Well it's for a box that holds electronics :)
Dulux had a 1 coat solution in a spray can until about 3 years ago,
but no longer it seems.
I'm after black. Google doesn't seem to be my friend in this case, but
maybe it was my search criteria.

VHT stuff used to be good - I assume it's still ok.
 
hi, you can buy crinkle finish paint from a automotive store, some car
engines rocker covers are usually painted in that stuff.

hammertex or hammertone is different type of paint, it look liked it had
the effect of a hammer thats made contact swith the paint after you`ve
pounded it, crickle or wrinkle is what it says,.

Hello Elmo,
thanks for your reply, but no, it is the crinkle finish I'm after, and
Robbo's reply had the product I'm looking for.
regards

I'm with BOb :)

Back in the 50's when these paint finishes became popular on metalwork such as
amplifier chassis, it was always known as Hammertone finish. Since then there
have been many other names adopted either as proprietary names or simply to
differentiate one manufacturer's product from another, but the original name as
far as Australia is concerned was Hammertone.

Thanks Ross! I just remember seeing it mentioned lots of times in
RTV&H magazine ... shows my age, doesn't it? :)

When I went looking in Google, I found a few kinds of paint
starting with 'hammer'. Maybe the name varies with which country it's
used in?

I still use the VHT regularly, (gloss engine enamel) and it still
gives excellent results. Can be found at repco, autobarn, and some
supercheap.

Normally this is supposed to "self bake" by the car engine heating
during normal operation, but i find that for small parts, baking in an
oven works well, if needed.
