Ok.
You might know that with name "krackle finish"?? You can buy it in spray cans (VHT), just spray it and let it dry. The paint krackles by it self.

the wording surface stands about 3mm above the actual rocker surface so get a sanding block and be careful working down to a fine(1200)paper then clean and laquire if reqired like me to get the shine
