Default Unpainted exterior stucco (after roof replacement)

Dan_Musicant wrote:
I had my roof replaced last November. There was around 40 feet of
stucco they removed and replaced (height of 8 inches) in order to
install the flashing where the roof met stuccoed vertical walls on
the second story. Some companies do a double layer of stucco, but my
contractor did one.

The contractor told me I should prime the new stucco after a month or
two. I did some research and evidently you use a special primer for
stucco. But people said you should paint after priming. So far, I've
done neither. Rains will start in a few weeks, maybe a month, maybe
longer I'm not ready to paint the whole house exterior (two story,
1925 square foot). Should I just prime and paint the unpainted stucco
anyway (use some innocuous color topcoat, water based) in the mean
time? Thanks for guidance.

I would say you have already waited too long.
