Painting Stucco. Adding accent colors to stucco trim.

What happens here

Begin by applying the base body color to the stucco surface using an airless paint sprayer. The presenter specifies using Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Flat, which he notes is suitable for exterior stucco. Windows and other areas that should not be painted should already be protected with masking plastic or film. For previously painted stucco, back-rolling after spraying is often unnecessary, allowing for a quicker application. Set the airless sprayer to approximately 2200 PSI and use a Graco Rack X 515 tip for broad coverage.

Goal: Cover the main stucco surface with the base body color.

I'm using a Rack X 515 tip and spraying this. Got my pressure set at 2200 PSI. And when you're actually when I'm actually spraying, do you stand back so you can see the whole thing spraying? You don't close spraying. The stuckle's actually been painted before, so we don't have to back roll it. We're just spraying it. We're just going to be working our way down the line. We're going to work our way all the way around the building and that'll take about an hour to two hours and then we're going to come back and get a mask from here up and then we're going to spray our highlight.
