Crackle Effect Wardrobe

Pink and green magic

In this DIY project we transform a simple wooden panel into a unique wardrobe that will transform your entryway or dressing room. Join us for a very simple but effective paint journey which will make you “wow!” for sure!

Materials Used

Pre-Treatment

Ensure the workspace is clean, dry, and free of dust. Collect your materials and make sure to work in a well-ventilated area wearing appropriate work gear like gloves and a mask!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Painting the Panels

Shake the Montana GOLD Line spray paints (pink and green) vigorously for 2-3 minutes.

Remove the black safety ring under the nozzle and start spraying away from the object to clear the nozzle.

Apply an even base coat of Montana GOLD spray paint (either pink or green) on the wooden panels. Hold the can approximately 20-30cm away from the surface and spray in a smooth, sweeping motion. Allow the base coat to dry completely.

Applying the Crackle Effect

After the base coat is fully dried (wait at least 45 minutes but no more than 24 hours), apply Montana Crackle Effect spray paint in black.

Shake the Crackle Effect spray can for 2-3 minutes. Remove the black safety ring and clear the nozzle as previously instructed.

Hold the can approximately 20-30cm away from the surface and spray in a cross-coating motion (left to right and then top to bottom). Ensure thorough and even coverage with the Crackle Effect spray.

Developing the Crackle Effect

Allow the Crackle Effect spray paint to develop and distress (crack) the base coat. The cracking process will begin to appear as the paint dries and reacts with the base coat.

The final look will depend on factors like drying time, temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the base coat.

Final Assembly

Once the panels are completely dry and the crackle effect has developed to your satisfaction, proceed to attach screws and hangers to the panels. These will serve as functional elements of your decorative wardrobe.

Additional tips for your painting project
