Cost for pro paint varies hugely here. One neighbor spent $6,000. Asian family, dad and three sons on the ladders and mom helping and feeding them. Took a few days. Other neighbor spent $60,000. Big crew, burned paint off, whole house to bare wood, lots of prep, multiple coats. Took a couple months. The $60K job looks a lot better than the $6K job but not 10X better. I'm sure it won't last 10X longer.

Do different colors hold up to the elements or conceal prep flaws differently?
