All,

I was out talking to my neighbor tonight (he's a concrete contractor)
about
painting my stucco. I told him I was going to "paint" the stucco the same
color etc. He asked me, "why don't you just fog it?" He says that
"fogging" is just using the colorant to "stain" the existing stucco. We
looked over the house and I think (he agrees) that I just need a corner or
two touched up before painting/staining. The rest of the house is in
"very
good" stucco condition. But I'm perplexed.

Until tonight I'd never heard of just spraying the colorant over the
stucco.
Have any of you heard of this? Tried it? What is your experience. He
claims that once you paint the stucco that it will forever require
additional paint, but that the colorant just stains the existing stucco
and
actually you can change the color every few years if you want.

I will say that he just did his house and it looks great. Again have any
of
you had experience with this?????????

Thanks,

DJay

After reading the supplied tech bulletin. It sounds to me like your going to
have to hire the fog to be done. You can do the painting yourself.

Painting stucco is done every day in the Southwest, specifically Phoenix.
Yes paint on stucco fades eventually. New homes ( over green stucco ) need
painted again in 3-5 years, and then about every 10 or so after that.
