You dont prime under stain, Cedar shingles should not be painted. Are
you sure its paint. Hot surfaces are the worst to paint on. that may be
your failure or freezing. Olympic is getting the highest ratings , read
Consumer reports. If you can remove all loose product stain it . Old
unpreped oxidised wood can peel. Are shingles rotting at bottom lip.
They only last so long. Its a PIA . I have cedar shingles also.

I might be able to justify spending the money on new shingles if they
were rotting. When they are powerwashed and sanded they look brand
new. I have not found any rotting ones. Thanks for the tip on
Olympic. BTW, what do you do with your shingles? Why the do people
put color on them in the first place? I just don't get it.
