Spraying Stucco Accents | Exterior Painting

What happens here

To effectively paint all parts of the textured stucco, especially from different perspectives, use a ladder. When spraying from a ladder, spray at a downward angle to catch any missed spots that might be visible when looking down from above (e.g., if a customer were installing Christmas lights). The presenter demonstrates climbing a Little Giant A-Force300 ladder and spraying the upper parts of the stucco around the garage door frame from a higher vantage point. Continue to use the paint shield as needed to prevent overspray on adjacent surfaces that are not being painted or will be painted a different color (like the garage door, which will be painted with a satin finish later).

Goal: Achieve complete coverage on upper stucco areas from a downward perspective

here so you might ask you know well you know why do you have to get on the ladder and spray look looking down well yo what if the customer was up here installing Christmas lights and your Stucker was white and now you painted it black and you're going to get up here now you're going to see you know white looking down on it that's an extreme example but um we've done drastic um color changes on stucko and it's really important to you know shoot downward looking at it cuz we're doing the house almost a similar color I chos a color I felt like was the actual color of the stucco original before it faded now I don't have to worry about the garage door cuz I'm going to be painting the garage door um this is flat it's a bare Dynasty and it's a self- priming paint could go right on the metal door we're going to be doing the metal door but we'll eventually be doing it with a satin Sheen so if I shoot it straight on like this now by shooting it straight on on if I stood literally right here I would be able to see the different color cuz all the um ins and outs highs and lows um Peaks and valleys you know creates these different angles so now instead of spraying it up and down straight forward I'm going to spray it sideways coming at a different just like that and I'm not going to spray it all at once I'm not going to do all the angles all at once I typically will shoot up and down go around let that dry and then I'm going to shoot a different angle let that dry shoot a different angle let that dry cuz as it dries you end up seeing the stuff you
