Jay for that textured coating, I am not sure how they
did that but expect it
was something in the paint mixture that dried at one rate while something
else dried at another.
I saw some splatter coat spray paint just a week back in the auto
supply store. I do not know how well it works.
I have reproduced spatter coat for small patches by manually applying
the bumps. After preparing the surface, I used the same paint as the
exterior finish, but put some to the side so it starts to get a bit
thick. Then, using a pin and a lot of time, random bumps are placed
with a pin. It is actually very easy to replicate the pattern by eye.
If your patch is over an inch square, expect to spent a good 15
minutes with the pin.
Wrinkle paint is a different story - it is extremely difficult to get
a wrinkle paint patch to look good. The best I can do is for tiny
patches - a well placed thumpprint while the paint is tacky is
acceptable.
