External render finish matching

[freddy871]

The whole house at some point as had some type of coating applied badly , probably in the 90s. Over time some movement cracks appeared and water ingress made the coating blow and fall off. Builder patched in with render at some point and now I am being asked paint for friend. Question for those out there is there a way or a product I can use to recreate the sort of stipple effect in the images below , I include an area of the patches wall aswell . It's not a full stipple as the coating looks to have flakes in it . Once matched in as best I can I was planning to use bedec extra flex paint to try and reduce hairline cracks for a while at least and make the patches less visible. A fairly large house so re-render is not an option as owner is not that flush

It looks like some kind of cement slurry poorly stippled with maybe a rubber stippler and since has been poorly painted. All I can suggest is scrape/chip back the ghastly repairs and slurry-stipple the same before repainting. Whatever you do it's going to look poor, so it'll probably make the best of an existing bad job. With a customer pleading poverty before any work starts ("the owner is not flush") are you sure money will change hands upon completion? I recommend extreme caution and a substantial draw before commencing work.
