Wrinkle is easy if you heat it up. I put mine on my bbq after painting it and it wrinkled mad. Just use ALOT of coats. The thicker the paint the more it wrinkles

Update - I'm all moved into my new job and house. The house has a good double garage all lined so I can chuck the heater on and work on the wagon have taken the front bumper off and will replace the front upper bumper strip as its broken have also steam cleaned the interior which came up real good. So the next step or plan for the next couple of nights will be to relocate the battery to the rear and move the power steering bottle
