This is cool!

Hi Germain, We don't like acrylic because it feels plastic, it looks plastic and there is no way to get the beautiful mottled finish you saw in our project or the textures we prefer. It is also hard to get the rich, deep, earthy tones we prefer for our work. We generally try not to use anything that forms a thin film, like the final coat of acrylic plaster, or paint, or varnish, or anything that is not integral to the material or deeply penetrating - to avoid the maintenance that comes over time with films that fail - ie. peeling paint, crackled, sealants, and polymer finishes. If cement stucco is properly applied, per our spec that I sent you earlier, there is minimal, if any cracking. It comes in a rich variety of standard colors as well as can be custom colored to anything we want, and you can get that beautiful mottled coloring that you commented on that allows a building to age more gracefully than when it is acrylic or painted and just starts to look dirty rather than develop a nice patina. Here is a simple comparison you might find interesting. https://thestuccoguy.com/acrylic-stucco-vs-traditional-stucco/. Good luck with your project, Cathi House

Notes on textured and integral stucco

The colors are from Dryvit (integrally colored stucco, not paint). I think they are Iron Mountain, Smoke Signal (+60%), and Mountain Fog. - Mark.

This handsome and powerful cladding has gained global appeal, with the treatment being applied to a wide variety of wood. While any species can be charred, the resulting appearance will vary. A softwood, like the Japanese sugi (cypress), has prominent growth rings that result in a highly textured surface, whereas charring hardwood leads to an evenly blackened surface.

The scorched wood is then doused with water and brushed to remove the charcoal dust, revealing a slightly silver sheen.
