Yep, I think most competent painters would now the rules on painting it. I also was aware of the LRV of 55 too.

Matty, it would be great if you could just turn off your caps lock key for us :thumbup:

What LRV does super paint have? Does the LRV change with sheen and color?
Back to the OP. I am sure the best hole filler is toothpaste :whistling2:

Hey Tsun every color has a LRV number - old ICI/Glidden decks used to show the number right on the color chip. BM used to list with color name on the index part of the deck.(not sure if its still there will have to look today) You can ask you store and they should have the info. I know the gray I am using right now on some townhomes is a 54.
I've always just used caulk with no problems...but we have not had to paint the Aztek yet. I am wondering if the caulk will "shine"...\

Azek makes a product for this. Have the installers use cortex screws instead of nails. Then pay attention to wood grain direction when installing the plugs. Just make sure your hands are clean when plugging or you’ll see little black rings around the plugs.

Even if you don’t do the whole job with these use them within 10’ of doors and around decks. It’s worth it.
A local gas station used Azek or the equivalent for trim around the self-service pumps. All the joints were filled with caulking. The color is perfect, but the caulking gets dirty while the resin board stays clean. So it looks like gray grout around white tiles. It is not a good look. It did look good when first installed though. So I'm certain the contractor got paid.
