Since we are building our own house and just getting into drywall, I bought a hopper gun from Home Depot. It worked A LOT better than I expected and 1000x better than using a spray can (which covers about 2 square feet before it runs out). You load the hopper with water diluted all purpose pre mix drywall mud (thin about the consistency of thick paint or thin pancake batter) and hook up a air compressor to the gun (I used 50 psi), and then point and spray. It did the perfect orange peel pattern, I was amazed.

Yup, not just paint texture. Get the spray on texture in a can and practice on some drywall scrap. Drywall/painter we use goes well beyond the patch borders to blend stuff in. He's good. Me, not so much.

Going to go with good enough, DW is fine with it....

It's master bath, nobody but us will see it.

Looks like a knock down finish with several coats of paint. Getting that texture with paint alone would be difficult.

Agree.

As the Original Guy Calling Only For Paint, this looks to need more than paint.

Oh, I hate textures like this. Sorry, OP, this one is going to be difficult.

EDIT: sounds like DW is happy. You are happy. Carry on!
