They sell the spray paint in kits that do that and the instructions are on the cans.How to make spray paint crackle?
prime the metal a couple of times with a can of grey primer, let dry good. now paint the piece with the gold in an oil base product and let it dry completely. Finish with the green in a water bourne paint. dilute the latex just a little. water will not stick to oil and thats why it seperates. try a little section to see for yourself. been doing it for years with excellent results. works on anything,wood ,metal,concrete,
This happens because the top coat dries faster than the paint underneath. Your best bet is to find the kits or paint designed to do this, like the stuff that the first person mentioned. Otherwise, you can try to experiment by using a fan to blow across the paint to dry the top layer fast.
try on a test board first.
gold -let it dry
make a mixture of carpenters white glue and thin a bit with water so you can brush it. Brush it over the gold - let dry
green paint MUST be latex and paint on a single stroke with the brush. Wait till it dries. It should have crackled.
After this crackling dries I would give it a coat of clear to protect everything(especially from fingernails)
done like borscht
I remember having crackle nail polish. I believe they have the specific spray paint that just does it. I would say Home Depot or Menard's would have it in the paint section.
