We are applying a new acrylic stucco finish over an existing acrylic finish coat to avoid ghosting and or bleeding. Unfortunately, you will see the old patchwork under your new finish if these rules or instructions are not followed.

We are applying a color coat over a color coat, so to avoid ghosting or bleeding, you must pay attention.
Young plasterers, you can watch this video and learn, or learn by going back and spending another day correcting the same job you just did due to not understanding this critical information in this step-by-step video.

My personal preferred Acrylic stucco is Stuc-O-Flex Elastomeric Acrylic Finish.
It's the top brand in the country. It can be applied over a basketball and bounced and still will stay on. the absolute best.

Notice we risked our lives applying this acrylic finish. The last thing we want is to go back and do it again, but this time for free.

Kirk your videos are great. One quick question. Can you apply a new coat of a La Habra color coat over an existing one just by hydrating the wall. Or do you have to apply bonding agent like Weldcrete before applying the new color coat to the existing color coat?

Also very glad to hear your suggestion regarding not painting over stucco. I have been reading up on this and there is a lot of conflicting information. I have determined that it is best in the long term not to apply a synthetic coating over stucco.

Kirk I don't think you know what you're talking about I KNOW you know what you're talking about. You're da'man with stucco. I don't even know how to do stucco but I've watched over 20 of your videos if not more so I'll be YouTube certified before long :-)

Hi Kirk,

I'm very glad I watched this video. I had no idea I could change the color of my house with a "color" coat of stucco. I am in the midst of a large DIY remodeling project, and part of the job will be to remove the rough finish in the front and replace it with the same kind of finish which surrounds the rest of the house. My wife calls the front finish "chunk monkey", and I know there's an industry standard for it, but I don't know what it is. Whatever it is, she doesn't like it, and therefore, neither do I. I'm sure you understand my reasoning here.

Be that as it may, my original plan was to strip the front of the house and re-stucco with a "knock down" finish, which is what is on the rest of the house. Then I was going to paint the whole house in a different color. However, there are a number of defects in the existing stucco, so if there is a way to repair those defects and apply a color coat with the color of our choosing, well, that is the best of all worlds. I get the idea that paint is not as long-lived as a color stucco finish. I was just unaware that you could apply a color coat over existing stucco.


Thanks, again, for your post!

Thanks for the video Kirk. I think I may have seen this in a previous video but can you go over painted stucco with a "maintenance free" Lahabra color coat, as long as you pressure wash and apply bonding agent first? Thanks /John

[jessicashuman]

Hi Kirk, can you tell me what you think about Allegro coating for rejuvenation of 10 year old stucco that has a lot of spalling? I am having a contractor do this for my home in New Mexico. He has quoted me $10, 000 for parapet repair and allegro coating of my 2400 square foot home. I am a single woman, no prior experience with this, sometimes I feel like contractors will take advantage. For comparison, he quoted $15, 000 for a full restucco. Thanks so much! Love your videos.

Thank you Kirk for sharing your expertise. My 70 year house is color coated (white) but this is stained ingrained black or red in some walls (maybe from pine trees). I do not want to paint. Is there any way to remove this or do I need to color coat over again? (Bleach not working)

[brianholland]

HI Kirk, I like the video and your description of " Maintenance free " . I have not seen all your vids yet but, Have You ever talked about Hexavalent Chromium which is in Portland cement ? Some people are more sensitive than others and once you have been bitten it can be a nightmare. M.S.D.S. is the way I learned about it.

[davidmccartney]

Hi kirk I am a plasterer from Glasgow scotland and I do a lot of pebble dash finishing. Is that something that's dine in the u s often.

[stevereilley]

Kirk.  I want to wish you the best with your treatment.  Ever since you indicated that juicing was helping you I've been wondering how you've been.  Based on some of your comments below I guess not so good?  Hang tough, my friend!!  Tough times never last but tough people do!!  Wishing you and your family all the best!!!!   Steve

I built a new concrete wall. Can I apply a color coat directly on the concrete or I should always use a brown base coat first?
