With all of the white on the Heritage, I liked how the black door surround looked in contrast even though it was originally just the dark underlayer meant to have white crackled over it. So, I decided to keep it black by crackling black paint over the underlayer. The effect is less obvious than if you use a high contrast color under your exterior color, but it still works. It actually just makes it look like old paint, which is actually what I was striving for. In a way, it looks a bit like burned wood. Note to self: discovered how to make charred wood on accident! I've also started to paint the front door, using Barn Red by Americana. It still needs another coat and some modest aging, but I love it already!
