Prep ext stucco/plaster for paint?
New house with stained and faded smooth stucco/plaster, needs paint. Simple pressure wash and go? Job is less than 3 yrs old but gets lots of sun(now looks bad). Also any favorites on flat ext paint? Benjamin Moore vs Frazee duracoat? Thanks!

Pressure washing should be fine - just don't use too much pressure. If the existing paint is chalky [and the chalk doesn't wash off] add some emulsa bond to the 1st coat of latex paint.
I'm not familiar with Frazee's coatings and don't use a lot of BM although their mid to top line latex house paints should preform fine. Generally any quality latex house paint will do a good job. Most masonry paints are of a lesser quality.

Quality Latex paint choice?
Any particular favorites among the latex paints ? I've got most of the biggies' nearby - Dunn Edwards, Frazee, and Benjamin Moore.
Thanks!

As long as it's one of their better latex house paints - it should do fine. I mostly use SWP but that's more because of store hours and locations. With SWP I'd use their super paint although their A-100 would do a good job also.
