Duplicating vinyl texture on painted interior parts.

Has anyone had any luck duplicating interior vinyl look on painted metal parts? I found a spray on texture coating from SEM (part # 39853). Has anyone used it or know of any tricks? The parts I'm doing will be very difficult and expensive to wrap in material so I'm looking for a similar effect I can spray on. Any ideas?
Thanks

 

I have been trying to do it. the closest I have come is to use hammertone and go over it with texture paint. my dad used wrinkle paint on his 50 chevy dash..it looked like undercoat.

 

Dude, I've tried everything, from the sem product to spraying & dabbing w foil & Saran wrap, you will never ever get the same affect, pay the money, get it wrapped! Good luck

 

Does Orange peel count? I couldn't imagine replicating something that has as tight of a grain like vinyl.

 

the closest you can get is to spray the part with wrinkle black, let dry for a couple days then shoot with whatever color you want to end up with.

it looks ok, but not a perfect match.

 

Thanks for the ideas. I may try the hammertone and see what I get. Doesn't have to be exact, I just don't want it completely smooth.

 

Depends on what you mean by 'vinyl texture'. If that means the tiny little pock marks that are common to some vinyls, and IF the part to be painted will accept it, sandblasting carefully can replicate (sort of) the pocks. Also the sandblast finish tends to 'flatten' the paint as is commonly found on interior painted surfaces. Don't want to use excessive coats as that tends to fill the pocks and the effect is lost. Doesn't cost much to try a test panel of some sort.......may not be at all what you are looking for, but this suggestion doesn't cost much either......best wishes

Try rattle can gravel guard for rockers and paint th color you want it to be as soon as it sets up, gives a reasonable result.

 

Very good suggestion...........dang! forgot about that stuff.....
