Chimney ISOKERN - Plastering externally by yourself??
When I set up my chimney, there was some adhesive left over, which I then used to coat it with a thin layer, and it didn't take much at all. My brother-in-law has a similar one and coated it with lime, and it seemed very complicated, many layers, and it didn't turn out quite well either. If I were to paint on the plaster myself, I would probably use white adhesive paint, which has great coverage and is easy to paint on plaster with.
Above the ridge, I put on a metal cap to protect against rain.

Take regular cement mortar C
Colored mortar is also available for purchase.
How you apply it is a matter of taste and design.
The simplest way is to put on rubber gloves, take the mortar in your hand, and spread it out bit by bit.
Then you can either use a tool, brush, or your hand to smooth it out, achieving different results.
For interiors, regular sand filler (wide filler) works well, followed by a textured paint (or paint with a substantial scoop of filler mixed in).
Good luck

A tip,
If you're painting, make sure to use "real" silicate paint!
For example from Sto
There are several on the market called silicate paints but aren't.
Silicate paint breathes and then stays for many years regardless of rain and moisture, and it's also easy to touch up if needed.
I haven't used silicate paint on a chimney, but several times on foundation walls with good results. However, there must be no paint residues from plastic or oil paints left underneath from previous paintings.
