What' brand(s) do you like? I'm looking for good hiding power and
long-lasting. Price isn't important.

Everything - siding, fascia, soffits - has been cleaned by a combination
of powerwashing and scrubbing with Simple Green and bleach where necessary.

House is in N.J., which means that the yearly temperature range is about
10F to 95F. Maximum direct sun exposure of any side is less that five
hours/day. Siding color will be in the sand/beige/taupe family.
Decorative window shutters will be forest green. Fascia and soffits will
be white.

Thanks.

Ray

Devoe and Martin-Senour are the best paints I've ever used. You'll need to
find a hardware or paint specialty store that carries them. I don't recall
ever seeing them at the big home improvement stores. The quality is
fabulous.

I painted last year with California brand, because it was rated the highest
by Consumer Reports, at least at that time. I used their oil based primer
with their Freshcoat Velvet Flat for the clapboards, and their Satin Gloss
for the trim. It's pnly been a year, but it looks fabulous. It was a dream
to use, too. Best paint I've ever used. It was pricey, but worth it, if it
lasts the 10 years CR says it should. I'm in upstate NY.
