Ok, what is the proper way to apply the crackle finish? If you prime a part 
first will the top coat paint "crackle" up properly? (What is the proper 
name? hammer something or another?). If a primer coat does interfere with 
the crackle action, then should a phosphate scrub be used on the bare metal 
before painting? I have painted directly on bare metal with a heavy coat 
and it crackled up just fine. Now I wonder about the longevity of the paint 
job since I did not prime first.
