Paint for T-111 siding

[Sam Zawatsky]

I am in the process of having T-111 replaced on the back of a house being rehabbed. I’ve been going back and forth about paint options, and have been thinking about going with Sherwin Williams emerald outdoor paint. There are 2 options for this: standard, and rain refresh. The rain refresh has the new technology feature where water and dirt sort of just fall off of it, making it self cleaning for the most part. I’m thinking either option I pick I would get it in satin finish, although the original seems to be flat finish. Got any suggestions?
