Addding texture

I'm trying to add that kind of small granular sand-like texture that you find on some plastic devices to a model in render studio. I can add the perlin texture, but can't seem to scale it down enough (or at all in fact) to make it look right.

Any help much appreciated!

    There are two different Perlin noise functions currently. "Perlin noise texture" and "perlin_noise_texture". If you are using the first one then you want to increase the "Tiling" parameter at the bottom of the settings to decrease the scale of the noise. If you are using the second one then it has more advanced controls and a separate "size" parameter (the first one) which controls the size independently of the other effects (where as with the first one you are basically scaling the whole pattern after it is generated).
