Re: Painting Wood Siding.

What stain product did you use originally? Solid stains and paints on exterior wood promote rot and eventually peel. A high quality semi trans stain/sealer with high mildewcide content is always going to be better in the long run.

Re: Painting Wood Siding.

yeah strip it and start over, then of course keep up with it at the first signs of wear or discoloration.
