Re: spatter paint effect
With a bit of practice you could do a good spatter effect using Rustoleum...
Lay down your base color, preferably a section that you can work on which will remain wet while you apply your spatters...
Like I said some practice, not only with the technique but with how thin to make the spatter/accent color...
You will want it to be approximately 1/4 to 1/2 as thick as the base color so as it dries, it becomes part of the base color/ same level...
Most spatter jobs are done with a base color and as many as 2-4 accent/spatter colors...
Several tools can be used to apply the spatter...a brush with the hairs cut short, dragged perpendicular to the edge of a card or thin piece of wood...a toothbrush and create the spatter with your fingernail, I have also used a stick, dip it in the thinned accent paint, let some of it drip off in the paint and then drip and sling it around on the surface...
Once you get the hang of it, it is fun to do and the results can be quite impressive...
If you want to work faster, you can get an assistant and each of you practices a part of the technique until you feel confident enough to do the main surface...
Oh and BTW, mask off any areas you don't want to get spattered...it can get messy...

Whichever direction you go, we'd love to see pics of the job!
Good Luck and Have Fun!
