How to Paint a Stucco Patch so That It Blends With the Old Stucco
- 1). Remove the furniture from the room. Spread out tarps at the base of the wall that you're going to re-stucco.
- 2). Dull the area of the patch with a vibrating pad sander to get it flat and clean. Wipe off the dust.
- 3). Brush primer over the patched area, covering it completely but keeping it in a flat, thin coat. Let it dry overnight.
- 4). Apply stucco paint over the patched area with a brush. Lay it on as thickly as you can so that it still adheres to the wall (usually about 3/8-inch thick).
- 5). Use your rubber grout trowel to shape and form the stucco paint in the same way as the surrounding stucco is shaped. For swirl patterns, press the flat side of the trowel to the surface and turn it in a circle. For peaks, press the flat side of the trowel into the stucco and pull it straight out. For lines, press the long edge of the trowel into the stucco.
- 6). Let the stucco dry for 12 hours. Move the furniture back in.
