When it comes to maintaining the prestige of your Maserati, Ferrari, or Lamborghini, every detail matters—especially in the engine bay. At Emblem, we specialize in authentic VHT wrinkle finish paint refurbishment, ensuring your luxury car retains its factory-perfect appearance.

What Is Wrinkle Finish Paint?

VHT wrinkle finish paint is a high-temperature, corrosion-resistant coating used by Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini to enhance the engine bay’s aesthetics. This specialist paint is designed to withstand extreme heat (up to 600°F/315°C), chemicals, and wear, making it the preferred choice for these high-performance vehicles.

Unlike inferior alternatives or powder coating (used by many other companies), our original Italian-imported paint replicates the exact factory finish, ensuring authenticity and durability. The unique textured "wrinkle" effect not only looks premium but also helps mask minor imperfections over time.

Why Refurbish Your Engine Bay Components?

While the original factory wrinkle finish is incredibly durable, over time it can:

  • Dry out and become brittle

  • Crack or loosen due to heat cycles

  • Fade from exposure to oil, coolant, and UV rays

  • Peel if previously refinished with incorrect paint

Many cars have been treated with substandard paint due to the rarity of the original product. Some workshops even use generic wrinkle paint or powder coating, which lacks the correct texture, color, and heat resistance.

At Emblem, we restore your cam covers, inlet manifolds, and other engine bay components to their "as new" condition, using only genuine Italian-sourced paint for a flawless, long-lasting result.

The Restoration Process

Stripping & Preparation – Old paint is carefully removed, and surfaces are cleaned to ensure proper adhesion.

Authentic Wrinkle Paint Application – Our specialists use the original Italian VHT paint, applied in controlled conditions for perfect texture.

Curing – The paint is heat-cured to achieve maximum hardness and resistance.

Quality Inspection – Each piece is checked for color accuracy and finish quality.
