Default Wrinkle black paint?

How is that paint done? Is this something a paint or body shop should be able to do?

Do it yourself... get a can of Krylon Wrinkle Black.
Do it in full sun... 80 degrees +, and heavy spray equivalent to 3 layers at one time.

I was thinking about doing my lower for sliders, triple tree, front and rear turn signals and head light think it would work ok for that?

I tried two cans of Harley Wrinkle Black and never could get it
to wrinkle as good as the Krylon.

Check with your local powdercoater. The powdercoater I go to is able to do the wrinkle black. Looks just like the coating on the Night Train. Costs more than the paint but will last forever
