Looking to educate myself on painting new stucco. Long story short I had to completely re-stucco one wall of my house due to structural upgrades. The stucco is heavily textured and there are quite a few fine cracks in the stucco now that it cured. The stucco will need to be color matched to the remaining (white) stucco walls. The abundance of cracks tells me that good waterproof paint will be critical.

The guy who did the stucco work is suggesting Dunn edwards elastomeric primer followed by a paint top coat of my choice.

Talking to others who had work done in my area, Behr primer followed by elastomeric behr paint was suggested

The painter who will likely be doing the work is suggesting a stucco sealer, followed by regular primer followed by elastomeric paint of my choice

I have heard stuc-o-flex mentioned as well

Would love to get some additional feedback from the experts
