I recently made my first attempt at spatter on a dartboard cabinet. Used black rustoleum spray paint and just sprayed some right into the cap. Then I took an old toothbrush, dipped it in the paint, and ran my (gloved) thumb through the bristles. The spatter laid very flat with no bumps and I think it turned out pretty decent-good enough for my basement at least.
