A friend has some fiber cement siding that the paint is peeling off of. I was under the impression that the fiber cement siding held paint really well, but the stuff is peeling like crazy. Did the contractor just use crappy paint? Or was there an improper application? What type of primer/paint would be best for this siding? It is confusing because the peeling is just in an isolated area. It's not a small area, but the rest of the house is fine. Any and all help is appreciated.

God bless,
