Apply a color coat finish within a color coat finish
Howdy guys and gals, this video explains how to repair a color coat window patch within a color coated wall. The process involved first applying the same color finish over the patch and allowing this patch to dry. Then you apply a new color finish over the complete wall with the desired texture. (CORNER TO CORNER) Guys and gals if there was an easier way in the 30 years I have been in this trade I would know it. Can this patch be fogged in? NO WAY. Not even with 10 passes with a fog coat. Besides after a third pass with a fog coat the area becomes very powdery with excess color build up that it flakes off by wind, rain or simply by touching it.
Fog coats are for removing scaffold joints on small or very large walls where scaffold and hot weather mixed with many applicators dry leaving various shades of on even color.
This entire wall could also be painted but then a person would lose the maintenance free properties that come with cementitious color coats. Like a brick when it gets wet, it darkens dramatically, the same applies to cementitious color finishes they darken which give them the maintenance fee qualities.
This process takes time in to learn how to do properly. I have learned well by my failures early on in my career of being a plastering contractor.

How good can this guy be when his scaffold is not safe or per OSHA guidelines. If he does not take safety of his crew what is he going to do on your house.

Thanks for the tip kirt, however, six footer with extensions are acceptable in our industry, other wise I would not be able to purchase them from the material yards.
thanks for noticing.

@kurtg1969 You can't judge the quality of someones work based on their safety practices. The finish looks like it matches perfectly from what I can see in the video. So to answer your question I would say he is great.
Thanks you for that observation. I do however practice safety, because I will be the one hurt and out of business If I don't use common sense towards safety.
Have a great day!
