Content: In most cases a binding primer should be used. But if the cost of priming is too high, it is possible to give acrylic paints more penetration and bite. One good product is Emulsa-Bond. It is emulsified oil that is added to acrylic/latex paint in order to increase its bond to questionable or chalky surfaces. The only down side is Emulsa-Bond is a little difficult to clean up, get out of brushes or rollers. Texture Additives
The range of products that give paint a textured look or feel ranges from fine aggregate, sand paint, to rolled on texture paint for hiding minor imperfections. Also in this category is a granular powder can be added to paints to make painted floors less slippery when wet. Texture paints are paint and texture in one application. A good example is Wel-Cote, which is available in different thicknesses and can be applied using their specialty rollers or worked with different combs and pattern brushes specifically manufactured for this texture paint. This product works well, but you will need to experiment before applying it to an entire room.
