You can find them on ebay - not too expensive.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve P Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Frost`s do the crackle black paint,i refurbed my SAH cover with it.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 One tip with the black crackle paint, be meticulous in cleaning the surface it's to go on. The effect you get with the crackle will vary depending on the surface it's applied to. If it goes on over flakes of old paint, it will behave differently on the areas where there are flakes to those areas which are clean metal,Cheers,Bill.
