How do you pickle painted cabinets

Chris
by Chris
We pickled my painted cabinets in another home over 20 years ago but I seem to be having trouble remembering exactly how we did it? They turned out beautiful. We did it over a light blue paint and now I want to do it over a dark blue painted cabinets, but when I tested it on the back of the door it looked awful. See pictures. The first one is the awful job I did and the second shot is a FEW of the cabinets we have to stipple/pickle. We need help desperately!!
