Can I Mix Paint With Texture?
Adding sand or texture to floor and deck paint turns it into a skid-resistant surface. Sand texture in wall paint helps cover minor imperfections and can give walls a softer look. With enough powder or pre-mixed joint compound in paint, you can use a heavy roller, sponge or wide putty knife to create different surfaces such as swirls or a Venetian plaster effect. However, once texture is added to paint, the composition of the paint is changed, so you will need to take extra steps if you want the finish to adhere and be durable.
