The proper application method is essential for obtaining professional results and durability when painting stucco exteriors. An experienced painter should use the following key application techniques where appropriate.

Paint Selection: 

Acrylic latex paint is the best choice for stucco applications. In most cases, a flat-finish paint should be applied to preserve the stucco’s natural appearance.

Proper Surface Preparation:

The painters should ensure the stucco surface is free from dust and debris. In some cases, using pressurized air to remove dust works well. If the stucco is several years old, pressure washing is required.

Spraying Plus Backrolling: 

Most professionals select airless sprayers for large exterior stucco surfaces because they provide complete, highly efficient surface coverage.

Backrolling:

You will observe a painter spraying, and then following right behind are other painters using rollers with a long nap between 1/2″ and 3/4″ to force the wet paint deeply into every crevice and divot. This method ensures that the paint adheres to the stucco for long-lasting protection.

Why is this information important to know?

By understanding these techniques, you will know the right questions to ask when choosing a professional stucco painting company.
