Paint coat thickness is calibrated and consistently applied according to the manufacturer’s specifications (something that is just not possible when painting by hand.).(Although Hardie Board comes from the factory without the back of the board primed, according to James Hardie’s support department, they say you can prime and paint the entire board.) All sides of the Hardie Board are painted (even the edges) and therefore the entire board is completely sealed.

The best way to paint Hardie siding is to do it in a controlled environment before it’s installed on your home. So you need to use a paint that’s engineered to work with masonry products. Fiber cement has a higher PH value (more alkaline), which means it can be very tough on the paint that covers it. Hardie fiber cement siding is an excellent product but has different properties than typical cedar siding.
The obvious solution is to paint it, but before jumping on that train, it’s important to understand a few things about this product beforehand. When the color you want for your Hardie siding isn’t available In general, we find that most clients do honestly love the factory colors offered by James Hardie, but there are occasions where a client may want a very specific color that just isn’t available through James Hardie. James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology offers a beautiful array of warm, cool, and neutral colors, engineered to last, and designed to complement your home and your landscape.
