Crackle paint for guitars?

[vector]

I'm sure it's been asked before but can't find the post- does anyone do crackle paint any more?

Won't help you much but from what I found, crackle finishes are like a crapshoot
you won't know how it's gonna end up, so unless you either aren't picky, willing to shell out cash for a few retries,
or bloody lucky the endresult is to your taste the first time, I'm sure some luthier/painter will be willing to do it

I have some Jim. Metalflake was the biggest manufacturer of it. Like mentioned above...It is a crap shoot. Temperature, undercoat and all that fun stuff create variables. Here is the last contact I had for Vreeble. It only comes in black and clear these days from what I understand.

Metalflake 1-800-227-2683 in New Hampshire . Just researched it, they do not make it anymore. You will find it out there. I only have the clear left.

That stuff is all the rage in nail polish right now, so somebody is making it still.

You just have to buy a bunch of really small bottles!

Man, that's gonna be expensive to have the nail techs at the salon paint a guitar!!

I got the same effect when i sprayed a flat coat color over a gloss color. A chemical reaction will also make it crackle. I used rattle cans from wally world.

The area in question is the white part by the jack. Its bit a great pick and i kept spraying so it doesnt look as good as it once did.
