Our 25 yr old home was stained w/a dark stain, onto cedar siding. The stain has since become almost a black color. We’re considering removing the stain, or painting over it. Unsure of possibility of removing the stain, or how difficult the process may be. Suggestions?

Forget removing the stain… it will not work… prime it with an exterior grade oil base sealer primer-stain blocker… paint it with a HIGH GRADE PRODUCT (recommend Sherwin Williams A-100) use Gloss or semi gloss
