Can Everlast Composite Siding Be Painted?

Wed, Sep 27, 2017

Everlast HomeLet’s face it. Every home needs a fresh look that lends itself great curb appeal whether it is a new construction or a renovation of an older home. There are many choices for composite siding colors that beautifully complement any style of home.   Everlast composite siding colors offer ten choices that encompass traditional and contemporary alike.  Neutral colors include Polar White, Antique Ivory, Sand Dune, and Canvas.  Traditional New England colors include Harbor Blue, Cabernet Red, Seaside Grey, and Chestnut.  Spanish Moss and Misty Taupe are popular amongst those looking for contemporary colors.

Everlast Composite siding is different from other fiber cement sidings in that it doesn’t require painting in order to keep the color vibrant and fresh.  The color is not just painted on but is colored through on each piece of siding.  Whichever color is chosen will remain beautiful for decades and comes with a lifetime warranty as well as a lifetime fade protection warranty.

How to Change the Color of Everlast Composite Siding

Even though this siding never requires painting, some homeowners may want a change in color.  Rather than buying all new siding, they may wish to just paint over the existing one.  Everlast siding can be painted over if the homeowner desires a different color.  Exterior acrylic latex paint and a primer should be used if a change of coEverlast Composite Woodlor in the siding is desired.

Because the siding looks like real cedar wood, including realistic wood grain and grooves, continuous painting of this siding can diminish the real wood look as the paint fills in the grain each time it is painted. 

One of the benefits of Everlast composite siding is the fact that it is almost entirely maintenance-free.  It is pest repellent, moisture repellent, and never requires painting.  Real wood siding draws pests like ants, termites, bees, and woodpeckers and needs the use of pesticides to keep them at bay.  Real wood also becomes damaged in areas of heavy moisture, requiring replacement of rotting or peeling pieces.  Real wood also requires painting or staining every five to ten years.  Fiber cement siding is repellent to both pests and moisture, but it requires painting every ten to fifteen years.  With Everlast composite siding colors, homeowners get a beautiful, rich color without the worries of upkeep and maintenance.  If, however, a change of color is desired, it is easily attained through painting, all while keeping the siding pest and moisture repellent.
