How to add texture to printed parts?

Question

Want my printed trim pieces to match the factory textured plastic. Anyone tried using sandpaper or other methods? Or is there a slicer setting that can help?

You'll want to use PETG with at least 0.2mm layer height. Works way better than PLA for car parts.
