How To Prep & Paint Stucco. Painting Stucco With A Paint Sprayer.

What happens here

Work as a two-person team for efficient application. One person will spray the stucco, applying a thick, wet coat of paint. The other person immediately follows behind with the roller, 'backrolling' the freshly sprayed paint into the stucco's porous surface. This technique ensures that the paint fully penetrates the texture, providing maximum adhesion and a consistent finish. When spraying, load the surface with more paint than you would typically use for smooth siding, as the stucco absorbs more paint and the roller needs ample material to push into the pores. The backroller must stay very close to the sprayer, as stucco paint dries extremely quickly, making it difficult to work in if it dries prematurely.

Goal: Apply paint evenly and effectively to the stucco surface.

Tools and materials

  • Cardboard Shield Holder — Protecting adjacent surfaces during spraying
  • Paint Sprayer with Extension Wand Graco — Applying paint to the stucco
  • Cardboard — Creating a shield for straight edges

What they say

Hide

here we got some stuckco. We're going to show you. We start off and we got a clean nap. We start off by loading up the map, getting it really wet with paint. So, I just spray the nap really wet. And now Eric's got a nap that's really wet with um paint. So, I'm going to start spraying the Stuckco. And Eric's going to be back rolling when I'm spraying the Stuckco. So, I'm going to try to load on more paint than I typically would on the siding of the house because the nap itself needs to be able to have paint to back roll into the floor. The person back rolling wants to stay pretty close to the sprayer cuz the paint on Stuckco dries extremely fast and he needs to have paint to actually back roll to push into the floor. So, keeping up with me spraying. And then we got footing to do too here. The cardboard seal. Little more difficult to do with one arm. Only got one arm cuz I crashed on a bic last week. Broke my scapula. So, and the one arm cleaner now.
