I like its texture. I first tried using some wall texture spray but I didn’t like how it took the paint. What I found that worked better was using some old paint that I had in the garage and mixing in a boatload of sand into it. This created the texture and consistency I was looking for. For final coloring I just used some 99 cent bottles of paint from arts & crafts section of Wallmart and mixed them together with some water until I found a combination to my liking.
