Quite. The lifetime of paint on the windows in S/W facing rear of our house was
about 18 months, no matter how carefully it was prepared and what paint was

Often paint flakes off from the wood itself, so a lot depends on the
primer and correct preparation.

Ironically some better quality timber is harder to get the primer to
stay on.

The best primer and paint for this sort of thing is usually absent
from the shelves of the local 'shed'....
