Default Pre-primed vs factory painted Hardi-Plank Siding

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts regarding the factory
painted Hard-Plank.

Will they be able to match the color we want? How does it look? How
does the touch-up paint / caulk look?

The quote we got is about $900 more for primed with two coats of
paint. I'm sure the siding guy prefers the factory painted because he
saves a lot of labor cost using the pre-painted siding. We just don't
want it to look cheezy.

I suspect that you meant it would save you a lot of labor cost; unless, of
course, the contractor is providing free labor. My guess would be that the
factory primed and painted siding would be just fine, in addition to being a
better paint job under controlled factory conditions. I sincerely doubt that
it would look 'cheesy'. As to getting the colors you wanted, well, that's
just individual taste and tolerance.

The pre painted siding is great. We get certainteed brand, and we can
get matching touch up paint and matching caulk. There is a better
color selection than in vinyl, but it isn't endless. As dave said,
it's a matter of individual taste.
