Hi

When I were a lad... my dad sprayed our Practical Electronics Oscilloscope in crackle paint. It wasn't anything like the pics. Imagine an enourmous flat tray of cornflakes viewed from a long way off. There were no discernable patterns, the paint surface looked almost sharp. Like a tray of sharp sand perhaps.

I quite liked the 'hammer' paint too - not mentioned so far - this looked like a really hard enamelled surface that had randomly been hit with a hammer making what could have looked like pools in wet paint.

I have an old RAF R1082 radio which looks like the crackle paint as I remember!
