2 ways, unreduced laquer sprayed at a lower pressure . Or spray can "webbing " you can get the spray can webbing made by Krylon from Michaels (the arts and crafts store)

The splatter is called "stibble effect" in the airbrush world. Hold a popsicle stick in the paint stream and the 'stibble' then comes off of the stick. Practice on something else first.

You can also do a decent job by flicking lacquer with a wire brush.

That's not splatter it's webbing. The webbing in a can comes out much thicker than factory. The factory technique can be achieved but you'll need a compressor/spray gun/etc and way more involved but more authentic. Both methods need to be practiced quite a bit until you can get the right effect you need....practice on cardboard/wood etc.

Look here: http://www.pinrepair.com/restore/index1.htm#paint Got to section 2c and scroll down and Clay has the different methods/techniques of doing the webbing and splatter.

Note that the splatter or webbing effect is done UNDER the original art. Have fun!
