Crackle milk paint like a pro. Our Natural Crackle Paint Finish lets you create authentic, aged paint effects with natural materials; no harsh chemicals required. From fine hairline cracks to bold “alligator” textures, this medium gives furniture, walls, and crafts that timeless, antique look in just one coat.
Natural Crackle Paint Finish by RMP Finishes is a collagen-based crackle medium that produces a stunning, weathered look without synthetic additives. It dries clear with a satin sheen and can be applied with a brush or roller between layers of Real Milk Paint® to create your desired effect.
Unlike chalk-based crackle paints that can fail or flake unpredictably, Natural Crackle delivers consistent, controllable results — from subtle, aged texture to deep, dramatic fractures that reveal your chosen base color underneath.
Natural Crackle Paint Finish is ideal for a range of creative projects, including:
| Size | Approx. Coverage (Unthinned) | Notes |
| 8 oz | ~12 sq. ft. | Thinning increases coverage |
| 16 oz | ~25 sq. ft. | Use straight for large cracks |
| 32 oz | ~50 sq. ft. | Thin 10–20% for finer lines |
| 1 Gallon | ~200 sq. ft. | Ideal for wall applications |
NOTE: Natural Crackle is not recommended to be used with paints other than Real Milk Paint®. Please test Natural Crackle with your paint before proceeding to the full project.
At RMP Finishes, we believe in complete ingredient transparency so you know exactly what’s in the products you use on your projects. Our Natural Crackle Paint Finish is made from safe, natural components that perform beautifully without introducing harsh chemicals into your workspace.

No VOCs, no formaldehyde, no synthetic binders. SDS available here.
