Ok here is how you do it.
For the whole house - pressure wash everything first.
Bottom half where you have cedar clapboards, scrape, feather sand,
spot prime with an oil primer. As for painting, purchase a 100% acrylic latex primer - tint it to the color customer wants, at least as close as it can get as allowed by manufactureres - then use that as your first coat of paint. Then second coat with latex house paint.
top half: Scrape with Bahco tungsten/carbide pull scrapers, spot sand, and follow above with prime and paint. If you are really pressed for time. Just do a splash and dash technique with the shakes. Instead of oil primer - purchase XIM Peel Bond. Have it tinted with up to 2 oz. of colorant. Use a putty knife and a pull scraper. And figure exactly how much time you are alotting yourself to per area for scraping, and don't spend any more time! Then use the peel bond as your primer/first coat of paint. And then paint the second coat with latex paint.
Good luck
