The big thing that got me in the past was radio gear wrinkle paint. For a while you could still get wrinkle paint but only in black (and some times it didn't wrinkle too good). I was able in most cases to paint the right colour over the black and it was OK until it got scratched. Sadly I haven't seen wrinkle paint for many years now.

the trick to applying crinkle paint is to preheat the object to be painted, in my case Hemi valve covers, about 110F in the oven for ten minutes and then spray from a well ajitated can that was sitting in a pot of hot water for a five minutes.
Try performance shops as Mopar used crinkle paint on a lot of things in the 60's 70's
