Brian, I have had good luck with Krylon Black Wrinkle 3370. I buy mine from
Advanced Auto. Unfortunately, WalMart does not sell it.
For a finer wrinkle finish try Rustoleum Stone Creations paint. Overspray
with the correct color match. I believe that Lowes carries this line.

David, I don't know about the primer issue with wrinkle paint. I've heard
people have done it both ways. Main reason I primed it was the fact I took
it down to the bare metal when I prepared the surface and primed it just to
keep it from rusting before I got the wrinkle paint in the mail. Took 2
weeks to get it. No one around here carries it in stock. I ended up
ordering it from AutoBarn. Thanks for the info.
