Yes and no answers your questions

 

[diycooper]

So i do not have to bond the pebble dash! I there anything i need to do ? Or do i just get a quality exterior paint and a brush, then go at it?

An macs paint, whatever colour and start painting, but instead of up and down, dab it so you get it in the nooks

or get a fence sprayer and do it that way...

i have got a electric fence spray.but someone told me if i use this the paint would flake. Is this true.? Do i need to water the first coat down or just put it on?

the person that told you that is wrong u just go ahead and paint it, the paint will not flake. the only reason u water down paint and put that on first is when you have a wall plastered indoors and you give it a white wash to show up any blemishes that need to be sanded down.
