One thing about painting very rough stucco/pebbledash. Thin teh first
coat at least so it splashes into the cracks. Otherwise its hell to get
an even finish,

Did my 'tyrolean stucco' garage with sandtex, and that worked a treat
with a pole and big roller.

A paininnabum-numero_uno. Use a long haired plasterers brush too. Or
consider hiring a sprayer.

Check the gutters etc., first. The scratch coat usually contains a
waterproofing mix. The second coat is the one that the pebbles are
dashed at. The three extra layers of wall make it quite weatherproof.
Pebble dash even cuts down the wind speed of air in or near contact with
the wall and of course the pebble dash is a natural shedder of rain.

It is a very good finish for an house. It ages gracefuly too.
