Wrinkle or crinkle paints are made from organic resins, mineral fillers and pigments which, through the combined action of a heat source and the reaction between resin and appropriate catalysts, give the typical "wrinkled" effect.

Wrinkled because to the touch and sight the paint film looks like a crumpled, slightly translucent fabric. They are paints typically used in the automotive and furniture sectors and can be applied to many different materials such as metal, plastic, wood, glass.
The use of these paints dates back to the 1920s and 1930s to cover car dashboards. Rediscovered in the mid-1950s for painting cameras, and more recently in the early 1980s in the luxury car industry for painting engine parts.
Wrinkle paint was widely used during and after World War II on nearly all electronic equipment on board US aircraft (radios and accessories, automatic pilots, etc.). The color was always black, which gave rise to the term "black box" for flight recorders although they have long been orange.
