Default Re: Crackle paint

My understanding is in wrinkle finish, the surface is continuous, but forms into miniature humps and, yes, wrinkles.
With crackle paint the surface separates into 'floating' islands with gaps in between, clearly shown in the second of the OP's photographs.
I'm confident the name 'wrinkle' on your can will be correct if it is intended for a dashboard.
I believe temperature is critical to getting a good even wrinkle finish.
