Montana 418495 Crackle EFFECT Traffic Black - 400ml (EC9017)

I was very sceptical after reading the reviews, but I saw a video on YouTube, and decided to give it a go. I was NOT disappointed!!!!! I’ve read the instructions on the can, they are basic at best. I did a test on a scrap of wood. It says lay thick costs of their paint, at east three layers-I used some old cans I had in my shed, can’t remember the brand-wait at least 45 mins but no longer than 24hrs. I did both to see what would happen. Basically, the longer you leave it, the bigger the flakes become. I did one with the paint still wet, and the flakes are so small you can hardly see it. I then waited 3hrs, and the flakes are bigger,-about 2mm- but where the paint is thinner(single coat) it didn’t work. So I decided to do theee coats, waiting 30 mins inbetween. Obviously the base coat I sanded down repeatedly until it was nice and smooth beforehand. I didn’t want the wood grain to show through. After the third coat, I waited 30 mins, then I gave it a nice wet coat all over, waited five minutes, and went to town with the black flake. It’s very different to normal spray paint, it feels very light, probably the best way I can describe it. So I coated it loads until my base colour didn’t show through anymore. In hindsight, I should have done it with more light, I did it in the evening, but the video said to do it when it’s cool and not in the sun. So…🤷🏻‍♂️ And all of a sudden, it begins right in front of your eyes!! The video I watched said to blow on it where it doesn’t seem to happen, and that seems to speed up the process a bit where you are blowing. The end result is AMAZING!! Exactly what I wanted! I used a dark red underneath, but I now want to try it on other things with brighter colours!! Wear a mask and do it outdoors, it literally takes your breath away, my asthma did not like it!! They say leave it 24hrs before using so I will wait. Can’t wait till it dries so I can clear coat it and preserve it for good!! Photo 1 is my happy end result! Photo 2 is the wet paint Photo 3 is the 3hrs on the end and the grey ish colour is 24hrs later.

Love it ❤️

Do not waste money very poor paint .no crackle affect paint when dry comes off when rub

Wanted my boy to have a one off pc so went for a paint effect. Using Montana Crackle gave me the effects I was looking for.

Painted the dash to get a crackled effect, sprayed it, left it to dry, then went to check it a few hours later and rubbed most of it off with my hands, so threw it in the bin and resanded the dash, which as the paint was rubbish didnt take too long thankfully, useless product! Dont waste your money

No crackle. Just black???? Knowhere on the literature does it state you need an undercoat other than a brief statement on the can in tiny print. Also once you locate an undercoat, knowhere does it state which is compatible. Now have to start over having wasted over £20.

Loved the product. Learned a few lessons in the process and I’m sharing it for all my DIY lovers. Tips: 1) Faster this product drys the less it will crackle if at all. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Best used indoors or garage. If you spray it outside move it inside quickly and I mean quickly! Allowing it to dry at its own speed is key! 2) Blowing on it will with medium pressure will amplify and encourage the crackle effect! Don’t blow too hard or you’ll damage the crackle & move the paint like a tear. The video shows everything. I hope it helps. How Too! Brands I used: Krylon and Rust -Oleum 1) Spray Base color. Get full color coverage. Let fully Dry! 2) Be quick with this step! Have your crackle paint can nicely shaken, spray a little from can to get paint going… have it close by and ready to grab! Spray base color again. Cover project nicely and with amply product. Make sure it’s wet. No more than 2 or 3 seconds you’re going to hit it with the crackle spray paint! Move Fast on this step. Then watch it crackle! Practice/test on a paper plate. Recommend! Welcome & Enjoy!

El paquete llego rápidamente (dos días) y en perfectas condiciones. Bien protegido. Lo único que hecho de menos es que no tiene tapón aunque no es necesario. Aplique el producto y va de cine, genera un efecto muy bonito. En la foto os pongo una prueba que hice y vosotros mismos podéis comprobar el resultado. no hizo falta aplicar una capa muy espesa, apenas una rociada cubriente y dándole un poco de calor el efecto sale rápidamente. Falta aplicar la laca que espero que responda sin problemas.

I used the Montana Cans Crackle Spray Paint for my painting and achieved the effect I was looking for. Very satisfied with this paint.

Ottimo prodotto, facile da usare se si sa come fare.

Received defective spray - no crackle effect, Just plain black. When I created the return it says courier will pick it up. When I created a second return after 1 week, seller has made a self ship return. Wow great way of fooling customers. I strongly, don't recommend this seller. This has caused a lot of inconvenience for me & waste of time & energy. Very bad & poor service from Amazon & seller. Amazon customer service is of no use, on top arguing
