The best qualified paint for Hi., wouldn't necessarily cut it in Puna! Here, mildew is king, and the major concern!
The latest in anti mildew is a Zinsser product, "Ultra White" Exterior house & trim, semi gloss or gloss, I belive it's called and is actually graded to combat mildew, only a little more expensive! Next would be a Sherwin Williams product called Duration(I think). Their top line @ 45$ gal. (lifetime guarantee!)
Did you try light clorox and rinsing the paint good, especially in shaded or overhung spots? Paint work costs about 6xthe paint cost for labor. Plus Sears sells good solutions for cleaning and resurfacing areas instead of painting! Pressure washer helps too!
