Painting Stucco & Repairing Cracks With Caulking & Elastomeric Paint

What happens here

When spraying the elastomeric coating, move the spray gun extremely slowly across the stucco surface. The goal is to apply the paint at about 20 mils thick to ensure sufficient build-up for the product to effectively span hairline cracks and create a flexible seal. The slow speed ensures proper mill thickness, which is crucial for the paint's performance. Use a Kraft cardboard shield holder and a 20-inch gun extension for easier reach and control.

Goal: Spray elastomeric paint onto the stucco with sufficient thickness to cover and seal cracks.

What they say

Hide

on it. Try to give you a close look of how thick it is on here. Spray it on extremely thick. You go a lot slower than you typically would with a regular airless spray and spraying regular paint. So you get a really good thick mill thickness. Stuff supposed to go on 20 ms thick. So, some of the key points while you're spraying this stuff, just make sure you go extremely slow. So, you can watch in the video, watch us spraying it. We're going probably twice as slow as we typically would on a regular house because you got to get that buildup on the stucco. So, the last America will get on there thick enough to the proper mill thickness and do its job of spanning the gaps of those hairline cracks and basically creating a nice flexible rubber seal that will span those uh cracks because they'll actually expand and contract over the winter time versus summertime. those cracks will get bigger and smaller and that elasame coating will flex and and not actually snap and break if applied properly over those cracks and you won't see them again. Here's a look at the side. We've already sprayed this side and I've inspected it for cracks and you can't see any of the cracks anymore on the side of the house whatsoever. They're covered 100%.
