Hello, the stucco paint is elastomeric, it's like a "rubberized" paint
that is suppose to expand and have good capabilities in filling small
cracks. I wonder if it can be sprayed.

The can will tell you if you read it. *I'd guess not, but I don't have
the label to read...

I'd use one of the viny type products to replace the trim. You don't
need much, so cost isn't that much. And it will never rot again.

Bad parts of this.

- expensive...well I seem to recall something called Never Rot had a price
tag.

- If trim board is rotting, that's a nice warning that something is wrong.
Fix before rafter caps get damaged.

- If it was a no rot, rafter caps and worse, walls would be rotting and
everything would look fine from outside. Big $ by the time it shows up
inside.

Prime trim board front and back and on end after final cut.
Paint, including edges.
Always 45 cuts on lap joints. No butt joints.
Caulk overlaps and ends.
Must have drip edge overhanging trim, rakes and eaves.
Use galvanized nails
Inspect anually.

Gutters can cause havoc with trim if improperly installed.

Trim boards installed correctly won't rot.

Some of the fascia board around the garage are wasted (2x4 in size).

BTW, 2x4 for fascia boards??? Usually are 1-by-x.
1x4 small
1x6 nominal
1x8 large

Just my .02. I am a professional wanna-be :-)
