eastwood, walmart, a lot of places carry the crinkle black now.
I'm going to powdercoat my next one - should hold up since they don't run
very hot (when at all) you can get crinkle/wrinkle black powdercoat.
It's a bit more pricy and you might have to explain putting a maytag in the
oven...........

Dave;

   I got my wrinkle paint from Farm & Fleet , don't know if  they have
stores in Pa. but I think most auto parts carry it for restoring valve
covers on some older automobiles .
    Anyway I used Plasticoat , if you have an oven in which to heat up the
project so the paint wrinkles your in luck if not a heat gun works well ,  I
hung my parts on wire about chest level  and used the heat gun to preheat
the castings then put a heavy coat of the paint on and dried the paint with
the heat gun  it worked  great but a little more labor intensive , you will
see the paint wrinkle right before your eyes ,a light coat of paint wont
wrinkle so Practice with a sample piece first then move to the project , If
your doing a Maytag try to keep the paint off the Axe handle , also if the
handle of the heat gun gets too warm for your hands a cold Ole Mil with in
reach should solve the problem.
