You should have taped off the oil fill cap hole , crankcase gasses and oil are going to cause that paint to dissolve into your engine oil. I would clean all that paint out of this area.Here's a better shot of the wrinkling as it dried overnight. Instructions said to bake at 200 degrees to cure faster. My wife would kill me if I used the oven. Plus I think it wouldn't fit if I tried anyway since the cover is to damn long. I will be taking a sanding wheel to the lettering to leave them raw aluminum. If I'm adventurous enough, I might try to hand paint the lettering in the same burnt bronze coloring. Shooting some in a small cup and using one of the kids small paint brushes.
I'm going to hit the heat gun and keep it moving around for 10-15 mins later tonight. It should create tighter wrinkle pattern.

I'm spending a ton of money at parts. Mostly trying to order amayama and partsouq if possible to try to save some money. I've spent well over $800 just at the local toyota dealership. Not to mention all the money I spent during black friday at Joey's website for maintenance items. Me and my buddy are doing the majority of the rebuild ourselves which is saving me a ton of money on labor. Parts are still not cheap tho =(
