Hello, I think that's pretty cool! ! Could you tell us where you can buy that same sprayer you're using?

Great Work !!!!

did the papercrete actually stay on the metal without any wire mesh? Or did it peel off? Also, do you think that this would stay on in snow and freezing conditions?

[sklarm]

The papercrete is still on the metal. It stuck very well as long as it did not come in contact with the rubber linings on the container doors.

Doesn't portland cement cause acrylic latex emulsion-paint to instantly congeal?

You forgot to wear a respirator and safety goggles, especially with airborne cement. Amazing.

Stucco on a metal shipping container makes it look better? I think not. Very ugly.  Only good I can see it doing is helping deflect sun.

@pupplesan yes, I guess he hasn't heard you can buy stucco in bags.

Looks like hell!

It was very nicely done. I especially like the idea of adding paint to the mix. I wish you would do a follow up video. It would be nice to see how it turned out. Why didn’t you use wire mesh under the first coat? Was it not needed? Will it adhere just as well? Thanks for sharing!

Hey, add old styrofoam cups and such to your "stucco" and you might get an insulating effect. Use a mulcher or something like it to break up the styrofoam?

Nicely done !!!

Do you remember the power of the compressor that was used to spray stucco?
