Waterbased Crackle Paint Process

Materials:

Smooth water-based primer, solvent-based primer, plastic substrate, metal substrate

How to Process:

  1. Sand the substrate with 400 mesh sandpaper and apply one to two coats of WPA-3119 crackle primer (intermediate sanding can be skipped depending on the situation).
  2. After the primer dries at room temperature for 2-3 hours, spray WPA-3127 crackle topcoat with a thickness of one “X” to one and a half “X”.
  3. After the crackle topcoat dries at room temperature for 3 hours, sand with 600 mesh sandpaper.
  4. After drying for 3 hours, you can apply a gloss finish.

Tips:

  • You can spray a pre-tinted coat of WPA-3118 color paint; This step can create a leather-like texture effect.
  • Alternatively, spray WPU-2975 soft-touch topcoat to achieve a soft feel.
  • You can control the size of the cracks by adjusting the thickness of the crackle primer and topcoat; thinner applications result in smaller cracks, while thicker applications produce larger cracks.
  • Ensure thorough testing for adhesion and issues like delamination before mass production.
