Google has failed me, or else my vocabulary has failed me. I am
trying to find a way to refinish my BN1 heater. It, like almost
everything serious and electrical in the 50s, was covered with a very
fine crackle finish. I would love to be able to re-create that
finish.
Maybe it isn't called a crackle finish. All I find under "crackle"
are 500 ways to painting old wood furniture to reveal another color
underneath the top coat. That isn't what crackle means to me. At one
time cameras, projectors, elelctrical test equipment and lots of other
stuff was finished in black crackle. How do I make that finish come
alive in 2012?
