Thanks so much for the help. What I had to do is get some of that stucco textre (red Devil I believe) and added it to the primer. I had to get the right consistency to match. It said to add to the paint but I added to primer to help match the upteen coats on the other stuff. Once it was up I took a fine sandpaper and knocked off all the rough parts to help dull it down. Then we put on 3 coats of paint over it and its a prettuy close match. I could tell that the amount of paint was what was really dulling it down, so I tried to put the texture before anything else. It is as close as I could get, and you can still tell a major diff. But at least its better than just a flat wall against a textured one. Maybe this will help to disguise the new wall and help mimic the existing walls. Thanks again for the help. Chris
