Help identifiying render

[GARZX9R]

Hi all, i'm half way through building my garage/bedroom extension, the top half of the existing house is rendered, it isn't sand/cement render, monocouche and doesn't look like a tyrolene, it seems to be built up of one thick coat of a coloured system but the final finish looks like a very very fine grit that looks as if it was sprayed on, I would like to match the new to the existing to save a bit of work, but I was thinking if I find it hard in matching i'll just monocouche the new and then have no choice to monocouche the existing so it all matches,

cheers

Sounds like render painted with sandex .

You could acrylic over the existing provided it is sound.

hi, I used the word grit, bit its not as in sand shaped, it is more like tiny tiny little chippings

Sounds like sprayed on acrylic.

Why do you think it was sprayed on?

I managed to get answer to my question tonight, the girlfriends uncle is a plasterer so I sent him a picture on his mobile, he said it has been a coloured base coat render then a sprayed on thin top coat acrylic, he said It defo hasn't been troweled off. But trowelling off will get me the closest finish with not having a sprayer

Sounds like sprayed on acrylic.

I rest my case M'lord.
