Message	Not sure how the wrinkle finish would look with a clear coat, my plenum is wrinkle black & personally I really like it as is (though could use a good clean!) What about wrinkle finish powder coat, is that more of a gloss finish? With the cable cover I cut off all the raised nissan lettering then smoothed it all out. Here's a photo of it before priming, etc. I actually ended up doing another a week later & leaving the nissan text but notched it & smoothed the rest. Painted it gloss black with red lettering & lots of clear. Looks really nice but no photos with me. Will just try them both once I fit the timing covers & see what I prefer
