It had a prior primer job and I am planning on getting it dipped an repainting it. I am curious as to the right materials to do the correct "crinkle" style finish on it. What have you guys used?

Then heavy coats of the wrinkle-finish black, which requires heat to properly wrinkle. For a consistent wrinkle pattern, you need to play with the heat. Heat gun works, an oven that you don't ever want to heat food in again is even better. Practice on a similar metal that you don't care about first if you haven't done this before.

Who supplies the crinkle paint? Is that easy to get a hold of? I am curious how the factory did this too... '73 GK6 Challenger Rallye - 340 4-Speed
