Hello,
I am looking for some advice on a stucco project. Currently my house has a rough-textured stucco exterior which has been painted (I can tell because it is quite old and some paint has already flaked off). See attached picture.
I'm not a fan of the rough texture. What I would like to do is smooth it out quite a bit and have it be white (so it would look kind of old world mission style with an imperfect smooth finish).
I'm new to this, and I know it is not the easiest DIY project, but I would like to learn how it can be done. I'm assuming that I need to remove the paint first. What would be the best way to do this? Could I then apply stucco on top of the old stucco? I found a product called LaHabra Santa Barbara Mission Finish (see attachment) which looks ideal because I wouldn't even need to paint it, although it looks like I would need to apply a stucco base coat first.
I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!
