Default Hardie Cement Pre-Painted House Siding: How Are Nail Heads Handled ?

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.
