Has anyone discovered a rattle can brand of spray paint that matches the finish on these parts?
The paint is flaking off of mine. I could just repaint them flat or semi-flat black, but I will match the original if I can.

Rustoleum Model # 251576 Store SKU #1001235739 at Home Depot
VHT Part # SP201 Alternate Part Number: 3370 at Auto Zone
Take the old paint off first. Wrinkle paint over wrinkle paint doesn't work well

Most powder coating shops have black wrinkle finish too.

Try SEM texture coating. I believe it is closer to original than wrinkle paints.
Thanks for the replies.
Have any of your tried the VHT/Rustoleum options?
Most of the wrinkle paints I have used before (say on a valve cover) had a coarser finish than these Pantera parts have.
Checking to see if I can find anything about SEM online now...

Ive done wrinkle paint from a spray can on engine and dashboard parts, and the directions did NOTt say 'heat the poo out of the freshly coated part'.... I had to use 150F in an oven for about 15 minutes to get consistent wrinkles. If you use an oven, might be a good idea to remove any plastic or rubber from whatever you are wrinkle-painting. Don't remember the brand of spraypaint now.
So far the most promising looking paint is the black Rustoleum texture paint.
Eastwood has a black texture powder coat (and I have a powder coating gun) But I don't want to put my rear view mirror in an oven. I don't know what that would do to the mirror - and mine still has an original looking sticker on the mirror. That would definitely melt/burn.
Not sure what the oven would do to the chrome on the ashtray. It would probably be okay.

The Italian name of the color is GOFFRATO NERO, not sure of the brand but I believe was K Colors.
Ciao.

Be careful heating uncured or partially cured wrinkle paints. Some use methylene chloride to get the wrinkles and heating that stuff creates phosgene, a rather nasty gas.
