Painting Stucco. Adding accent colors to stucco trim.

What happens here

Inspect the stucco surface of the highlight band for any 'dings and nicks' or other imperfections. Apply a vinyl stucco patch to these areas to create a smooth and even surface for the highlight paint. Use a putty knife or spreader to apply and smooth the patch. Allow the patch to dry completely according to manufacturer instructions before proceeding to painting. The masking tape from the previous step should already be in place.

Goal: Prepare the stucco surface by patching imperfections for a smooth highlight finish.

Tools and materials

  • Putty Knife / Spreader — Applying and smoothing the stucco patch
  • Vinyl Stucco Patch — Filling in dings, nicks, and other imperfections in the stucco
