What is the name of that process/paint that CRACKLES and makes PAINT look old?

That's an easy one....it's called a crackle finish!What is the name of that process/paint that CRACKLES and makes PAINT look old?
Check this out...you can even download the brochure to read up on it!What is the name of that process/paint that CRACKLES and makes PAINT look old?
The others are correct - it's either called crackle or craze and Decoart do a good crackle medium.
You can get crackle finish in craft stores.
Crazed-finish or Crackle-finish... That Sherwin-Williams link is great.





You can also do it by using a coat of Elmer's white glue or Liquitex Matte Medium over the bottom-coat, allow an hour or two to dry, paint the over-coat, and then use a heat-gun or hair dryer to ';over-accelerate'; the drying process. That will crackle the finish.





ALWAYS PRACTICE on a bit of similar material before you do it on your final product.





GOOD LUCK
