Wrinkle Paint.

Or Hammertone.

 

[tony hunt]

that is probably hammertone powder coat.
For DIY you will probably prefer to spray or brush it.
In the UK / EU the main brand is Hammerite.

Powder coat is not exactly DIY, but that finish has been around longer than powder coat.

Id read somewhere adding a silicone based product to metalic paint you could get a similar effect . Hammerite or Triflo metal care are two brands available off the shelf here .

Silicone has very small adhesive power, so the paint thickness varies in waves; it gives a somewhat similar effect, but it's not very durable.
people doing a paint job on a car that has had silicone polish know that. Orange skin.

Sounds a bit like a bad fake tan job too , an Orangutan you could call it .
couldnt resist ,sorry .

Years ago I bought a powdercoat kit from Eastwood. They are an automotive supply company. I never got to use it because I have no place to cure the finish. Curing has a very strong odor and I have no place I can stink up that bad and no outside space to do it.

Keep your expectations low and experiment away.
Getting a good finish is hard, but seems doable. You'll easily end up with a more fluid look (see pic), rather than the cratered one I assume you're after.
Temperature seems key. Google away. Here's a start:

Ive tried the hammered enamel finish a few times over the years . viscosity has a lot to do with the texture your left with in the end . how your prepare your surface also has a bearing . Like more or less any paint job , atmospheric conditions ,temp and relative humidity need to be in the right range for the paint to cure properly . As far as I remember Hammerite has its own brand thinners , I'd avoid ordinary 'white spirit' with it.

Plus one for the Hammertone finish. I have used the Rustoleum version and have gotten great results. As Tubetec mentioned, your prep and work area conditions are critical to a good finish. That and a little bit of patience should get your desired results

I would suggest making a small " spray booth" out of fabric or cardboard. it's amazing how often a stray insect finds its way onto a painted panel. A single incandescent or heat lamp can help you get the temperature right for hardening. experiment a bunch - spray technique is critical.
Rarely does a rattle can finish match that of a properly set up spray gun - with good technique. lol. but we already knew that.

 

[Tubetec]

Ive seen small flies attracted to fresh paintwork as well , if one does get stuck just leave him be until the paint has dried , if theres a mark left behind after you scrape it away you can always touch it up later with a small brush . The mini spray booth idea with climate control sounds like a good plan .
