Stucco patching compound is formulated to bond to existing stucco and handle outdoor weathering. Regular drywall joint compound will crack and fail on stucco. Always use stucco-specific products for durability.
For hairline cracks under ¼ inch, you can skip mesh and use patching compound alone. For cracks wider than ¼ inch or larger patches, fiberglass mesh reinforcement prevents the patch from cracking again.
You can paint over repairs once fully cured (usually 7 days). If you want a seamless look that matches existing stucco texture, a colored stucco finish coat blends better than paint, but adds to materials cost.
