Last fall I laid down my 2008 Street Bob. The outer primary is ground up/scratched area is below the derby cover. It is a fairly big area but since it is on the bottom, you really have to lay on the ground to see it. I want to touch up/repaint it w/o removing the outer primary. Looking for advice on how to do this!

 

U could just use some matte black heat resistant paint from your local hardware store that u can gently brush on. Itll cover up and blend with the rest of the case. Doubt anyone will notice. $15 job for paint and a brush .

 

VHT wrinkle black spray paint

 

That sounds like a really good suggestion. Otherwise, use a sponge to add texture to the paint of your choice.

 

VHT wrinkle paint needs to be baked to see any appreciable wrinkle.

 

I did the intake for my truck in it and it wrinkled very nicely without baking. It does need to get hot to fully cure though.

 

As per VHT's website: Curing Wrinkle Plus™ VHT Wrinkle Plus only attains its unique properties after correct curing.

• Bake at 200°F (93°C) for 20 minutes.
• The inherent heat of engine operation will also accomplish curing.

 

I know what the label says, I also know that it works without baking. It is very soft until it gets baked, but the wrinkle still works just fine.

 

Not label...website. Sorry to confuse people. You are right....no reason to follow directions

 

Well, OP doesn't want to remove the cover, so I guess you could bake the whole bike...

Or, use the sponge!
