How to match this wall texture

Question

I'm having trouble matching this drywall texture:

Would appreciate help on this.

Thanks!

@mmathis I don't know what is this texture and how to match it. Doesn't look like knockdown to me 🤔 — Kostia Dombrovsky, Nov 14, 2016 at 23:03
Kinda looks like popcorn, that's been scraped off and painted over, with a dirty brush. Definitely "spattered" on, with a gun though... — tahwos, Nov 15, 2016 at 1:22
Pretty sure it is a "skip trowel". I think sometimes they even add sand or something to it to make it grainy. — Damon, Nov 15, 2016 at 6:00

That's known as a "knockdown" texture, as it's sprayed on the wall and later "knocked down" with a wide taping knife.

Exactly how it's done is beyond the scope of this answer, but here are some resources.

Hmm I thought knockdown results in smaller and more edgy spots. The ones I have are much larger

It depends largely on the mud mix and technique.

Downvoter, care to comment? Wall texture varies widely depending on a number of factors, but you don't get uniform plateaus like this without a trowelling technique commonly known as knockdown. If you disagree, at least offer a reason.

Down vote was because It is not a knock down.
