Sand in the paint.

I agree....but I would roll the sand mixed paint on, then dry, then spray a top coat of your color of choice on to get an even finish. Otherwise you will see all the roll marks.

No sand!!!!! It crushes and grinds as soon as you put pressure on it then comes right off making a mess you cant get rid of... use aluminum oxide!!! Order it from www.mscdirect.com (look under sand blasting supplies)

See how to do it here... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index....tart=180&sid=3e5d47abd2f61fef93aa2fc6ec6595cf

You end up painting the surface two times but its well worth the effort to get a finish that WILL NOT EVER budge!!

When I was in the Navy we put deck tread on by spredding sand on wet paint. Let it dry, and repait it, and put more sand on the wet paint let it dry, paint it the color that you want. The DECK APES tried to mix the sand in the paint, and THEY GOT A BIG MESS!!! They had to scrape the paint sand mix off as it would not dry, and looked like S#*T!

I found this pic of a Swedish vehicle. There is some serious texture up top.

I would but this computer is as slow as molasses going uphill in january and it would probably take 10 min. So untill i get around to fixing it...... just goodle aluminum oxide, its EXTREMEMLY common used as a sandblast media.

Any paint store that handles industrial coating can supply you with a texturing additive (usually ground rubber or polymer granules) that's specifically made to add non-skid texture to floors and steps, as well as areas around swimming pools.
Usually applied by sprinkling onto a base coat while it's still tacky. Then, when dry, painting over with a final top coat.
AwlGrip Griptex Additive, Skid-Tex Non-Skid Additive, Interlux Intergrip No Skid Compound just to name a few.
