Name of a paint- any ideas?

first go over your walls with plaster or joint compound and fill in the holes and imperfections. Sand lightly. Then paint with Kilz to neutralize your walls. Then paint with latex paint. If you try to skip these important steps, your walls will look as bad as your efforts.

Check with your local paint store, Sherwin Williams, Dunn Edwards, etc.

Think this is what you want.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LNTLX8/ref=asc_df_B000LNTLX85319961/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395009&creativeASIN=B000LNTLX8&linkCode=df0&hvadid=216767879473&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12448824948056275486&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033057&hvtargid=pla-388717086913

You can also skim coat them with joint compound using a roller and slightly watered down, and then use a large drywall taping knife to smooth the walls.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeGWbgAUvCM&t=238s

Paint stores sell packets of mix-in textures, all the way from a fine, cleaned 'sand' to rougher stucco and popcorn. You can apply the first coat with a shaggy roller to give lots of texture, then the 2nd coat with a smooth roller over the first to unify it all. Be sure to patch any gouges,holes, etc., first. A good primer will also help a heavier paint stick to the wall. You can add texture when doing the patching by applying the spackle with a putty knife to the wall in thin splats/spots,then slightly smoothing, wiggling, poking and patting the wet spackle with the putty knife to lift it a bit,smooth it in places and give a more 'handmade' look before painting. Try not to use it anyplace where it's more than 1/4 inch thick,it might not dry evenly.You can also try pressing the smooth side of the knife onto the spackle,holding the knife parallel to the wall, and quickly lifting it off to create small peaks,then lightly go back and press the sharp points back down,but leave the valleys. Spackle can also be textured with dry sponges, with large holes (not kitchen sponges). If you use spackle in this way, be sure to give the thicker parts time to dry before painting. Experiment!! If you don't like it, you can scrape it off before it dries and try again!

Thank you Janet! Textured was the word I was looking for. I’m doing this myself so all your suggestions are very helpful. Thanks again. Happy New Year!

Thank you, the textured wall was exactly what I was looking for. The rest of the house is done in stucco and very hard to keep clean: dust, fireplace & candle suet stick in the crevices . If I like the textured paint I want in the kitchen, may try to go over the stucco to smooth it out a little. Thanks again
