Default Texture spray painting

Normally it's done with a gravity fed HVPL gun.
First spay the base coat as you normally would.
Wait about 15 min for the base coat to "flash" or film over.
Then reduce the air pressure very low. 5 - 8 PSI works for me.
Test your spray on some test paper and make sure the droplets are
what your looking for. Normally you'll spray about 2 1/2 ft back from to
object
to get a good even coverage. Reduce the pressure to make the droplets
larger,
increase the pressure to make them finer.
Clean up, go have a beer. :-)

Does anyone know what's involved in spraying a texture finish?

I think it requires a special tip(s)? Or does it take a special gun?

I have a small automotive touch up gun that I use often.....can I get a

tip
for it?

Tried searching the web for some "industrial paint supply" places but no
luck.

THANKS for any help.
