Don, the paint manufacturers that I have spoken to attest to this information.
Missed you at Dayton this year - sure hope to see you soon. The best wrinkle that I use is from England.

The wrinkled finish had blistered and peeled, but beneath the wrinkle coat there was an unwrinlked black coat still intact. I don't recall if that sub-layer was gloss or flat, but apparently it was used as a primer under the wrinkle coad. Maybe that's why the wrinlke coat blistered and peeled. I have noticed that the wrinkle finish on1930's era pre WW2 gear has a texture that is very different from post WW2 wrinkle finishes. I have looked in vain for any information on how that 1930's finish was attained or how to duplicate it. The old-style wrinkle has a grainy texture, while the more recent wrinkle finishes are very uniform, whether the wrinkles are coarse or fine.
