Mine goes all the way down to the screws and stops at the inside crease.I don't think the paint in that photo has any additional texture. Just paint on the steel shroud. That said, I used high temp "wrinkle paint" on mine and I like the finish.
My shroud doesn't slide on all the way though. It hits the two screws and stops a little short. How does yours fit?
If you paint over the rust, it will come through the finish eventually. If you paint and then leave outside, it will come through faster.I’ve been debating on this forever... my shroud from has great little rust flecks, and I don’t know how to paint it and not cover them.

That's what this thread is all about. Trying to figure out what finish the photo is. I was hoping someone that has a real one would chime in.I have hammered finish, unused as of yet. I'd like a good wrinkle paint. Do you have any recommendations? My shrouds have really nice rust on them, & I'd like to get them finished here soon.
From what I understand, Chaïm lent his to Roy so it could be matched up perfectly. I was hoping we can find the answers to the finish. I do know wrinkle paint smooths itself out over time with use, so I won't be surprised that is what has been used. Some parts look like paint, others look hammered and the inside looks to be wrinkle .

My shroud fits on both my V1 parks and Romans just fine. It also fits my king sol (that I'm using as a paint holder )Silicone masking fluid will allow you to paint on what you want masked.
Also, anyone that has a shroud that doesn't fit, you can use sandpaper on the inside of the shroud to remove a little bit of the steel. It might take a while but it will work.

I always wondered if they used the same foundry they used for the pewter/aluminum V2 to cast a replacement shroud for a broken MPP top..

And if you can’t find any, mustard works pretty good too
