What is Stucco Painting?

Stucco painting involves applying paint or elastomeric coatings to exterior stucco surfaces, which are made from cement, sand, and lime. Stucco is porous and prone to cracking, so proper preparation includes cleaning, crack repair with elastomeric caulk, and priming with a masonry primer. Elastomeric paints are often specified for stucco because their flexibility bridges hairline cracks and provides superior waterproofing compared to standard exterior paints.
