hey Donna,
some folks will question why you want to take a maintenance free surface and
put a finish on it that has to be maintained...
also, I'm under the impression that you have to be careful when painting a
porous material like stucco, because moisture can migrate thru it and
blister the paint off later (from underneath)....
