Citypro Construction specialize in Synthetic finishes are a lot like acrylic finishes and are even made up of acrylic, in most cases just like acrylic finishes are. Synthetic finishes are typically used more in EIFS systems and are designed to keep water from entering the wall so they do have a little bit different characteristics to them in a standard acrylic finish would. Aggregate sizes can also affect the overall look and feel of a stucco wall and will be very different in appearance when the finish coat is finally applied.
