Cracked Patina I have always loved the look of really grody and pulled finishes on antique pieces. Just knowing that there have been multiples applications of paint and colors over a period of time and that the years of layering of colors and wear have allowed the finish and cracking to take place on the piece. Hence we created a Cracked Patina finish that could be used on any color of your choice of water based latex or acrylic paint. You can use your imagination by layering of colors and pulled finishes with the cracked patina finish.
