We built a cover for our 5th wheel and it is constructed by 4x4 square tubing and we covered the back yard side with Durock (concrete board). We also purchased caulking that expands and contracts with the hot and cold weather to fill in the cracks of the mounted Durock) Now I want to texture the Durock board with an outdoor spray on siding that will not crack. I just need to know the name of some kind of material we need to finish the wall. Preferably we would like to spray this on with a high pressure sprayer. Or any other suggestions you may have. I know this can be done, I haven't found any one that knows how to do something like this.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Powder, about all I can think of is using elastomeric paint if I understand the question correctly. Another (better IMO) if there isn't already siding over the Durock would be to dry it in (in this case) with felt paper and side it with vinyl or my favorite, Hardi board siding. Good luck on your project!

Elastic texture? Not in household department.
I've see some rubberized texture in industrial use, but don't know if you can buy it over the counter.

Kris, Google "elastomeric paint"

I'm trying to help the OP with his/her situation from the way I'm reading it. Not the proper way of doing things, not something to argue about.

Like I said...Google "elastomeric paint"

Paint, or texture? What was the question?
I wouldn't rush into finishing part before making sure the boards will not crack with temperature changes. Steel expands and shrinks with temperature changes quite a bit.
Concrete not much.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I believe the elastomeric paint is what I am searching for. It is a solid wall and I want it to have a rough finish. I will do my research. Thanks so much!
