How to Paint an Interior Stucco Wall

A stucco interior wall, much like any type of wall, can be painted to change the look and color of a room. This is an effective way to add personalization. Stucco is a siding mixture which, once dry, leaves a rough and texturized surface. Before painting your interior stucco wall, you must properly prepare the surface to ensure a successful paint job. Painting an interior stucco wall can be done without the aid of a painting professional, as approaching the task yourself can save you money.
