Re: Crackle paint
Hi,
We use Crackle or wrinkle to repaint the heaters in classic Mini's. I think it comes from Frost and from memory says 'wrinkle' on the aerosol.
It's extremely difficult to get it to wrinkle nicely but it is possible. The application technique is critical and you will need to do lots of experimentation to get it to work correctly.
The heaviness of the coats, the time between coats and the temperature are all critical. Sometimes we need to heat it gently with a hot air gun if it won't wrinkle! The wrinkle seems to be generated by a reaction between the first and second coats.
Your first picture shows exactly one of the many problems we have had. So you probably already have the correct paint but need to experiment with the application and temperature.
Hope that might help,
Good luck
Nick
