Painting stucco with a roller?
I have been told they do have available paint rollers that are intended for stucco.
Has anyone used one of these? Are they effective or would you do something else. My original intention was/is to use a 4 inch wide brush....and that will be a lotta strokes to do the back wall of our lanai/pool area. We are making the walls a complimentary color to the pool surface area. Any other tips will be much appreciated. (I know I can get someone to do it but I like to do as much as I am capable of doing around the house). btk Last edited by billethkid; 04-30-2013 at 09:15 AM. Reason: sp |

That is how the stucco homes are painted originally. Why not go to the new construction area and ask a painting contractor.

My husband has painted several exterior stucco homes. He said to use an inch and a quarter (1 1/4") nap roller. Works great.

Your local paint store should be able to provide professional advice on which roller to use. Rolling paint on is much better than spraying.

Why don't they use an integral color stucco coat instead of paint - stucco in CA with the integral coat is hardly ever painted.

It's cheaper to use gray (portland) stucco and paint.

A roller works well. Think about using Loxon XP Waterproofing System A24 Series (Sherwin Williams) or some similar paint with elasticity to cover small cracks and imperfections. It's also inhibits mildew on the surface. The area to be painted should be power washed first and any cracks should be properly filled before applying the paint.

Elastomeric has a 15 year warranty when applied according to factory specs.
