Vintage/retro surface

[maclerche]

Is there anyone who can tell what this surface is called, it was very used from 40s to 70s, remembers the black, red, green and gray as this lamp. Is there also anyone know if there is anyone who can still perform this surface? Everything concerning. this surface, strength and performance have interest ...

It's called wrinkle finish, not crackle finish.  You can by spray cans and do it yourself.

It comes in different colours, and you can buy a high temperature version for painting engine components.

I think that's powder coating, isn't it?

Looks like powder coating to me as well.  It sort of has a sandblasted look to it though.  Not sure now, lol.

VHT Wrinkle Plus seems to be what I'm looking for. In other forum I have found several who have worked with this kind of surface many years ago, but the methods they used back then are too toxic.
VHT Vrinkle Plus should be able to withstand 170 degrees Celsius and you get the best results by applying it and then bake it for 20 minutes at 93 degrees C.
Some experts recommend that warms the very pure topics in the 93 degrees and then inflict VHT Vrinkle Plus and after the oven at 93 degrees. It makes perfectly good sense. Nice for a old Elma Super Elite.

Are there any of you who know about the powder coating can withstand heat?

[Geo]

That is not powder coating on your old lamp.

The powder used for powder coating is cured at 200 degrees C. So it is not suitable for use in really hot situations.

powder  coating is relatively  new and I don't think it  comes in a spray can.

Seems spray painting with a slight orange peel effect.

Looks a really nice finish for a lamp. Does any manufacturer still produce lamps with this effect?
