After Talking to some Experts, i came to the concluse that this way it the best and cheepest way to put on Anti Skid. Go down to the a store and get yourself some Tarre Cotta for about $4 to 5 bucks and spray it on the places that would have the Anti Skid on it. Put a cople of light coats on and you have the perfect Anti Skid. Its not a mess thing to clean up, and you don't have to use your airbrush or paintbrushs to put it on, and the resultes are fantastic. I've used it a couple of times and I'm all ways very pleased with the way that it turns out.

Anyone know if there is a British version of this stuff?

On our wagons in the '80s' we painted the vehicle, covered the required areas in "Spillsorb", (it absorbed fuel spillages) while it was still wet then when it dried gave it another coat.

Citadell makes a textured spray paint too. That should be usable as well.

You probably learned it from Gino who had posted this on most of the armor modeling forums a little while ago:

Adding non-slip texture.

We kinda figured that since your name was at the bottom of the article. Great tip by the way Gino.

I've used Gino's technique as well and it's look great. First time I've tried any sort of anti-slip.

First, I too have used this technique, Thanks to Gino, and have had nice results.

Second, you do not have to use the terra cotta paint...just the textured paint will do fine...they use the same "grain" of sand inthe can, just a different color. You can also find this stuff at any general hardware store and Walmart.

(Just remember to mask off what you don't want textured!) :-)
