Sill Paint

Post by arcwelding01 »

Not sure if my posting made it earlier but I'm looking for the product that gives the dimpled finish on sills, all the of the shelf stone guard I can find gives a flat finish. Can anyone help?

Under body sealer, thick treacle like stuff. Brush it on then dab the brush to get the dimpled effect. Give it a day to gell then paint it. Well thats what I used anyway and you can't see the difference

the product we use is terotex 3000 recommeded for sills, you can create diffent textured effects by increasing the air pressure and the amount of material on the stonechip gun, also can be brought in aerosol can but difficult to get thick textured finish
