No Lift? No Problem! Airless Spraying Stucco Solo: How to Paint a Commercial Building by Yourself!

What happens here

The painter begins applying the darker color paint to the stucco walls. He explains that due to the heavy, textured nature of stucco, it's crucial to spray in multiple directions (e.g., horizontally and vertically) to ensure thorough coverage and penetration into all angles and crevices. He also notes that for previously painted stucco, back-rolling with a roller is less necessary, as the airless sprayer can achieve sufficient coverage and a uniform finish, especially with flat paint.

Goal: Achieve thorough and even paint coverage on textured stucco.

Tools and materials

  • Airless Paint Sprayer Graco — Applying paint
  • Spray Gun — Directing paint

and spraying so yeah originally i was gonna do the a lot of back rolling on this project and you know i started finding that it wasn't really necessary but the due to the heavy structure to this stucco there's like kind of these these infinite numbers of angles and i could spray it you know faster you gotta spray it one direction spray it another direction and then get on a ladder and look at it in multiple directions to make sure all the ins and outs of the stucco are um are coated and this is this job basically this stuck of what what we're really doing because it's already been painted back rolled multiple times it's in pretty good condition and we're just basically doing a color change on this i'm using a flat paint to achieve this color change we're using duration and so now like this side i can walk around and look and see um light spots and stuff like that where i can just hit and touch up these light spots and a little bit different than uh the back rolling process and stuff but this is a lot faster and more effective than what i was doing i'd be begin with and once again it's just a matter of just adapting and changing you know to the situation that you're in and this is working out you know really effective if this thing was just a stucco that had never been painted before the back brushing process is really or back rolling is really essential to get good
