Ford GT40 Dashboard

[harrygt40]

Hi any ideas on how to achieve crackle finish on dashboard for Ford GT40 1/12 scale.

 

Cheers, Harry.

Maybe stick some brown paper masking tape or tissue paper on the dash then paint over that?

Did you think about texture paint?

Normally it's for the seats and so on  

For example Zeropaints is offering this type.  Sprayed with more distance from airbrush to the dashboard it might bring the effect you are looking for

I got a textured finish on my 1/12 250 GTO by spraying matt black enamel thinned with turpentine to slow its drying and then stippling it with a small piece of sponge. I did try spraying at lower pressure from various distances but tended to get more of a splatter effect than the tight texture that I was after.

 

Hope fully the photo shows.

 

 

Cheers,

Thanks as Marco F. said the dashboard looks perfect will need to try in on a scrap piece of plastic and hopefully get it as good as yours.
