To age the whole thing, I do a quick blackwash with watered-down acrylic paint from the craft store: I don't know why they call it "Shell White." I suppose "Bone White" is too morbid: The topcoat was "Satin Shell White" from Rustoleum. When the primer had dried, I applied more mustard to make scratches that would show through the topcoat to the primer. With the masking in place, I gave the whole thing a coat of white primer: The point is to use something water-based that the oil-based paint can't stick to. In reality you can get away with anything viscous enough to stay where you put it. I use mustard because I was able to determine through a months-long series of clinical trials that it has just the exact right pH balance to counteract the corrosive activity caused by the solvents in the spraypaint.Īctually, no that's not true. Also known as French's Classic Yellow Mustard or "ew, gross, how long has this been in your shop?" Once the clearcoat was dry, I picked out all of the areas where I wanted scratches to show through to the bare metal with mustard: The chrome paint itself is very delicate, so after it had set up, I gave it three coats of clear.
