Paint Identification Problem

[David Dunlop]

Hi Lynn.

It is an interesting paint. I have used the 'traditional' black wrinkle to restore a couple of electronic items in the past, where the original finish was the typical uniform distribution of wrinkles.

This darned paint finish used on the RCA AR88 stuff has me stumped with it's unusual pattern. It is almost as if the black paint was sprayed on and before it set up, an overspray of oil or solvent was applied quickly, causing a pattern of small beads of paint to form with different drying rates. I am beginning to wonder if the result is not so much in the paint, but in the hands of the craftsman applying it.
