Most auto stores carry wrinkle paint.
It's all the same, some places relabel it and charge more.
Follow the directions, 3 heavy coats on bare metal.
No primer.
If you can warm the dash evenly, that's great.
If not, after the third coat, set it out in direct sunlight on a warm 
day so it wrinkles evenly.
Heat lamps, hair dryers, and torches just don't heat it evenly enough, 
ask me how I know. ;)
If you get a run or sag, use a small paint brush or Q-tip to dab up the 
run before you set it in the sun.
