John...I use a USA pressure pack wrinkle  finish marketed under name of VHT and  available 
from auto accessory stores - at least here in OZ.
You don't need primer. But you do need a  oven (kitchen ). I spray evenly but not 
thickly--- heavy coats make  for  heavy  wrinkle.
Bake  for  an  hour or  so at around 200  F.
With raised lettering  such as in BC-348, only  neat way is to paint the panel,bake it and 
within a  day or  so be prepared to conserve your patience  and  GENTLY, take to the 
lettering  with a sharpish blade/Exacto tool,  and CAREFULLY   scrape the paint off the 
letters.
They look like  just come  off the  production line-- I've done  about 15 over last few 
years

VHT is manufactured for PJH BRANDS, Scottsdale AZ 85258... Label on can says  Wrinkle Plus 
coating  SP -201-A

Cheers
Pete

Group -

1.  What paint brand suggested to get the same nice wrinkle tex finish?
     Paint Primer suggested for aluminum?  Primer color - flat black, clear?
     Any application methods?

2.  Method to keep paint off, sticking to, the raised letters?

Thanks
Hutch
