VHT Wrinkle Paint

A question about cleaning. Since it is no longer a smooth surface, dust and grime will sit in those crevices. Would it be harder to clean?

I don't think so, the wrinkles aren't that deep and the wrinkles themselves have a smooth hard surface.

I think a deep pile rag or a soft brush would do the job nicely, time will tell but I have seen a lot of cars with a similar finish on the valve covers and they clean up nicely.

That looks nice! Wish I knew of this before I installed my intakes.

Clean up is easy once paint is cured. Soft bristle brush with soap and scrub
