Anyone know where to buy it?

I'm thinking of spraying it on the outside bottom of some tanks.

Thanks
Jim

You can buy that anywhere. I used to get it from home depot and crappy tire. They call it "Texture Paint".

Used to paint my computer cases with it :)

Any of your average stores will carry it. I've picked it up from Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Walmart and Michaels on different occassions.

Are you doing a substrate-less tank?

Don't forget you will be looking at it from the back .You won't get a textured look . You might want to test the paint first, on a piece of glass .

I'm not reallt looking for a textured look. I just thought it would look nicer then a bare bottom thats my reason.

I've done it myself and the texture does come through nicely. There's a pic in this post.
