I have executive texture on my walls and I am trying to patch a hole but I have no idea how to match the texture. The executive texture is not the same as orange peel nor popcorn texture so please don't bother telling me how to patch those. I have not found anyone who actually knows how but the people posting on this forum seem to be in the know so this is my last hope. Please help!

Welcome to the forum! I'll have to guess, is it one of these?

yes, it is actually the first one. I see it is also called knock-down.

You can use the search- at the top of this page. Or, if you have a spray hopper and air tank, shoot it, set for 5-10 minutes, then drag a big blade over it, knocking down the highs.

When I'm in a hurry, I'll shoot 20 minute fast mud on a patch, then blade it, clean the tools in between, and paint it. You have to move in a hurry, too! Or just google knockdown. Be safe, G
