LEOLURES Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I mainly use lacquer automotive paint for my lures and have had a lot of requests for different color patterns with crackle. Can anyone out there help me out on where I can buy crackle paint? A friend of mine use to use one but he said they quit making it a while ago. I am mainly looking for something that will cause a heavy crackle pattern. Thanks for any help on where I can buy this and also how to use it.

atrophius Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think it is a coating that you apply to or under another paint.I am not entirly sure. I know you can get the stuff at craft stores mostly. Michaels, hobby lobby, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yes, the crackle I've seen is done over a "crackle medium". You apply the medium, dry it (or not) and then spray paint over it and it crackles as it dries. I've only done it with acrylic latex, so can't help on crackle medium for lacquers.

LEOLURES Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks guys. I thought a while back Mohawk sold something for doing crackle but not sure if they still have it either. I'll check and see what they have at Michaels. I didn't even think of that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlaze Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 BassinJody, think I will give this a try. Do you let the gloss coat dry before sprayiny the flat coat? Thanks for the info. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassinjody Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 hay jblaze dont let the top coat dry spray both wet, the heaver the flat the more bigger crackle u get just watch out for runs when the flat dries u will start seeing the crackle . hope that helps jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
