You can buy paint that will give this effect. Search the internet.

Might also try painting with enamel. Then going over it with lacquer. Practice on a piece of metal. It takes a certain amount of drying between paint.

Eric ..I posted(last month I believe) That you can find the crackel pait kit in some of the large "do it yourself" stores like Lowes, Menards, Home Depot... It comes in a two part paint kit and is used to put a crackel finish on plastic or clay pots to make them look old..You will need to apply a final coat of paint of your choise to get color you want as a third final step... Don't do process on a hot day...it took me three trys to get it where i wanted it to be... ALSO metal or suface MUST BE clean of all dirt/rust
