Develop character and depth with one easy finish.
Cracked Patina recreates the warmth and charm that history lends to wooden furniture and the decorative accents that make a house a home. Achieve a lovely cracked finish that once took layers of paint and years and years to develop.
There’s a certain kind of beauty in the rough edges that antiques develop from years of hands lovingly placing plates upon a table’s surface, or a mother’s hip closing a dresser drawer as she holds her sleeping baby night after night. When you pair Cracked Patina with One Step Paint you get full control over details like these as you refinish your favorite pieces.
It no longer takes years to develop the perfect amount of texture and age for your furniture. With Cracked Patina, you can create a perfectly unique pulled finish on any piece. Simply choose the One Step Paint colors you wish to layer and pair them with Cracked Patina for a beautiful weathered look.
Amy's Tip: Get inspiration for aging furniture from the world around you. I love taking notice of weathered shutters, the layers of paint found on scrap wood, and so much more.
For best results, pair Cracked Patina with Rescue Restore Paint.

This frame was a very shiny gold frame that did not coordinate with my decor. I base coated with One Step Bauhaus Buff, followed by cracked gesso and then a custom blue milk paint. Once dry, I antiqued it with the Antiquing Glaze showing the gesso layer underneath. The last step was applying a light coat of Mind Your Own Beeswax and no buffing.
Works just like magic
Still learning how to apply it but will use it more.
Store owner replied: we can't wait to see your projects!
It work great very impressed with it!
Awesome
This stuff is magic! The crackle you get is amazing and they shipped so quickly.
There is nothing that gives that old world finished like Cracked Patina. I’ve tried to create my own and it just doesn’t work. When I run out of this Amy Howard product I rush to order more!
Loved my layering with cracked patina and one-step paints. My Mica powder was the perfect finishing touch!
I was so excited how this project came out so much so that I did 2 more immediately and they were great also.
Painting a shutter for a craft project and wanted it to pop. Used a light base coat, Crack Patina and black top coat. Could not be happier. Looks Fantastic. So easy to use!!
This is the coolest product!! I can’t wait to use it on more items. So easy to use and if you watch the videos that Amy and her team make you are sure to succeed!
I love this product! It allows you to make so many different textures depending on the amount used.
First time using the cracked patina. It is a winner. Very simple to use. After watching Amy Howard’s video on how to use it, I went to work on some accessories. I will be using this more!
Such an amazing product- no matter the surface!!
I love this product. It was so easy to use and really made this look antique.
This stuff is so cool it will work beautifully on the piece I'm working on can't wait to show you😀
Love having Cracked Patina in my finishing products. I’ve used it on several different surfaces including wood and metal, and always love the results.
I cannot say enough about this stuff! If you love old work looks. That vintage farmhouse look. This cracked patina is a game changer! Highly recommend 👍🏼👍🏼
These are by far the most amazing products! Cracked patina is so easy to use and the results are incredible … Thank you Amy!!!!!
I have used Cracked Patina so much! This piece was a reproduction which was enhanced with the use of Cracked Patina. Adding an old world feel, without having to wait years to happen!
Cracked patina works great. We completely sanded down this ornate piece, my client was going for a coastal look. I stained the wood. Mixed the cracked patina with a bit of water which makes it go farther. Let dry. Painted Luxe gray a section at a time and did my pull off. It does not take but a minute for the one step to start drying. I’m going to add a brown one step to the doors once the homeowner gets chairs reupholstered to add a little more zing to it. But easy to use and looks great.
I used the cracked patina for the first time on the pictured portion of a custom headboard and am an absolute believer in this and all Amy Howard products. It performs better than expected and created the exact effect I was hoping to achieve.
Cracked Patina is so versatile! And when you want an authentic chippy look it's simply the best! This is sample of a new technique Amy showed us on a Finish Finish using Cracked Patina.
Great effects achieved with cracked patina. So far I’ve mostly used it on small accessories like this hand mirror I will always keep a bottle handy.
I absolutely love the affect of the Cracked Patina. This was my first time using it and I couldn't be happier with the way this piece turned out. I get so many compliments on it.
This stuff is awesome, just sit back and watch the magic. Love it.
First time using this & I LOVE IT! So easy to use & do. Next time I’m going to pull it more, actually forgot you could do that with the stool I did, but like the farm house crackled look that this has done all by itself. Stool looks like it came out of a barn find! So glad I found Amy Howard!
Amazing product. Get the Old World Finish every time. Easy to use. A+
I used the One Step paint on this tin tile along with the Cracked Patina. I then used the dark and clear wax to finish it off. It turned out just how I envisioned. Watching Amy’s videos are very helpful in learning how to use her different products.
