I'll be soon painting the exterior of my house. The house is mostly
stucco with some lap siding. It's a single story house. I own a pretty
good sprayer. Here are some questions I have:

Some of the fascia board around the garage are wasted (2x4 in size). I
want to replace them. What do I buy at say Home Depot to do this?
Redwood? Or?? The other fascia that's in better condition I was going
to sand down with say 80 grit, then prime and paint.

How do I spray the very high areas without having to move the ladder a
million times? I have a sprayer extension, but that's for ceilings.
Anything I should use?

Typically I plan on powering wash the exterior a couple days before,
do some prep work and then start from the top eves and work down.

I have a garage door that's sectional. What's the trick to painting
those?

Last, since the house is part stucco, do I have to use stucco paint on
the stucco and then switch over to standard exterior for the lap
siding?

Thanks guys!

Use pine for the trim, yes move the ladder it goes fast, Stucco
paint, it must be a new marketing gimmic, just use good exterior latex
and dont paint in sun or on a hot surface.

Hello, the stucco paint is elastomeric, it's like a "rubberized" paint
that is suppose to expand and have good capabilities in filling small
cracks. I wonder if it can be sprayed.

The can will tell you if you read it. I'd guess not, but I don't have
the label to read...

I'd use one of the viny type products to replace the trim. You don't
need much, so cost isn't that much. And it will never rot again.
