Question Hi! I've been hired to paint an outdoor mural on a freshly stucco'd building and would like to know what you'd recommend to use for paints for longevity. (I usually work in acrylics and am wondering if that medium is applicable for this type of surface.) thanks.
Answer Kelly,
I would not know the products available in Canada.
In the UK we use Acrylic masonry paints as the longest wearing products.
However I have supplied all sorts of other materials for murals and then generally glazed them with an external acrylic glaze in either gloss, eggshell or matt.
