German term or phrase: Noppenbelag
Term appears in a list of finishes applied by roller, so no textual context available. There are plenty of pictures representing the concept on-line (via a Google Images search), but I'm at a loss to come up with a suitable English equivalent.

Google has 13,000 hits for "Noppenbelag", but none of the English options found on-line score anywhere near as high (I'd expect a result in the thousands rather than the tens or the hundreds)
