Old rough stucco had lots of patches and different textures.
There were also loose areas and several layers of peeling paint.

Here's how we did it:
Old stucco is chipped about every three inches or so using electric chipping hammers.
Our basecoat is cement mortar mixed with half and half flex-con and water.
We had to put the mortar on thick to cover the rough finish.
Here, the wall is rodded off with a scrap piece of weep screed.
The basecoat is left rough by combing with a rubber float.
First finish coat is put on and rubbed with a rubber float.
Blobs are dashed on using a stiff brush.
Blobs are flattened out when they set up with a trowel.
