Is this enough for anti-skid on a Tank?

I tried Model Master Custom Lacker System. It's to make Vinyl Top on plastic car. It's a 3oz. 2-bottles system I tried to get the closest I could with my phone, so please take a look and please give me your impressions on this. Is it enough? It's a T-62 Mod. 1972 turret




TIA

Marc

[EDIT] I've put the same bottles in the photo. Anyway, it's Model Master #28154 the White Vinyl Top Base Coat and #28155 which is the White Vinyl Top Texture Coat. I only found them here in white. I'll just airbrush some camo coat on top.

It looks more like cast texture than anti-slip.

OK, so once I apply a color other than white, it will look like a vinyl top like we used to have? Nothing that looks like anti-skid.

Basically, is there something in modelling paints or weathering where that lacquer system could be useful?

Thank you Sargent Pickle

I don't think there is anything else in modeling products, but I have seen people use rustoleum terra cotta or other textured sprays, and once painted it looks perfect. here is a good example
