The consensus among people with *experience* seems to be DON'T PAINT
STUCCO.
If it's exterior. It's going to get wet. If you paint it you can't recoat.
The cost of recoating isn't that much more than repainting AND you can
hire
someone to do it. So get a case of beer and watch. If you paint you're
much
too likely to do it yourself. Plus the recoat looks better and lasts
longer.
It's a no brainier.


I live in a 55 year old painted stucco house. There is zero problem with
paint adhesion and zero problems with mold.

The wood trim however is a real bitch to paint as it is always peeling so it
requires a lot of prep work.
