The crackle effect is one of the easiest things to do!!

Spray a gloss base coat, white in this case. While still wet, spray a flat top coat, the green, the two colors don't bond fully so they pull away from each other and give you the crackle effect.

Thin top coat equals thinner cracks, thick top coat gives you thicker cracks.
