can you stucco over painted cement?
it wont stick. i havent done much stucco though, just some repairs.
The paint store sells gigantic fluffy roller covers and tremendous yellow foam rollers which are made notably for painting texture. Stucco is the perfect opportunity to do some glazing. Paint the wall with a semigloss colour of your alternative. Then mix a glaze within the same tone however somewhat darker. Combine some tint into a quart of clear semi gloss. Brush it on with a four chip brush in small areas and smudge the perimeters somewhat with a rag. 2 passes will make it appear first-class.
Its true, your stucco may stick for a while but its not the proper way to do it... Your stucco will start to fall off and chip within months.. and getting paint off of concrete can be a task, you can etch the paint off.. which the chemical is so harsh if it touches your skin it will burn you.. in your eyes blind you. There are strippers you can use that are slightly less harsh. Regardless its a task to strip paint from concrete, sometimes taking days to get it all off. If you do decide to take the paint off, and you are using acids or chemicals you have to be careful... wear the proper safety gear. eye protection and the whole lot. If you know someone with a blaster, it may cost a bit.. but sand blasting is probably the quickest way. Sorry wasnt a bigger help :)
The paint will not make a good substrate for the stucco and there is a chance that either the stucco will not properly bond to the paint, or the paint will delaminate under the stucco in the future. Would be better to have the paint blasted off the concrete first.
you would have to use a scutching tool to roughen the surface first
