What happens here

After applying the initial coat, the painter inspects the wall for 'light spots' (areas that appear lighter than the rest due to insufficient paint). He explains that these spots are only visible once the paint dries, as wet paint can obscure them. He uses the ladder and gun extension to touch up these areas, ensuring a uniform and consistent finish across the entire stucco surface. He emphasizes the forgiving nature of flat paint in minimizing flashing or sheen differences during touch-ups.

Goal: Ensure uniform paint coverage by identifying and touching up missed areas.

  • Airless Paint Sprayer Graco — Applying touch-up paint

those in gives it a smoother look but um still gives you that stucco look some people might want to know you know why because even the customer thought i was going to be using a satin but i always use flat paints on stucco because i want my stucco to continue to look like stucco so i don't want it to have a shiny look because stucco when it's originally put on it's not shiny it's flat and so i wanted to continue to have you know that flat stucco effect and that's what you know we're doing by continuing to paint it flat again it's interesting until it dries you really can't see the spots that you miss but stucco is just one of those things you gotta be patient don't think you're gonna spray it just one time and be done because there's all these different angles after i hit it this time i'm gonna have to look at it again and spray it again at a different angle different look that's why i actually climb on the ladder and look down at the stucco also because looking up i'm going to spray up i'm spraying underneath some of the voids but i'm not spraying down on top of the voids because now when i get to this direction i can see you know white spots on the stucco that need to be sprayed you can see having an extension like this i'm not going to have to move my ladder nearly as much as you know if i didn't have the extension yesterday i was doing the top near the red band
