As best I can tell, getting paint to form _a_ wrinkle
finish isn't all
that difficult to do (you just have to get the surface to dry before
the middle-layer). Creating a specific look of wrinkles to match a
specific era of equipment might take a bit of experimentation with
solvents and powders and such.
I've done it many times on small cast aluminum project boxes by
heating the chassis in an oven for a few minutes (not super hot, just
a bit too hot to handle with bare hands) and then spray-paiting it
with ordinary spray paint. It actually turns out rather nice.
