What is better to paint my stucco with, 100% Acrylic Or Elastomeric?
First, you must understand the difference between 100%Acrylic and Elastomeric. 100% Acrylic paint adds Protection from the sun and weather and breaths(permeable). Elastomeric bridges cracks, resists water,and waterproofs the surface. Elastomeric is not as breathable so it can trap moisture especially if not applied properly.We do not recommend elastomeric paint on all projects. When the walls are adobe, the foundation allows water to wick up and pop off the elastomeric.There are many different lines of elastomeric and 100% acrylic. When you see a paint that claims to be 100% acrylic it does not mean it is a high quality paint. The acrylic resins are either an extremely good quality such as Sherwin Williams “Super Paint” or Dunn Edwards “Permasheen” or Kwal Paint’s “Ambassador” or a much lower grade and all three stores sell high and low grade 100% acrylic paint.
