What FatWhacker said and you will need a large spray gun to apply it with.

the funny thing is, i am the painter at a bodyshop and i tried ordering some from our supplier, but it wasnt worth a crap. if you or someone had a brand name, that might help me to help them get some. the only stuff i really know about is SEM, and the stuff they sent me, i think it was PPG brand.

There is a product called shark grip from a copany called H&C. It is intended to use for slippless finishes on walk ways. You add the stuff to your paint and spray it on.

What are you doint with the texture paint?

Here's a pic of the finished product:
that looks really good. did you have to sand it after to "smooth" out the bumps. the stuff i used before, i can't remember the brand off hand, you sprayed it on, and once it was dry you wet sanded it lightly with 1000 grit paper, and that leveled off the high spots leaving the texture there, then painted it. it really matched the GM type texture on the dashes. but that stuff was pretty old and don't think its available anymore
