Building Homes or Extensions/Drivet

Question
My stucco home was covered with drivet about 30 years ago.  It is cleaned periodically with a solution of water and bleach.  It now looks as though it could use a  paint job.  Can you tell me if I can or cannot paint over this material and if so what product and preparation should I use.  Thank you.  Mr Gubitosa

Answer
Hi Anthony. It can be painted just like anything else..you need a good primer applied to a clean and dry surface followed by a good paint..go to your local sherwinn williams store if you have one available or any branded paint outlet and get matching primer and exterior paint..
