I was not aware that "Hardie" products came pre-painted. I have used
the 4'x8' sheets, stucco finish, with the trim pieces, but they came
pre-primered not painted. After 8 years my project is looking fine.
I have seen where the product has "rotted" if allowed to be covered
with moist organic material. The board becomes crumbly, but the
finished suface retains paint and general look.

Planks and panels come in 6 light 'standard' colors and 14 others, mostly
deeper and quite nice, if a bit 'safe'.
Trim and soffits come in 7.

Ouch. By 'covered' do you mean buried at grade, or leave-muck at gutters?
