Back in the days before EPA, wrinkle finish paints used to be available in colors other than black. I used to have a formula for a homebrew version of wrinkle paint that used readily available materials but I have lost track of it over the years. Does anyone else out there have a workable formula?

Try adding Tung Oil to you paint. Tung oil encourages wrinkling because the mid-layer of paint does not dry as fast as the top. Wrinkling is caused by uneven drying between the substrate, mid, and outer layer of the paint film.
