Repairing and Prepping Stucco for Airless Spraying

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter, "the Idaho Painter," introduces the project: pressure washing a large commercial stucco building to prepare it for repainting and repairs. He highlights the need for a repaint as the building has been painted before. He then showcases essential tools for pressure washing, including a six-foot extension wand to reach high areas without ladders, two pressure washer guns (one with a spray flex attachment for angled spraying), and different nozzles. He emphasizes the use of a rotating tip for most cleaning, which agitates and cleans better than a straight shot nozzle, and a straight red tip for reaching very high spots. He also mentions his pressure washer is a Mighty M 3500 PSI model.
