we are building a single-family house with 280 sqm (3,014 sq ft) of exterior surface, and now we need a plasterer and possibly a painter.
Apparently, it is possible to apply the final layer of exterior plaster already tinted. Of course, this comes at an additional cost.
The painter naturally recommends having the house painted, as the paint would protect the plaster and make it more durable.
As a layperson, I am not sure whether tinted plaster alone is sufficient!
The house is only supposed to be painted white, so nothing special, and if this can save money, that would be helpful.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks for your answers

Hello,
our plaster is already tinted white, so we don’t need to paint over it again, and there won’t be any additional costs.
If we want colored plaster (i.e., fully pigmented), it would cost us an extra approximately 2,000 euros.
You would need to check which color the plaster already has on your side and what the painter’s costs would be.
Best regards,
Julia

Hello, I am facing the same decision: to paint or not to paint? We want a very light beige-white color. Our construction manager advised us to apply a coat of paint because plain plaster cannot be repainted if it gets dirty, at least not without it being noticeable. How are you handling this, painting or not?

The first plaster layer already consists of a colored render; to achieve a uniform color later, a so-called leveling coat is necessary. So your construction manager is right with his recommendation, even if I don’t quite understand the exact reason behind it... perhaps he means a fungicide/algaecide coat?
