I've never done any wrinkle powder that resembles factory. Although it's much more durable. the "wrinkle" in it is not as "large-bold" as any paint. I agree. I found that different paint/heat processes can replicate factory finishes. I've tried spraying a cold part and placing in in the sun (calm wind day), sprayed parts laying in the sun to heat and putting back into the sun, spraying cold parts (and pre-heated) and heating with heat lamps, and then also tried oven heating. Each process developed a different texture and I think each person should experiment with small pieces of sheet metal with different processes and paint film thickness to achieve the texture they are looking for.
