If don't want to spend the money for a new heat shield, just use 600 grit sand paper and scrub off all that black/grey stuff that's on it. It would come out polished underneath. I did it on mine since I'm stock turbo, and I think it looks good.

Did you use any heat? it looks a bit "Glossy" for wrinkle finish......
after about 3-5 min's, once the paint has had a chance to firm up & it has a small film on the surface you should take a heat gun or your GF's hairdryer & that will cause the paint to shrink & pull itself in & that will create a more wrinkled look
