Very nice! Its hard to tell... Did you use "krinkle paint" for the black?
Nope, it's Windex. If you'd like I'll share my technique.
yes shaaaaaaare.....
Like everything new…it’s trial and error before you achieve the desire results.
The following is a technique I recently discovered while experimenting in my garage and liked the outcome. It’s rather simple, you’ll need three rattle cans: a primer, two colors similar in hue, a tube of acrylic (dark brown) paint and a spray bottle of Windex. The Windex separates the paint, given it a patina much like “old” paint on metal. If you ever look at “aged” paint, you’ll notice the top paint layer has dried out separating and exposing a base (primer) coat underneath. This is especially evident with “crackling” paint. Caveat: I encourage you to practice on sample pieces first. Good Luck!
A. I personally like Krylon spray paint (incredible palette of colors). But this technique should work for any brand name.
B. First prime the object and allow it to dry.
C. My goal was to expose the primer without painting an opaque top layer.
I next gathered my first paint color and a spray bottle of Windex.
D. After the primer has dried, I sprayed the object liberally with Windex, then lightly sprayed my first coat of paint on while the object was soaked with the Windex. The paint will bead up and separate as the Windex dries. Also what’s cool is that you can manipulate the paint’s direction with the window washer.
E. While the first coat is still wet, I sprayed the second color of paint…continuing spraying the Windex. You should have some nice separation and primer peeking through.
F. Illustrates the light colored fender prior to the water base acrylic application.
G. The tank after the acrylic effect.
I.–J. To create the effect, apply the Windex liberally, and —while wet apply the dark brown acrylic.
K. Continuing washing the acrylic with the Windex for desire effect and allow it to dry.
This same application was used for stenciling on the black paint.
