Default Asphalt siding

We have some really ugly siding. It's a pressed asphalt product made
to look like wood shingles. A little information can be found on:
http://www.arkansaspreservation.org/...ding_index.asp

and the extracted picture specifically:
http://www.arkansaspreservation.org/...uls_garage.jpg

It's not so much the product (heck, it looks fairly good for being
close to 40 years old) but the color.

Anyone have any idea why this couldn't be painted?
(We've actually done a small section on a third floor balcony (half
enclosed) where it can't be seen from the street, and could be easilly
replaced with a different material.... no problems seen yet)

Recomendations for type of paint? (oil/latex/alkaloid)
I would think an outdoor latex, since it will move with the
material.... but then wood moves and i would think an oil based paint
would be good for that... so perhaps i'm off the mark.
