This wire mesh creates a strong bond for the plaster coats. ![Step 2: Scratch & Brown Coat](/assets/step-2-scratch-brown-2uypT-5H.jpg) 2 ### Step 2: Scratch & Brown Coat The scratch coat is applied and scored, followed by the brown coat. These base layers build thickness and create a level surface for the final finish. ![Step 3: Finish Color Coat](/assets/step-3-finish-B1x-wOPW.jpeg) 3 ### Step 3: Finish Color Coat The final color coat provides the decorative finish and weather protection.
