Can I use this Concrete shader on Genesis 2 male with a toga?

I want to make one of these guys into a greek statue:

I have tried to change the materials on my figures before but I cannot seem to get it to work.
I am good at using Daz but still lack a boat load of knowledge and often do not know how to do certain things to get the best from Daz.
Please feel free to look at my gallery and if there is stuff that I can do that you cannot, I would love to open up a exchange of knowledge with someone here. :)

I don't know if there's anything available for Genesis 2 but there's this for Genesis: http://www.daz3d.com/sculptural-genesis-ultra-fun-kit
Remember to select the figure under "Surfaces" before applying the shader.
There's also these:

If you use 3DL, the Dirt shader thing can do a really cool Bronze look (and man, I wish that worked in Iray)
The reason why you cannot just use any old shader on the figures directly without the need for a product like this is becasue the uvmapping, more importantly the polygons need to be an even size, otherwise you will get varied results over the whole figure. Some parts will compress the shader as the polygons ar more dense than other areas. If you read the blurb on this product the first thing it mentions is that is has a new UVmap to combat this.
If you have texture converter you could transfer these generation 3 skins for a statue over to M4 and then onto G2M. Only 1.99 if you are in the PC+

A more expensive option, but at least the textures are generation 4, so would not need to be converted are these:
