IMHO it would depend on the paint. I was at the paint store and this elderly gentlemen was in front of me. He ask for paint.
The seller says we have 10 year , 15 , or 25 years. The elderly gentlemen who looked to be in his late 70's. He said give me the ten year after that some one else can paint it.

As I understand it, as far as the warranty is concerned, all they will cover is the actual paint. No labor costs involved with repainting.
