the red wrinkle paint from arghhhh cant remember the brand.its wrinkle paint i got from autobarn,,to do my b16 tappet cover,looks absolutely the same as stock type r tappet cover red,works perfect and is only like $10.spray on paint stripper,hose off after 10mins,do again if you need,3 coats of red wrinkle paint 10 mins apart then file of the top of the emblems to get them back to silver.check out how genuine it looks:

it's called VHT wrinkle paint,
they've stop production of the red or rarely have any left ,
they only have the black left..
and red is very very hard to find.

just go with black.. very clean looking.
