Default Crackle Finish

Is this something that can be done DIY, or is it a specialist process? If so, does anyone know someone in the W London area that can do it.

Any info would be much appreciated.

why is there a B&Q near you then

the company that make it are called platic kote

theres a few different ways with the crakle finish to do aswell, such as the length of time ya leave it on determins the cracks in it too

i went through all the ins and outs with a salesman to be told that where not gonna be stocking that but we are gonna stock white appliance spray, glass frosting and radiator paint shite instead

would look cool though
