        <title>What process should I use for a textured hard coating on tread plate</title>
        <description> I need a texture of 50-100 grit of say tungsten carbide or some super hard material for some nut shelling equipment.     It must be a rough finish like sandpaper.

The current method is a 2 wire spray, HAI 775 Ni. bond w/ HAI 595, but the coating is inconsistent, wears smooth and don’t last long approximately 150 hours. 

Any recommendations on a better process and material would be appreciated</description>

You might be able to do something similar with an exterior acrylic or epoxy type paint and add some sand.]]></description>
