I need to add texture to paint.

[scalebuilderchad]

I work in 1:24th scale cars.

I need to find a way to add some texture to my paint. I need to paint a ragtop sunroof.

I googled this and people are putting all kids of crap in their paint. Baking soda, baby powder, flour, and who knows what else.

Does anyone have a less backwoods way to add texture to paint?

image of texture you're wanting to match ?

I might not even need texture. But I need a REALLY matte paint.

I have one of these I am painting white. I used Flat White, and even tried spraying from a distance. I can't the paint matte enough.

I can't see much from that pic ,
I would add the texture prior to spraying it .
Stipple it on , dry , slowly . Use the same paint .

I might try this. But I was hoping there was actually a product made for doing this.

Yeah , for Rhino Liner like that guy wants to create .

You could add embossing powder and stipple it on ,, or try and spray it .

Plain old white masking tape…

It's a folded piece like the example. Can't tape it all.

use a piece of sponge to stipple
light layers
