Stucco Exterior Painting

Stucco Painting

Repair or replace any damaged surfaces, whether wood, stucco, masonry or metal. Wash off all surfaces. Use a high-pressure water sprayer (available to rent) to reduce labor. Make sure that surfaces dry thoroughly.

Use sandpaper or a paint scraper to remove any loose, cracked, chipping or blistered paint – down to raw surfaces if necessary. Use a small drop cloth as you go to catch loose bits of paint and debris. If you decide the exterior needs to be sandblasted, hire licensed professional painting colors.

Patch all nail or screw holes, gouges and cracks paint in colors. Caulk such places as seams and corners, above door and window trim, and where trim meets siding – or where any material meets a different kind of material, such as trim over masonry. (Exception: Don’t use caulk where siding or shingles overlap or between shingles.) Use high-grade exterior caulk. Better caulks (such as silicone) actually bond to surfaces like glue and resist breaking down.

Remove or cover all light fixtures, plumbing outlets, electrical covers and house numbers. Remove all screens. You don’t want to get paint on them; it’s difficult (or impossible) to remove.

Use drop cloths to cover everything you don’t want to paint, such as plants, walkways, cars and your neighbors’ property. Apply primer over all raw surfaces. Note that different surfaces – paint, metal, wood, stucco – require different primers.

Allow the primer to dry, and then apply at least two coats of exterior paint. The best way to paint stucco homes is to let each coat dry between applications according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
