Priming colored stucco prior to painting

AS long as you get any dirt and mildew off it is probably not necessary to prime if it is in good sound condition, especially if you are using a flat finish. If you are using a finish with any amount of shine I might be concerned about laps and flashing as the surface is usually very absorbent. It may be beneficial to prime it from that stand point. Like Chrisn says-listen to the rep. I've done a few of these and remember the first one I did I got an education. It took a ton of material! Figure accordingly.
