Stucco Siding: Repairing Stained or Weathered Stucco
Though stucco is a very tough surface, it can look weathered and dirty over time. But unlike other siding materials, you shouldn’t use ordinary house paint to paint stucco because the walls need to “breathe.” Otherwise, interior moisture can get behind the paint and cause it to blister or peel.
Instead, have the wall “redashed” by a stucco contractor. If your stucco is white, a simpler (though more temporary) solution is to have it whitewashed with a mixture of water and white Portland cement. It’s best to have this done by a professional painter or stucco contractor.
