I'm currently using Hammerite textured paint to seal the plaster. This stuff (originally designed to prevent rust) has an automatic fish-eye bumpy finish... I further increase the texture by applying all coats of this finish using a big sponge and a "stippling" technique while it dries (dabbing it on, instead of stroking). This also makes it very easy to repair damaged areas (in case of accidents during transport and set up).

Also, the subtle dark bronze color of Hammerite "hammered finish" looks fab.
