If you
choose water-based paint, one with pure acrylic binder designed
for exterior paint has advantages over vinyl acetate copolymer
based formulations. The first is adhesion in wet weather
conditions where resistance to peeling and blistering are
important. Acrylic water-based paints are also more water
resistant which gives them the advantage of absorbing less
water and drying more quickly, which minimises dirt collection
and fungal or algal growth. Finally, a resistance to alkalinity
in materials like fresh masonry means colour applied to
fresh stucco, concrete, and brick will fade more slowly
and be more resistant to deterioration if there is water
infiltration.
