I found this old flipped car and its licence plate was 1978 I think. I even crawled under it to get shots inside. These are outter shots. Amazing crazing of the paint.

Yeah I have wanted it too. I used Aleen's crackle glaze,but usualy its not as crisp as the real aged thing.

I think the metal is idea ...because it flexes to break the paint up. That must be the best way to get that effect .

Im trying to get mine on polymer clay. The Aleen's makes small tight clusters of crackles ,but not a real distinct sharp crazed paint look:{ If its a flat surface you could paint on something less stiff like a sheet of plastic. I know they have mediums for crackle effect on furniture. And I read something about the underpaint curing slower than the upper layer of paint.

Yes but I have never figured out how to use that information.

I have done a lot of bars and theaters where that would have helped

I know what you mean.Agrivating...it seems so simple ,but is so difficult to make look realistic.
