Honestly, I think everyone's wrong about painting over old stucco

Tbh, my house near UNM looked way worse after a fresh coat last spring because the contractor didn't fix the hairline cracks first. Now I've got these weird dark lines showing through after just one winter. Anyone else have this happen and know a good fix?

Dark lines after one winter" sounds like a big deal, but is it really?

It can be a huge deal, @henry604, depending on what it is. Gray6 has a point. If it's about a car, it's just cosmetic stress. But if those dark lines are a metaphor, man, that hits different. One rough season can leave a real mark that isn't easy to buff out. It's not something to just brush off.

Depends if you're talking about your car's paint or your mental health.
