What happens here

With the highlight band masked, apply the lighter highlight color using a Graco Contractor II gun fitted with a Rack X 310 tip. Hold a cardboard shield below the highlight band to protect the lower section (e.g., rock work or ground) from overspray. Spray the highlight paint evenly across the exposed band. The technician emphasizes using a flat finish paint, such as Sherwin-Williams Super Paint Flat, to ensure the highlight texture matches the rest of the stucco and avoids an undesirable glossy look.

Goal: Apply the contrasting highlight color to the designated band.

What they say

Hide

Now, we've got our Stuckco masked off, our band here that we're going to be spraying our highlight color. And I'm going to be using a cardboard shield. I've got my Graco Contractor 2 gun with a Rack X 310 tip in it. I'm just going to be shielding the bottom and the top We're spraying our stucco with a super paint. Sure whims super paint flat so it looks just like stucco when it's done. We don't want to use a satin cuz we don't want our stucco shiny. For the sake of the video, I'm not wearing a respirator, but when you're actually spraying with an airless, it's a good idea if you wear a respirator while you're spraying. It's a little bit hard for me to talk for the video and use a respirator at the same time.
