Ok I've painted a few now! I bought a can from autobahn about a month ago and painted 2 then I found a can in my shed from 3 years ago and I painted another!
Both cans identical but they have changed something!
The new ones are more bright red with tinge or orange whereas the old can it a much darker red and looks more orig! Same can same numbers but something has changed in the last couple years

As below! Old can on right, new can on left ! I like the older richer colour better!

I remember doing this to my Vl Calais turbo, but I polished up the aluminium instead. Came up amazing.. The red wrinkled look is cool too..

Here is a video i took of the wrinkle process on my second attempt at doing the rocker cover repaint.
