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.
