Elastomeric paints are a very good paint, for several reasons. When applied right, with rope marks, and the right millage, they are very good..But if you put it on like regular house paint, and not right millage ,then it will fail the same as regular paint.
Using elastomeric paint is like putting a rain coat on your house. It is made to with stand 104 mph.wind driven rain, before penetration. It stops air and water.That is good to a certain point.
Houses are made to breath, that is why they use tyvec house wrap.So air is stop from entering, but allows air to seep out. Elastomeric stop air and moisture from getting out..This will create a moisture problem for your interior. Will elastomeric save on your heating and cooling bills, yes.
With all paints, they will fade , darker colors will be noticeable faster than lighter colors will sooner..All paints can be colored to anything you want, Better quality paints will start to fade later then poor quality paints.
What people fail to remember is, that if a paint job is older than 6months old, then the chance for touch up is to late, fading, uv rays, dirt, wind, pollution,ect. is going to prevent this from being possible.
You never stated how old the paint job is, so i can only think that you could go back to place the paint came from ,and get a gallon of paint with the old formula, they have old formula's on file.
If not i suggest to repaint the house over, with a better grade of paint, and or elastomeric paints. Other wise you or the home owner isn't going to like the touch up, no matter how close you get to the right color.
Get more info from your paint dealer, you might be liking what you hear.
