How to paint stucco. The Best Way To Paint Stucco. How to paint a house

What happens here

After successfully spraying and back-rolling the stucco, the surface should look smooth and even, with all pinholes and hairline fractures filled. Remember that the key to a professional finish is applying enough paint and using sufficient pressure when back-rolling to force the product into the stucco's texture. Avoid dry-napping, which occurs when there's not enough paint or pressure, leading to an uneven and blotchy appearance. Utilizing tools like an adjustable extension pole can significantly aid in applying consistent pressure and reaching all areas comfortably. For convenience, a 2-to-4-foot adjustable extension pole can be purchased online from retailers like Amazon.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, uniform stucco finish free of visible cracks and dry-napping

What they say

Hide

Having an adjustable extension bowl is pretty convenient, too. Uh you can actually find one of these extra poles that I'm using right here on my Amazon store, on my website, the idaho.com. And um you can actually purchase some this extension pole, 2 to 4ft extension pole, cheaper than you can at your local paint store. So once again, one of the key elements to actually doing this and doing it properly is enough pressure. You don't put enough pressure, you're not going to force the paint into the pin holes and actually small fractures and cracks into the stucco. And you want to fill all that stuff in. And so you're actually putting a nice good amount of pressure. You don't have enough paint, you're going to end up dry napping it, and you're going to leave um uh what we call dry napping marks all over and it's going to look really blotchy. So, a lot of paint and a lot of pressure and your struct is going to look good.
