| Q: We purchased a building that has faded cedar shingles on it. Can we paint them, and if so, what is the recommended procedure and type of paint we should use?
A: Yes. First, clean them using a deck and siding cleaner to remove oxidation, and sand them if you can. If not, the deck cleaner should be sufficient. Use a good quality exterior primer followed by similar exterior paint. As a rule, better paints and primers tend to cost more.
