activate the wrinkles.

It was a blessing in disguise, the wrinkle paint looks amazing
When are you doing the install? Let me know how it goes I'm about to install a csf and worried about the coolant bleeding process |

Thanks for reminder. Yes, the sparkplugs will also be done, i just forget to list them. All the parts are sitting in a pile on the floor haha. Too many projects for the car to keep up with.
I just finished installing TC kline coilovers and new rotors and akebono pads. Need to do brake fluid, flash bootmod3 and finish removing old 10% tint on the rear windows. The cold temps isnt good motivation. Then im gonna start looking into E-Sys coding. |

I'm incredibly sorry for the inconvenience, we make it a point to catch any of these finish issues before they leave our location and I can assure you this is not the quality you can expect from VRSF. Please shoot over your order number to sales@vr-speed.com and we'll get you reimbursed for the defective coating.
Unfortunately a few of these slipped through the cracks from our first batch and the issue has since been rectified. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns. |
