Okay guys, I have been doing mostly industrial/commercial painting for the last decade, but have made the decision to start chasing residential repaints once again. So I'm kinda' outta the loop on some stuff.
I have a log siding resort motel with--you guessed it--Behr 55 stain on it. Where the sun hits (at this altitude UV light is EVERYTHING) it's faded and turning black (plus the owner tried restaining it--which made it even blacker). Of course, where the sun doesn't hit (like under the porch), the siding looks just fine. The owner likes the color so I have to come up with something that will match the previous color.
What chemical(s) are you guys using in pressure washing to remove the stain and/or renew the wood siding?
Keep in mind I'm in Colorado, and I would like to find something that's availabe nationally or locally. I'd ask the paint store but sometimes they know less then I do, and have been known to steer a guy wrong.
Thanks, Casey
