Completely cover the Base Coat with one heavy coat of black Top Coat - for a larger crackled pattern, continue spraying 2-3 additional coats while the first coat is still wet; 1-2 Top Coats for finer Cracklin' Finish. For best results Top Coat should be applied evenly, while holding the can approximately 4 " from the surface. Allow to dry for several hours.

Hint:
For Top Coat - the closer you hold the paint can while spraying the object, and the heavier the Top Coat is applied, the larger the crackled pattern will appear. For smaller cracks - hold can a little further from object and spray only one, heavy coat. For best results spray 3 or 4 coats of the Base Coat before applying Top Coat.
