I have taken the soffits off my roof and am sanding, filling and

Originally they had a sandy surface, but all I have found is shiny
black gloss which shows up uneven where it goes over the smooth filled
patches, compared to the textured parts.
A textured finish would hide the imperfections.
Where can I buy such?
googling [textured exterior black wood paint] doesnt work.
Is there perhaps a textured undercoat I could put under the gloss
topcoats?
Or am I using the wrong words in my googling?

the original paint seems to have no undercoat,
could it be bitumen paint which i think iv heard of from somewhere?

sounds more like sandtex.

Just mix some sand or filler of some sort with the paint.
