Hello:
I understand that the Hardie Fiber/Cement clapboard type of house siding
comes
pre-painted if one desires.
Question: how is the problem of the nail heads then handled ?
Do you have to hire someone to just go around and put a dab of paint on each
nail head ?
What am i missing here, please ?
Thanks,
Bob

the siding is blind nailed, that is the siding is nailed about an inch
from the upper edge and piece above covers it. in those spots where
this is not possible (like up against the eave), then yes, you have
someone dab a spot of paint on the nail. color matched touch up paint
and color matched caulk should be available.

You will need to caulk the nailheads using the same material that was
applied to the butt joints between sections.

Be aware, priming and painting is a all side proposition. Hardie siding
panels are ONLY primed/painted on the Top Side. All cuts and the back
side need to be primed for long life and any exposed nail heads and
seams need paint/caulk.

Why in the world would you back-prime cement siding? I can see it with
wood, where you nail the siding up against the sheathing, but cement
board needs an air gap to keep condensation from rotting out the
framing. With proper ventilation, painted one side should be fine.
