twistedfocus1647545489 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Mine is painted and seems to have held up fine for ~4 years at least. Too bad mine looks like ass, but that's just because the guy that owned the house painted it a color that doesn't match the rest of the house.

Twistedrx7 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think what you are referring to is that fact it wont last as long as mixing the paint with the stucco on new construction. You can paint the stucco without a problem as everyone else has said. Parents are doing it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Paints have come a long way over the last decade. If your worried about peeling or blistering you can add emulsabond with the paint. Some paints even come fortified with it already. Keep in mind that most paint warranties are for blistering or fading only so you want to check the fading warranty. IMHO painted stucco looks betterfor longer than the colored stucco alone. As you paint stucco the paint fills in alot of the natural almost micrscopic holes in stucco where dirt tends to collect overtime making it look old. Add to that fading and you have stucco that needs attention from a visual standpoint and often structural. Keep in mind that while mit looks great after initially painting, at some point it will need painted again, that could be 30 years or that could be 5. Depends on the prep before painting , the structural integrity of the stucco and the materials its created with(procedure used to attach it), and the paint used. I painted homes 15 years ago that I happen to see while I am out driving that still look good to this day but thats all prep and paint quality.
