[QUOTE="mmu1, post: 625412, member: 319"] The thing I found worked pretty well if you had enough time (to wait for things to dry) was to use a [i]lot[/i] of diluted Elmer's glue and a crapload of sand - it ends up sinking into the glue and makes for a nice, realistically rough texture. It also works really well if you want to do something like a layer of dust/fine debris along the base of a wall of a ruined building, or boulders buried in sand. You can also do things like get a bottle of cheap Tempera paint, Elmer's glue, sand, and an old paintbrush you're not too attached to, mix the paint, glue, sand, and water, and paint it directly onto anything you might want to texture. Oh, and about spray painting/hand painting - you'll always have to do some of the latter if you're looking for best results, because things with rough textures only end up looking good if you dry-brush them with at least a couple of pregressively lighter coats after painting on the base color.
