What changes in Los Angeles.
Stucco is its own surface
Original stucco and smooth-coat need cracks patched and a coating that lets the wall breathe, not just a new color.
Wood and metal, prepped apart
Wood trim is sanded and primed. Metal rails and gates get rust treated before the topcoat.
South and west walls first
Walls that face the afternoon sun fade and chalk first, so the coating is chosen for the exposure.
