What type of cedar? shakes? claps? smooth? rough?
latex paint on cedar siding
I have a cedar siding house to work on that was painted 5 years ago with super spec semigloss. Many areas on the house are bubbling and peeling. I would say this is 10 % of the house. Therefore most of the house looks and feels sound, at least for now. What is the best process to approach this job? Do I stick with the latex paint or do I switch to latex stain?

The Cabot's is "solid color acrylic Stain" This is what I placed on my personal home as well as other cedar siding houses. On my house I went from a natural brown to a soft yellow... It took a good exterior primer and two coats. I have not had any problems with this, I am sure other acrylic latex paints would work also.:thumbup:
This is what I use all season long and am using currently on the home we are painting. Rough cedar Cabots Solid Pro VT.
Use the cabots system, it is excellent product as HOUSEPAINTER rec., also if there are any problem areas use cabots problem solver primer and then top coat with cabots prO.V.T...THE product is self-priming
I would still oil prime bare spots on any cedar and check the knots for tannin bleed.
