Stucco finish on aluminum panels

Matthew's paint has a sand texture or something like that as an additive. I haven't actually used it, but I think it looked similar to a drivit finish.

 

Spray it.

You can try to get synthetic stucco, load up a broom and fling it at the panel.

 

Go to your favorite truck place and have them spray it with Line-X

 

Might work on a flat surface, but ya might wanna check out how it will hold up vertically.

Smalts might be a possibility.​

 

GO TO YOUR LOCAL PAINT STORE, AND ASK FOR THEIR TEXTURE ADDITIVE. MIX WITH EXTERIOR ACRYLIC LATEX PAINT, AND SPRAY WITH HOPPER GUN. SAME GUN YOU WOULD SPRAY ON TEXTURED CEILINGS. HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS.
WORKS GREAT, AND LAST FOR EVER.

 

IMO its crap. You have to spray whatever you use or you wont get what you want

 

It's just Dryvit sprayed with a Stucco sprayer out of a hopper.

 

medium texture Montex. Our local sign supply shops stock it. Water based, sticks like mad, topcoat it with flat latex paint and looks great. We shoot it out of a drywall texture hopper. I would prime raw aluminum prior but if you scuff the white finish on dibond it sticks just fine.

 

Alumet Supply (Wieland Metal Services) offers aluminum sheets with the bumpy finish. They call it "textured" or "embossed".
