stucco roll or spray?
Were going to be painting our house which is stuccoed my question is
which would be better? should i use a brush and roller or a paint sprayer? and if i do use a sprayer would i be better off buying one from hd or renting one my budget will only allow me to spend $300.00 for one which is the max dx model is this a good model or would i save time money and frustration by renting? the house is small enough to be sprayed in one day. |

I have sprayed stucco several times. I would not even consider rolling it. Rent or buy is your choice. How much painting are you planning on doing in the future? Airless sprayers work well for big areas. Inside the mist goes everywhere. Outside you need to be careful of your neighbors cars if there is any wind. Inside complete and total masking is necessary. Getting used to the sprayer and what it is for is a primary concern. The orifice in the gun will let X amount of paint through given a specific paint. I use 1 gallon of clean filtered water to 5 of latex stucco paint. Helps keep the paint flowing in the sprayer. I do 3 passes on everything, up-down, side to side, then diagonal. My painting procedures work for me. |

When we painted our stucco a while back when house was new I figured a sprayer would make it duck soup so I bought one. Sprayed wonderfully but it took so much time to mask soffits, windows, etc. that I switched to a power roller, loooooong nap. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Spray can travel 100ft even with what you may feel is no wind. Ive
sprayed alot and have had to clean a few cars. If neighbors are next door be carefull and be sure nothing is downwind. You can rent, but if it is to windy you cant spray if something is down wind. Use a handheld paint shield, and mask and tape. spraying is easy, its the prep. ruin a neighbors car and its trouble. |

We borrowed a neighbors..3/4 HP Campbell Hausfield. Put the input hose
right into the 5 gal pails and sprayed away. Used 120 gallons of paint inside and out. Worked great.

120 gallons good lord thats alot of paint I was thinking 10-15 gallons
on the ext. 25'x75' 1 story house. Our place in AZ was 120' wide and averaged 20-25 feet deep. Total distance around foundation was over 300' lin. Ext. walls upto 20' high..A very large exterior. It had an attached 3.5 car 1450 sf. garage w/ 9' ceiling. Total 5000 sf under roof. I sprayed a coat of stucco seal on the whole place.. IIRC, that alone took 7 - 8 5 gal pails. Then a coat of stucco paint. Inside and in garage, I did 2 coats of PVA drywall primer, then a coat of interior acrylic latex throughout. After that, I had a lot of empty 5 gallon pails..the neighbors were asking for them for years G BTW, after 4 years in the AZ sun, a bobcat whacked a chunk of my stucco & underlying Styrofoam SM board on the south (sun) facing side of the house.. After I patched and retextured the stucco, I painted the patch. I was surprised to find that after it dried, the patch blended in so well, it couldnt be seen- the original paint hadn't faded enough to make the patch noticeable..That was good paint. R |
