Remove the crackled paint from flat surfaces using a 2-inch metal putty knife. Scrape away large areas of paint to create a consistent texture.

Sand the surface of the object using 220-grit sandpaper. Sanding will create an even surface to paint.

Wipe object with a damp towel to remove any dust particles. Let surface dry completely before continuing.

Stir primer with a paint stir stick and prime the surface of the object using a 2-inch paint brush. Work primer into any crevices on the surface to create an even coverage of the entire object. Allow primer to dry for one to two hours and apply a second coat if necessary.

Cover the entire surface of the object with paint using a 2-inch paint brush. Be sure to stir the paint thoroughly using a paint stir stick before applying the paint. Allow paint to set for two hours and apply a second coat.
