talked to a neighbor today who painted his siding on upper part of
home 10 years ago when putting on addition.

he had it painted white on white because the new siding didnt match
the old it had yellowed. its held up ok for the early years , but has
worn off here and there and is now peeling.

they did a real pro job, pressure washed, delustered, primed and two
coats of paint. ended up 1/2 the price of new siding.

he is preparing to sell and downsize and really regrets they didnt
replace it. his wife wanted a jacuzzi tub, which got little use and is
now covered with a wood plank, after wife tired of cleaning it, even
unused, it got dusty.

again new siding doesnt exactly match old, realtor said paining will
make it harder to sell and decrease home value, his only option
appears a complete reside aboutr 12 grand, by the first estimate
