You used to see the wrinkle coat in black on all manner of WWII military
electronics. Some examples here:

No, hammertone is something else. What I'm talking about is the finish
that you'd often see rack panels (I do have a blank in hammertone,
however)., usually black. Kennedy toolboxes (maybe still do) had
You all aren't referring to that hammered look?
And regarding a textured finish, I have a cheapo Raidmax atx case I got from
Newegg about 4 years ago. 12.09$ after the rebate. Shipped. It and other cases
I've bought in the last few years all seem to habe that slightly gritty
appearance. Sellam

A wrinkle finish isn't what I thought this was about. Plu

You can buy that in a spray can at the hardware store. I've used it before
for some of the replicas I've built. It works great.

On the same subject, but slightly off topic, whatever happened to the
"wrinkle finish" (I think that's what it was called) that you'd often
see on
Ok I'll stick with rustoleum then. I'll attempt to mimic the original texture
even if not so perfect.
Have you ever tried to fix textured drywall or lathe/plaster? It's always
down to playing with various settings and trial/error if you want to match
a specific finish. These coatings facilitate a texture but they won't do
it for you. If you apply at a high pressure they're not going to do
anyth
So this polane stuff creates the texture when used with any airgun? Everything
I have is small, not ideal for painting a car, but more then adequate for
covering a 5170 case. Artist equipment. And I have a somewhat larger gun that
has a gravity fed canister that can hold upwards of 4oz. of pain

Powder coating is just a durable finish.
Traditionally Polane was used. (Sherwin Williams)
Raptor is similar.I had a long discussion with their rep along the
lines of "ok, but how much is the paint and how much is the application".
It turns out it's a bit of both.
Obviously you're not going to get texture with a very high pressure
Chris,
I don't know specifically about the IBM PC, but I think what you're
describing is powder coating.
