I am turning a porch that was originally part of the outside wall of the
house, into an interior room. I want to make the two walls that are now
stucco, look smoother. Does not have to be drywall smooth, maybe kind of a
venetian plaster look. Any ideas how I would do this?

Thanks,

Several skim coats of stucco mix, applied over a few days would make
the two walls smooth.

I can't speak, if the walls are painted or how the skim coats would
stick on painted stucco.

Are the exterior walls a heavy knock down texture?


Oren,

Is there such a thing as a layers of stucco that are too thin? I plan
on skimming with about a quarter inch on the exterior.
