Anth from Build Threads has done a great "How to" for wrinkle paint here:

Hi guys,

I just painted up my rocker cover (just plain black for now, going to add some thing after) but I'm not 100% happy with the final results from the wrinkle paint. Can i just go over the top again with the same stuff? or should I try strip it back? Also what would be the easiest way to mask off around the raised lettering on the cover? or is it easier to color that, then paint the rest around it?

Also what would be the easiest way to mask off around the raised lettering on the cover?

If it is raised, just paint the lot, and then using a flat sander (block of wood with sanding paper), just gently sand back the top raised letters.

I wanted to paint the lettering red though, so I thought if I painted them first, then mask, or paint them second and mask around the area?
