Anyone know of something comparable that can be used in exterior locations?

StoQuik Exterior Soffit Finish might work, depending on applications & substrate:

Robin,

Likewise, I also specify STO, Dryvit and Senergy DEFS products/systems for exterior soffits.

My bad, I should have specified, this is for exterior GFRC columns and concrete columns, not soffits.

How nice does it need to look?  
I’d probably start talking with the folks at Tnemec (remember, cement spelled backwards) since they have some good systems. Miracote and Stongwall have some very good direct-to-concrete systems depending on what you want the final outcome to be. Miracote probably has more decorative systems. Tex-Cote is a cheaper version of Miracote. Are you looking for something that will cover less-than-perfect surfaces?
