Great Video 👍🏻👍🏻😃 I’ve been searching the Internet for a VERY Long time trying to find someone that showed how to repair this type of textured wall from the 70’s ‼️ FINALLY Someone knows how to fix/repair this type wall 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank YOU sooo very much 🎉 ❗️❗️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Perfect timing..I just fill repaired wall arches and had to remove/hide water damage, mudded and all primed ready for topcoat. Was thinking I would add sand to the paint.... Thankful to catch this now. Lot easier to just reprime again with sand and avoid a zillion topcoats later. Subbed
Finally! I am patching a textured wall that has this effect as well, we had a new French door installed and I am doing the drywall and patching/painting part myself. I hate it when you can see the difference in the textures, new drywall is sooo smooth, going to go to my hardware store and hopefully they will have this. Can real sand be used? Can you roller it or does it need to be brushed?
The texture match and can be a real pain in the butt. There is a synthetic sand that you can buy at any major box store or any paint store. Don’t use real sand. Put it on with a brush so you can pull the grains around.
I have some old texture I am trying to match that I was just going to spray some orange peel texture to with a hopper gun but now i want to try this instead. since it more closely resembles the perlite/sand wall texture my old house has. Going to use a big brush because I have a lot of it to do.
Hi, thank you for this video. I am planning to paint with my sprayer, can I still use this method, then give my patches a couple paint coats with a brush, then spray the whole wall? Will I get the same effect? Thank you 8/15/24
Nope. The primer will still stick. I add it to the primer in the case you need multiple coats to match the texture. Then you only need 1-2 coats of paint on the area.
Trial and Error really. I start small, mix it in and try it in the primer. Then Add more if the texture doesn't look like it's matching. Remember, you can always add more, but can't take it out of the paint if you have too much.
Mix the recommended amount of synthetic sand into the primer. Usually it’s a recommended amount per gallon. Once you put a coat on, let dry. If it needs more texture, just paint another coat of primer.
The ratio is going to depend on the amount of sand that was in the original paint. Experiment with adding it to the primer, then paint a piece of scrap drywall and see how it turns out.
Yes I am truly late but your video is the best of all. I repair my wall with your tutorial. Thanks Dan
Glad it helped!

Hi, thanks for your video. My question is where can I buy that sand to add to my primer?

It won’t match the texture as well as if you use a roller. the sprayer will leave them more flat look. Hope this helps.
How much sand did you add to the primer? Are there instructions on that sand container?
Would adding sand to the primer affect the primer and what it does? Would adding to paint be better?
Nope. The primer will still stick. I add it to the primer in the case you need multiple coats to match the texture. Then you only need 1-2 coats of paint on the area.
How do you determine how much sand to add ? Say like per gallon of paint.
Trial and Error really. I start small, mix it in and try it in the primer. Then Add more if the texture doesn't look like it's matching. Remember, you can always add more, but can't take it out of the paint if you have too much.
@@KapikInc thanks for the response.
Need to know how to get rid of the new mud edge after repairs on the sanded wall?! Please help!
Use a sponge and lightly blend it in. Or sand it till there's no ridge
How do you know how much sand texture to add to the paint?
Mix the recommended amount of synthetic sand into the primer. Usually it’s a recommended amount per gallon. Once you put a coat on, let dry. If it needs more texture, just paint another coat of primer.
Thank you
What primer did you use? Thanks, Greg
It was a simple Pittsburg brand drywall primer. Nothing fancy. But primer needed for sure so the paint doesn't flash.
@@KapikInc Thank you Sir!
What is the ratio of sand to prime ??
The ratio is going to depend on the amount of sand that was in the original paint. Experiment with adding it to the primer, then paint a piece of scrap drywall and see how it turns out.
What's the product used ???????
It is a synthetic sand from the paint department at Menards. Any big box store will carry it in the paint section.
@KapikInc yes, found it, thank you.
Video starts at 0:49
Didn't turn out the best...not very uniform texture throughout the wall...
That can happen. Depends on how it grabs the paint roller.
Can I prime over the sanded spots if I have already painted over them or do I need to remove the paint & start over ?
Yes, that should work just fine. No need to remove the existing paint (unless it’s chipping and peeling)
Great video
Thanks Jon.
