Painting Exterior EIFS Home / Spray Gun Setup


Guys,

I have to repaint an EIFS home, which has a textured acrylic based product. Can you recommend a product from the SW line that work?

I was thinking Scholastic Electrometric Coating. But I don’t think it’s an acrylic based product? (Does it matter)?


Also, I’ve always Used Brush & Roller and currently in the process of investing in a Binks Conventional painting rig. Pressure pot & gun.

Any pros and cons on this setup?

Rich



Data Sheet says Airless spray, is this considered an Airless spray setup?

Meaning, it shouldn't matter.

Any pros and cons on this setup? this is called a conventional spray gun.IT IS NOT AN AIRLESS ...google titan airless or graco airless they are the two big shooters for airless equipment.

an airless should put paint on faster with less overspray.

It mentions that this coating is breathable, EIFS coatings are supposed to be non breathing systems. No moistures or vapors to enter.

Does anyone see a problem with this?

It's a waterproof product. Breathability is necessary though.

Depends on what you want. If you just want a color change. Just put on A100 or Superpaint. If you want a waterproof system. You need to use Sherlastic or Conflex.

So you are you saying that I can use a latex top coat and not compromise the the current properties of the system?
