I bought Rust-Oleum Anti-Skid Coating Additive as part of my camper van equipment.

Keeping a Texture Additive Distinct from the Coating
I masked and prepared the exterior before spraying white-tinted bedliner.
The finished texture varied where the coating pooled and dripped.
My separate coating purchases included particulate texture additive.

My Takeaway from This Job
The exterior notes made the resulting texture part of the finish assessment. Rust-Oleum, SharkGrip and Clear Grip are additives rather than complete paints, so the particle formulation is the comparison within this group.
A texture additive is separate from the complete coating.

Rust-Oleum describes this product as an aluminum-oxide additive mixed into a coating, rather than a paint applied on its own. Its instructions distinguish the mixing sequence for one-part and two-part coatings and explain remixing during application to redistribute settled particles. That is useful when planning a textured surface in a van-related fabrication or repair project, because the additive and the base coating have separate roles. The manufacturer’s reference also identifies its use with several paint and stain types. My recorded bedliner outcome remains a separate experience from this additive’s product instructions.
Why Do The Instructions Call For Remixing During Use?
The particles can settle in the coating. Remixing redistributes the additive during application.

Two Alternatives to Compare
SharkGrip and Seal-Krete Clear Grip are alternative coating additives. Their particle formulations are the point of comparison when choosing a textured finish system.
