Painting Stucco. Adding accent colors to stucco trim.
What happens here
After the body color has dried, prepare the stucco surface for the highlight band by masking the areas you wish to protect from the highlight color. Use a 3M hand masker loaded with 1-inch 20/20 masking tape and 9-inch masking paper. Apply the tape along the precise line where the highlight band will begin, ensuring a crisp, straight edge. Attach the masking paper to the tape, allowing it to cover the upper stucco body color area completely. The technician recommends masking from right to left for easier application.
Goal: Create a clean, sharp boundary for the highlight band.
