There used to be a paint product a few years ago called Tartarugga, (I think thats how you spell it) and the photo looks some thing like that !! May be best to try the painters and see what they say>..

what you want is high build sandtex , you put it on with a trowel then roll over it with a stipple roller to pattern it
