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?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good Morning Global Dude, good question, depends, if your existing finish is porous and your new is also then yes, these two will mechanically bond by suction, however your existing wall must be really clean as nothing adheres to dust, plus, I would advise you to hydrate the existing wall well, for a better bond.

***** Morning Juassicback, that kind of talk gets you into the bestest and bestest pal club. Actually if you have help that understands the process and have mastered the tools mixed with a general knowledge of what the heck needs to be done and why, it's not so hard at all in fact it's sort of fun, good sound health play a real role too, our trade day in and out, a fella requires 8 hours of deep real sleep with none of that tossin and turnin and worrying about goofy stuff that don't amount to nothing. Best wishes and thanks for the bone. kirk giordano Plastering

[@DavidTermini]

Thanks Kirk for the good info and show. I saw someone once plastering inside with colored plaster.Why I have no idea.Take Care, Dave,Frederick,MD

[@StuccoPlastering]

David Termini Evening Dr. Dave, I have applied color plaster inside many times. If you add colors to veneers they don't have to be painted, but man it's tough to clean the walls. I have applied colored stucco to a few ceilings as these will never have to be painted plus if you use imagination a person can create cool textures with color patterns. Also I have many friends in the plastering trade who have applied colored stucco to their walls, this is sort of goofy because if rub any part of your flesh on it as it's like sandpaper. Best wishes, and have a good evening. kirk giordano

[@jessicashuman1651]

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.

[@frankborik2816]

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. If you're interested in what I am doing, please check out my blog at [e-mail] Thanks, again, for your post!

[@StuccoPlastering]

Frank Borik Hi Frank, yes you can apply a color coat over a color coat, without a bonding agent. But the existing color coat maintenance free cementitious finish has to be pressure washed extremely well. Nothing adheres to a dusty or dirty surface, not for long anyway. This video explains just a bit of information on the subject. I have done a video with a color coat over a cementitious color coat too. But just so you know if you paint a wall with defects the paint will enhance those defects, however a color coat is 30 to 50 times thicker than paint, why? Because it has sand in it. But this sand in the color finishes usually covers even the bad defects in walls. To show the wosres case scenario of defects view the video below, which were blending in well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roHZnmh4itJoY5o Color coat stucco applications Best wishes, will view your masterpiece this evening. kirk giordano Plastering

I had to admit to myself I'm a stucco dude not a scholar. Have a groovy evening, kirk Giordano Plastering

[@johnwoolfrey5093]

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

Are you the fella across from where we did a sand color to the home and the fella painted the trim blue? Anyhow what cooking? kirk Giordano plastering

[@lilaclilac4450]

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)

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Nina, excellent question, best way is to wait for a rainy day, after 30 or more hours of constant rain, take your water hose and use full force with just the force of the water with a nozzle, most dirt should come right off. "the rain just keeps it wet, it will not clean it" If you get a bit wet, that's even more fun. Similar to washing a cooking pot with day old dried oatmeal, try to wash it after it set overnight it's a lot of work, allow this same pan sit with water in it overnight almost rinses clean the next day without scrubbing, using the same principal. Let a stucco wall also, presoak. Best wishes, kirk giordano plastering

[@jessicashuman1651]

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.

[@davidmccartney8398]

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.

[@StuccoPlastering]

david mccartney Hi David, real pebble dash is extremely rare, in fact it's so rare I cant even find any Durite, Cantebury Sper here, Thats the stuff that adheres so well to the brown coat as its made from calcined flint. You guys in Glasgow probably use it all the time. In 35 years I have only did a home once, I have seen a few homes that needed patchwork but had to decline as I couldn't find the proper aggregates. Almost forgot, yes, this finish is popular here in the U.S.. Best wishes, kirk giordano plastering

Very good vintenensy

[@EJConrad]

Do you know what is commonly used around pools?

[@StuccoPlastering]

EJConrad Hi Conrad, the base is usually shotcrete with additives, mostly portland cement, The finish coats are very similar to the acrylics used on homes ut are completely waterproof not water resistant, these products are similar to stucco-flex completely elastomeric, except specifically engineered for swimming pools. I would google swimming pools finishes, Best wishes, kirk Giordano Plastering

[@ethanc992]

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?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Dude, color coats will show any imperfections on the wall, it's best to skim first. Live long and plaster Giordano’s plastering images and teaching video’s

[@brianholland1243]

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.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Evening Brian, I have not heard of Hexavalent Chromium, however it surprises me not, as It's tough to get a real descriptions as to what is really in portland based cement plaster let alone gypsum based products that are additives. Thanks for the tip, kirk giordano plastering

[@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

[@StuccoPlastering]

stevereilley Hi Steve, thanks for the support dude. I started the Harvoni treatment yesterday, and today am actually feeling better already, but as the juicing went I felt better for awhile then the pains, fatigue and all the rest of the symptoms come back, so the fact that today I'm feeling better makes me uncertain if it's a placebo effect. The majority of my thoughts I keep a positive mental attitude, therefore I'm thinking and feeling I will be cured. Me, I'm easy, I'd take half the pain and fatigue and keep the hep c I would still consider the treatment a success. Kirk Giordano

[@tonyprezzato1219]

Kirk & Jason Giordanos DIY plastering and stucco tips Even though the symptoms came back with the juicing you got many great health benefits from the fruits and vegetables . You got vitamins and nutrients that are vital for health , so that had to be good ! Now you started the Harvoni treatment that has a success rate of 96% and you are feeling better already . That sounds great , keep the positive attitude , you got the Harvoni treatment for a reason ..... because this is GOING TO WORK !!!!

[@StuccoPlastering]

Hi Tony, I still juice daily with a juicer that actually keep all the enzymes, chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals, It's the norman walker, I am using all the resources available to rid this damned pain, and fatigue from my system.
