Painting stucco is like painting a cement sponge. Which is why it holds
moisture and the paint doesn't last.

Very simple.

What is your definition of "long"?

I have a room that was added on 12 yrs ago, which is stuccoed and the
original paint still looks fine.

Hey Ron.

Look above at my response above and these links. I'm tired of bickering. I
just know I'm somewhat correct from seeing 1000's of stucco houses in
Central and Southern NM and observing them for several years.

Most educated people, where I lived, knew not to paint stucco. Don't get
riled. Look at the links and then make a decision for yourself.
