Why Was Wrinkle Paint Popular?

Seems to me that in the 1940s thru 1960s, iron was painted with a black wrinkle paint. This stuff was tough and very plentiful. It may not have covered machine tools, but it was used on laboratory equipment and instruments galore. What is this stuff? Why is it used? Is it superior or just convenient? Why is it out of style today?

I've always thought that it was intended to be a non reflective surface that wouldn't show finger prints and so on. I remember we used to repaint light aircraft instrument panels with black "wrinkle paint" I thought it was due to high solids in the paints, mostly with the intent of allowing a tougher baked finish, but also (like for various plaster-wall treatments) to hide a few unintentional flaws or wrinkles by having a more-uniform field of surface marks. However, https://www.finishing.com/04/09.shtml implies wrinkles are due to different layers in the paint drying at different rates, and in the 'old days' tung oil was important to the effect, but more recently the technique of adding layers fairly quickly is used. (Ie wrinkles not necessarily due to high solids or baking.) -- jiw |
