So, I have a small important project that requires grey wrinkle paint, in a spray can. Doesn't appear anybody makes it anymore.
I found a source online that has NOS VHT engine grey wrinkle paint, but is asking $926 +tax for a single can, he will graciously include shipping.
How about this solution, I get a spray can of easy to find black wrinkle paint for $14+, apply it, let it dry, and then overcoat it with thin coat of spray can grey satin?
Anybody tried it? Does the texture still remain to any degree?
 
I have two of these I'm not using

Your plan should work, get a thick coat of wrinkle on it and it will have good texture. Then after it dries for a few days put gray on top.
 
Ok, so I would think you could get away with painting the crinkle. I wouldn’t rule out a sample or two first though. I used the VHT black on my blower housing as was pleased with it. I would assume once it offgasses in the oven it should stick. maybe some adhesion promoter before the grey.
