Thank you so much for this! Single girl here with a 100 year old house in Los Angeles trying to paint my house. I appreciate this video so much.

i'm gonna give it a shot, and paint my house thanks to all your teachings.

Wonderful tips. Thank you

Thank you for the timely tips on painting stucco. I'm recently widowed so am downsizing to an older, smaller one-story stucco house. I'm going to attempt to paint the exterior, with my daughter's help, so have been searching for tips on what paints to use and how to achieve the best long-term results. I find your videos to be the most informative, so I wanted to thank you for taking the time to create and upload them.

Just wanted to say thanks for all of the wonderful tips you have it makes life easier for guys just starting out and needing advice

Thanks fellas👍🏽 Great video, quick, to the point, not a whole lot of unnecessary talking, and excellent tips. Finishing up my prep work and about to start painting my house in a few hours. Super confident after this video.

Hi. 30 yrs experience painting here and the proper way to paint exterior rough stucco is to spray your first coat and then spray and backroll the 2nd. That is the proper order and technique!

FROM SO. CALIF. Watching your tips is a fantastic way to be safe/stay at home. Short, sweet, and to the point! Thanks guys.

Thank you i learn a lot from your viedeos... thank you again God bless you. 🙏

Great job. Thanks for the video. I always watch your videos

Thanks Chris, good tips

Thank you for the education on how a quality painter should do this job.

Great advice. Thanks.

Hi guys. I just want to thank you so much for a tip I saw on a different video. I always had problems getting sharp, tight edges when painting detail or lines. Thanks to the AWESOME tip you guys showed and how to use caulking on the edges of the tape...I can paint like a pro now! Oh yes, I can! As you pointed out...removing the tape prior to the caulking and paint drying is paramount for this technique. That tip makes all my painting look clean, sharp and tight. Yay! Thanks again.

I'm an Arizona painter and a pro on stucco that's all we have beside brick. I like your vids 👍

Super informative, and helpful video! Thanks!

Great tips, I'm fixin to repaint my house. This will help alot. Thank you

Another great video! Thank you!!

Pretty good tricks we have always back rolled stucco down I would cross it out like a celling an have a hand come behind back rolling I have just sprayed it to though.

Great tips good job

great tips,thanks!

You were right Chris..... It looks like I may be doing a stucco job if I get the job....so thanks again for these tips because I thought Id never have to paont the stuff lol wish me luck!

God damn you boys make me want to get back in the game! I've been painting since I was 18 years old and it is truly an art form

Cool, great tips!

The way I was thought 27 years ago was the only way that stucco should be painted is sprayed and back rolled. Might be able to get away with it on sand finish but on rough surfaces they definitely should be rolled. I from Florida so almost every house has rough stucco.

Great tip on spraying the external corner :)

Great tips!

Thanks for sharing your experience, you guys are cool;)

This guy is AMAZING absolutely love the videos

South Florida we use satin and cross hatch and looks perfect, Sherwin Williams will flash all day. Benny Moore is fool proof. Love Paint Life!

Thanks for the vid.

Holy cow, great video, thx a lot!!!

Thanks for the video buddy!!!

Thank you Gentlemen so very much for such a GREAT JOB. I used to "FLIP" houses... I'm supposed to be retired (BAHAHAHA)... I'm 68 years old. Now... I'm selling my own house... and it has very THICK Stucco (the house is from 1966) and it is New Mexico Stucco... ... and EVERY house I have ever sold... I have painted it first... it makes a total difference. I know I'll save a ton of money doing it myself... (not my first rodeo) but the last time I painted Stucco a lot smoother stucco ... I did it with a very thick nappy rolling brush... This time I want to and need to do it with a Sprayer. Do you have to thin out your paint first? Thank you both for this great video

Thanx guys

Good stuff.

Great tips thank you sirs.

Back rolling is always done on all my jobs

Just used the Wagner 3500 today… absolutely love it. A little heavy when the vessel is full… but I broke my wrist three times, so it’s compromised.

Secrets!🤣🤣🤣 i like the secret of not back rolling too. But i love the kung foo sparying technic..

Nice bro"s thanks

Muy buena explicación

Awesome video .. masonry silicon, who knew ..

Great video Chris as always. You make we want to be a painter.

Back rolling it will definitely take care of any misses and adhere better. But awesome video

nice tips thanks

Outstanding tips; thanks as always!

Love the info. Thank you! 5:15 How did you not get overlap without stopping spraying before changing directions?

Nice

Nice.

a close up view of multiple tricks of the trade

Do y'all have a video on getting the Paint ready to spray? Would love to see that video. Thank you again

Dave Topeka Kansas...Capitol of Kansas..50 miles west of Kansas City....We don't have much Stucco houses here...But when I do I use Flat Paint and roll...Roll different ways...Also I only do repaint so I never use sprayers..I brush trim and roll body....New home construction I use sprayers...To much overspray in Kansas....Everyday is to windy...Good advice of the flat paint on Stucco.

Back roll is a must in every stucco job spraying is not enough.

Spray it backwards Good in one shot worked for me always!

yes but you forgot to mention that back rolling is the very best way,like your videos do

MUST BACK ROLL florida. And ELASTOMERIC PAINT works so good on sealing, I use on wooden exterior as well !@

Great video.! So do you spray , let it dry, then spray again?

Us guys here in Honolulu hawaii we always back roll stucco walls for more protection and longetivity of the house or building or elastomeric paint always, spraying only puts color not mill's thickness....

Spraying and backrolling ia the way to go especially when u got some warranty on the job it also gets into groves to seal paint on stucco surfaces

Great instructional video! I am getting ready to do some touching up on my stucco/exterior and have the toughest time finding a spray gun to use. What is that you have, or what do you recommend to use?

I roll on paint on rough stucco. But I wet it with water then roll on. The water seems to draw paint into the valleys and holes. I apply very thick then back roll after 10 minutes.

Back rolling is a must

Just a good tip "2 coats". 1 coat horizontal and 2nd coat vertical, but on 2nd coat also do it from the top down filling in any holidays you see..From 1st to 2nd coat paint would have dried exposing any holidays. If you learn to hit those you can give that stucco a real good natural look. I mean a good looking paint job know matter the color change.

Eso sí que estuvo bien chingon

Hey enjoy your videos and had a question . Can I use flat latex on my foundation but the only difference is that I’m using a roller and brush ?

Every use vinyl paint/sealant on stucco? It's popular here in Vancouver Canada and last a long time. Can spray and back roll with a bit of gloss and looks great.

Good shit boys Thanks

I want know about preparing paint in air spraying machine and the thickness of water paint because every time its stuck

Nice!! Hey Chris I just bought a High efficiency tip from titan, and haven't used it yet, but it's supposed to be 55% less overspray at 1000psi. It would be interesting if you made a video on it.

Oh my young man that are some great tips you given, is it though always a good thing to apply primer first on stucco then the paint? I generally use BEHR paints from home Depot & like using KILZ#3 primer when I do my inside painting so should primer be used first on my stucco home then paint?

Great job guys keep up the good work

That means on a 2 story its a good idea to have that ladder resting on and extending past "roof". You can see everything from that vantage point without ladder being in your way(use appropriate extension always).

Spray, backroll & spray. I have even gotten away with just spraying. Ill point the gun up then down then side to side at the end. Always spraying at a bit of an angle depending on how thick the texture is. Sprayed residential in AZ (5 years)and all over the country doing commercial now for the last 12 years. 26 years all together now.Hope that helps.

Sir, you said that flat paint is preferred but I live in Florida where its super humid and mold and mildew like to grow. I was told to use satin down here to help prevent the mold and mildew growth, and because it easier to clean. How do you feel about that? would satin be ok for me in this situation?

We always use an Elastomeric coating when painting stucco. It provides a flexible flim that covers hairline cracks to prevent water from penetrating into the building interiors.

I just always back roll all stucco jobs with a bigger nap that I keep in a bucket just a little watered down and I get a smoother finish.

Does the caulking need to set up before you paint? And let's say you just did a stucco patch. How long do you have to wait for that to set up before you apply paint?

These guys r the kings of painting

Any specific videos that show you painting meter box and conduits and wiring?

Can you show me how to spray stucco window trim pop outs?

Satin or semi gloss pills off your right about using flat only sadden or semi gloss can also bubble up

Does it last longer if you hand brushing or spraying paint for the exterior of a house?

I always back roll stucco

We use Loxon XP for painting stucco in Florida!

Here in the UK we would have ground that crack out first, then filled it with epoxy, then blended it in to match the existing surface finish.!!

What's the best paint for stucco? Do you need a primer before spraying paint?

Do you suggest priming stucco when re-painting?

Always wear protective eye goggles/glasses when spraying. That's critical to saving your eyes from any stray paint.

First off thank you for the videos you make. I remodeled my house and your painting videos helped me a lot. I have an Graco Airless paint gun and never have painted stucco before. Can I paint the stucco without back rolling it? The house was built in the 80s and used rough stucco. What would you recommend that I do to paint? Also I live in Florida, humidity here is high. Thank you for any info you can give me.

I’ve patched up cracks on the walls of my stucco house and have yet to paint it. I’ve used SW 1050QD caulk. Will this flash after two coats of emerald paint?

What type of paint do you recommend using on stucco?

cool man. im subscribing :)

Hey Chris. Thanks for the video. If you have a couple small peaks with cement tiled roof (Flat tile) do you use the memory foam to walk on so the tiles are protected from breakage? Thanks Mike G.
