Re: repainting cedar exterior

Hi, I live in South Louisiana and have Cypress siding on over half of my house, and am in the process of repainting. I have painted several times in the past twenty years, and have only had to clorox wash before painting, never in only a few months time. I realize the woods are not the same, but if you check with your Glidden supplier, I feel he should be able to provide you with a product to reduce or eliminate the discoloration. My problem has been mildew (and ocasionally, Moss) but we used a product supplied by Glidden to reduce/eliminate the mildew. I suggest you talk to the supplier. If you get no results, you may want to strip the paint, reseal, then paint with a better grade paint.
