I'll add a few comments to what Mark J. posted. I bought my paint
at Wal-Mart and I think it is the same line of paint that Mark
purchased at Home Depot. There are three or four colors to chose
from. I'll add a few hints that will shorten your learning curve with
this stuff.
1. Read directions on the can
2. Read directions on the can (Yes, I know I typed it twice)
3. Read directions on the can
4. This paint is not a "cover" paint but an accent paint and
it works great if used properly.
5. First paint the "object" with a matching color base coat.
When the base coat is dry you spray on the "spatter" coat.
Keep the can the proper distance from your work (read the
directions on the can) and don't overdo it. Start with a
light coating and build up as necessary or to get the look
you want. This stuff will effectively hide the weave in the
"KR" fiberglass cloth with no filler.
6. Finally , spray on a "clear coat" to fix the texture and
generally protect the finish. It's best to read the directions
on the can at the store so you don't have to go back to
buy the base coat and clear coat. The base coat is basiclly
anything of your choosing. The clear coat is sold right
next to the texture paint.
Hope this helps and, oh yes, by all means, read the directions
on the can before using. :-)
