Hi Tim,
You may want to give this a try for a real basket case panel:
Strip it to bare metal and clean it very well.
Use a good spray primer. I like the etching primers from East Wood Auto supply.
After the primer dries and you lightly sand it with 200 grit paper, spray it with a flat white paint or whatever color you want the letters to be.
After that, apply the wax dry transfers and make sure they are fast against the panel. This will keep the wrinkle paint from going where the transfer letters are.
Spray the panel with your favorite wrinkle paint.
Once the paint dries, remove the transfer wax letters.
The wrinkle paint should not adhere to the wax letters so the wax should come off relatively easy. If the panel is truly dry you may be able to use some soap and water to assist getting the wax letters off.
When the wax is removed, you should have your white letters exposed.
Have fun....
