MOTM

I was roaming around Lowes (Home Depot clone) and noticed some interesting 
paints that could possibly be used inplace of Tolex on cases.  I picked up a 
can of spraypaint made by Krylon that is called "Make It Stone".  It's made 
to give any object a stone or granite look and it has a thick bumpy tolex 
type texture.  I sprayed a little pine with it, let it dry and it looks very 
promissing (once black is sprayed over it).  It comes with a small can of 
protector spray for about $10.  Not to be confused with Krylon's $8, one can 
stone spray, which looks more like grain sized sand mixed with paint and 
doesn't have nearly the thickness of texture or style of their $10 product.

Also I saw some kind of textured paint or covering in large plastic 
housepaint sized cans that are meant to be applied with a roller.  I'm 
tempted to check that stuff out too.
