Can you paint a house that has pressed-board siding with paint labeled specifically for masonry?

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
asked:


I have 20 gallons of masonry paint that I was going to use to paint a house I ended up sellling. I still like the color, and I was wondering if I could paint my present house with it. This house has wooden window moldings, but is sided with some kind of pressed-board siding, like Masonite. I believe the paint is latex-based. Any suggestions?

Without fumigating my whole house or tearing down the siding on my house?

By the way, I would consider this an infestation. I kill up to 50 flies every day when I get home from school.
