Spray foam insulation

I have a home built in 1959 with stucco on paper and wire, no sheeting. I have demoed (plaster walls) the home and found some tears in the paper. I can probably repair but I am concerned with moisture getting to the new dry wall.

I was considering a closed cell spray foam kit. Can I spray over the moisture barrier in the stud bays and insulate with spray foam.

I’m not sure what other alternatives but like the thought of a sprayed in insulation since I live by the coast where the air moisture is heavy. Plus I get rain and wind in winter.

Can someone please advise me if I can shoot it over the paper and will it be my best option for stucco wall with no siding to protect drywall.

Just a quick question.Does anyone here have an idea of what it would cost to spray foam insulation a basement that is being refinished. It is stripped down to the studs and ready for insulation now. Will get a few quotes next week but thought I would ask you experts here. House is roughly 1700 square feet
thanks in advance for any help
