    The short answer is Yes, But. The best way would be to sand all of the stucco away, clean, prime, apply the backsplash, apply and clean the grout, and seal it all. Let it cure for a few days, keeping moisture away.

    A lazy man's way would be to smooth the surface out with your grouting material, apply the backsplash, grout and clean, seal, and keep everyone away. Best wishes 😇

    If it's a very rough stucco finish, my answer would be a "no" because there isn't much flat surface on which the "peel & stick" can cling. However, if you sand the stucco down to a flatter, more even surface, removing all the loose bits and dust, it should work BUT it will be a messy, hard job. Good luck!

    Stuco is not very rough mostly flat. Do I remove paint before applying backsplash?

    The peel and stick needs a solid surface to cling to, you have 2 options:


    Sand the wall until it is smooth

    or

    Fill in the stucco


    No need to remove the paint from the back splash, just give it a sanding so the peel and stick tiles have something to stick to.
