Category: Stucco - Topic: Applying Paint To Stucco

After you have correctly prepared your stucco to be painted and the primer has sat for at least 24 hrs, it is now time to paint the stucco. Painting stucco, because it isn't a completely flat surface like an interior drywall must be treated differently. Pros will apply paint to stucco using a paint gun that distributes paint evenly along surfaces. When painting stucco, the distribution of your paint is of utmost importance. Paint the stucco in small areas, and where unevenness occurs, saturate the area lightly at first, then use a second coat if needed. Exterior paint that is over-applied will crack sooner than paint that is applied in many small layers. If you are unsure about working with exterior paint and don't have a paint gun, it is best to call a local professional who can guarantee is work and get the job done right the first time.
