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

What happens here

To reach higher sections of the stucco wall, the painter uses a tall extension ladder and a spray gun extension. The gun extension allows for greater reach, reducing the need to constantly reposition the ladder. This method is particularly useful for achieving consistent coverage on tall walls and around fixtures like lights and pipes without excessive climbing.

Goal: Efficiently paint high sections of the wall with extended reach.

Tools and materials

  • Airless Paint Sprayer Graco — Applying paint
  • Extension Ladder Xtend+Climb — Reaching high areas of the wall
  • Spray Gun Extension — Increasing reach while spraying

What they say

is really essential to get good penetration and adhesion of your top toe but um or your paint but you know um this has been painted multiple times back brush back rolled and another thing i didn't have my 30 inch gun extension when i was out here yesterday and it was at another job site and now you can see i got a way farther reach that i can spray with and yesterday i was using a spray pole hide spray pull which worked out really well too so a spray pull gun extension they're both going to be effective tools for spraying stucco but as i'm climbing up here now that it's dry i can see light spots when the stucco is wet you can't see these light spots which are white because the previous color was white now i can see them and one of the benefits to doing you know a flat on stucco is you you won't see any type of flashing or anything or a sheen difference because you know you're flat on flat and flat paint is very forgiving on stucco but this project is cruising right along kind of like right on schedule but once again it's that just that willingness to you know adapt not get frustrated you know i came out here was originally going to just use that inner fed roller back roll this whole thing and just cruise right along with that and using multiple pulls but it was um it would have took me probably three times longer you know with the inner fed roller to actually do this project so this is going to be you know significantly faster spraying it but you want to ultimately give your customer you know the the best product and so if your back rolling or back brushing is necessary you definitely want to do that but they say once again i was blessed with painters that actually painted this before rolling at filling in on stucco the back rolling process what it does is it fills in all the little pinholes and stuff you know with the with the paint fills those in
