Chances are they use the same suppliers for the powder as both companies are having problems getting the process
right. Its to hit and miss for them to be bothered if they are busy. Mine look ok as I said before but I think the effort
to get there wore him out. They had a lot on at the time. Ive no idea what the colour code is. Dave at Redditch may
help you there. I don't like the idea of a smooth,shiny finish on the plenum or intake pipes. Best avoided.
I know RSB have trouble with the silver wrinkle and I am aware of how they tried to get the right finish for Paul.
Just another option to consider is to do the plenum in a colour where the texture is correct in powder then wet paint with engine silver.
I did that with my Mondial t a few years ago. The wrinkle looked good in black then coated it straight after the powder with a coat of engine silver. I know from owners 5 years later that it still looked good. Wet painting fresh powder seems to work OK.
