I thought about doing this and looked up mixing paint with sand. I can't remember how easy it was to do but it was exactly what I was after as I was going to paint everywhere that I stood on with it to save any chance of me slipping

Better looking at someone who does line x in your area

I imagined that stuff would cost an absolute fortune. I like the look of it too but a bit expensive and a bit overkill for what is basically a pick up bed liner. Plus you can't do it yourself

Had some old tins of paint kicking about so used some high tempreture engine block paint in black worked a treat.
