Thank you man I do stucco for a living and have done a bit of fog coats but in trash, I will say I enjoyed those jobs a lot so I’m looking to offer my services and do this line of work. I’m hoping to get good and this video helped a lot. It’s my color matching that sucks
I’m glad it helped. If you’re going to do this for a living, I suggest you start by buying a container and stashing different color packs in them. You never know what color house or what colors you would use to make a color match. Best of luck.
I’m working for CrownCo rn as a patch guy and I’m nervous about the fog coat. I see you just need a pallet of colors to work with at all times. To be able to match on sight. I was a lil nervous about it because I want to leave perfect results. This video really helped brother thank you for making this
Crownco huh? I know about that company all too well that you’ll be surprise 😂. This process takes some time in and practice. Wish you luck. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I’m a plaster-patch guy here in Colorado but I struggle with the fog part! It’s a lot harder than what most people can think.
I was surprise that there wasn’t much content about fog coating. Just trying to do my part in helping my fellow mud brothers and any homeowner that are curious about this. I hope this video helps.
Looks great! We are actually in Southern California as well and are having an issue with one of our projects. I was hoping that you could reach out so maybe I can get some advice on the issue we are having. Thanks for the video
I worked around the Riverside area. I am no longer doing any stucco work, but this video is an example of how I used to color match existing stucco. Some guys will say you can’t, but there is always a way. Thanks for watching.
I would like to use two different colors on my stucco exterior house, but I’m not able to find any examples. Can you make clear delineation between the two colors on the stucco house?
Will you be doing a repair or a re-stucco? It is not a bad idea to use up to three colors (moderately.) For example, if you’re doing a repair like I was here, a good idea is to go to the Home Depot and ask for a stucco color chart. It is a chart of stucco colors that LaHabra has to offer. You can take it home and scrape off a little stucco from your wall. Then match the closest color, a darker and lighter color to lighten or darken the color tint from your wall. I would go to a “building materials” since they have more color selection and stucco brands.
In addition, check the stucco base. For LaHabra, they use base 100 (white) for light colors and base 200 (gray) for darker colors. This is where you should start before anything else. The colors can very which you can mix any color to any base, but to achieve the color that is listed on the chart you must use the base in which it has been originally mixed in. I hope this helps.
Honestly, I have never tried it. I don’t think it’ll work, but that’s just me. The way to go is by mixing a color pack into the stucco as shown in this video. Good luck 👍🏽
I am tinting the stucco adding a color pack. HD or Lowe’s are limited in colors they have in stock. Your local material yard should offer more LaHabra colors and other brands with their colors as well. I apologize for not showing it on camera. Once I uploaded the video, the original video was made smaller and this happened😒. I’m still getting used to trying to get a good angle since I’m a one man show.
There’s many different kinds of finishes. Even “same” finish done with separate people can look different. Did he work in a shaded area? Did he put a brown coat and stucco in the same day?
@@odeliasimonec7236 I am asking because sometimes either the brown coat was to wet or the stucco is too wet to texture, thus troweling down the texture leaving it flatter than the rest of the house leaving a shinier look. This usually happens when there’s a shaded area or the stucco is too wet and the stucco guy doesn’t have patience to let the stucco dry before it’s ready for the texture to by apply. A cold day or rushing can be a factor as well.
