Our Homeowners Association is considering painting 3 midrise buildings. The
buildings are 3 stories above a parking garage. The exterior is stucco with
wood trim. Painting with elastomeric paint is considerably more expensive.
We are wondering if it is worth the extra cost. Does anyone have experience
with this type of paint?

I have had plently of experience-- The elastomeric is not really needed unless
uved had some water intrusion problem
The chief advantage with this coating is that it goes on 20 mills wet/ 12 mill
dry which is 7-8 times thicker than a regular film-- It adds weight to
surface--Its is highly flexible has tremendous elongation(ability to stretch).
You will probably do just fine with a 100% acrylic coating, the labor is
cheaper and the material savings is greater. The conventional paint will go
approx 250-300 square ft vs 60-100 for the elastomeric.

Thanks. We have had water intrusion problems. Most of these have been
related to improperly installed windows.

Talk to your local Ben Moore Dealer. For a job your size, Ben Moore will
give you an eight year warranty (your mom didn't do that).
I can't think of too many stucco buildings that wouldn't benefit from a good
elastomeric.

Watch out with elastomeric paints on stucco !
You risk to block the transport of humidity from the inside off the building
to the outside through the stucco. Resulting in humid interior walls, fungi
growing, mushrooms, ..., well after a while anyway.
With an acrylic paint, which "breathes", you won't have this problem.
Acrylic won't cost as much either and will probably be easier to apply.

If the existing substrate is sound, the elastometric will provide a longer,
more cost effective maintenance cycle for your Assoc. Email me with Questions.

if the substrate is sound then you don't need an elastomeric, its overkill- A
good sound substrate will hold quality 100% accrylic for many many years.
