I have three back steps which are under a overhang, but they do get

wants the pine removed and something like TREX laid over them. I saw
some hardiboard siding (?) which looks like 3/8 thick and yellow in
color. Would this be acceptable if screwed down every 12 inches? Will
it hold paint? How about wear and weather resistance? I've never used
it but have used the grey cement board.

TIA

Go with the TREX. No maintenance.
The cement board depending on brand is pretty porous as it is meant to
bond to mortar or a glue.
