Look for stains, checking, peeling, and physical damage. Identify dirt, debris, or contamination that must be removed. Material between the surface and the next coating can interfere with adhesion and contribute to later peeling.
Remove all loose paint, including adjacent areas that have detached but have not yet fallen away.
Is the surface Level 5 smooth, knockdown, orange peel, or skip trowel? Note the heaviness of the texture. This first question guides roller selection and how closely application texture will show in the finished work.
Neither a conditioner nor a primer turns loose paint or unstable stucco into a reliable substrate.
For light sand-finish stucco, comparable in texture to orange peel, I typically use a 1/2-3/4-inch nap.
If inspection finds peeling, loss of adhesion, water damage, or another failing condition, address that problem before applying these corrective coats.
