The paint on the mat is like a grain affect. Can anyone reproduce that?

Start glue-in! The 'grain effect' is actually the blue paint that has worn off of the high spots of the rubber textured mat. All ya gotta do is spray it blue again, after ya fix those holes.

I remember a cheesey TV commercial for a product I bought that used to air here during the 1970's,similar to a K-Tel/Ronco type product that would show them repairing rips in vinyl tops,luggage etc.It worked pretty well for me.
It came with multiple cups of different colored gummy compounds to apply with a spatula & match to the tear,rip or hole you wanted to fix.
After application to the tear,you would let it set up and then choose from one of the many different madrid/pebble grained vinyl textured patterned pieces of paper they supplied and lay it over the repaired area to heat with a household iron.After cooling down,you would pull the paper off and see a final vinyl repair that closely matched in both color & texture.

Here is a Permatex products page showing items #80902,81781,81785 and 81786 that look like the same idea to me.

I just noticed the "painted effect" your talking about.
Guy's, look closley at the flat field around the pn# on the right.
Good luck with that one Jed
One thing you might expirement with to get that look, is after shooting the blue, lightly wipe the high spots with a lightly dampened rag with thinner or reducer ???

It looks similar to trunk spatter paint. Perhaps clear and blue? Just a wild thought.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I think it's just poor coverage.

[Nova Jed]

It almost looks like burlap was laid over it and then sprayed?? And then when the PN was pressed in it created that spatter look. Isn't there anyone on this site that can shed some light on how they painted them? I just picked up another back half this Saturday that had no rips or tears and it was the same way.
