well a couple actually...First, I have trim in my bathroom I would like to use. It's painted gray. Can I just prime over this and then do the crackle thing or will the gray end up showing thru? Second, since the crackle paint will be flat sheen, do they make some kind of sealer as this will be in my bathroom?

i have never used the crakle paint but i assume it is a 2 part application meaning you put the first coat on as the color you see between the splits of the crackle then add the paint that will do the splitting.read the cans for more info.as far as sealing goes just put a coat or two of polyurethane over it once your done.
