What paint for soffits and fascias

[tu_pence]

I need to paint my soffits and fascia. The paint has chipped and is pealing in places. It's a long overdue project.
Bedec barn paint has been recommended but is very pricey - would people agree that this is the best paint to use?

For exterior wood I use 10 year gloss. It seems to work.

Thanjs for the reply.
Just checking you mean the bedec paint? Or another brand?

Sandtex is the only one doing a claimed 10 year paint. The International brand used to do it and it was good stuff but they got taken over by dulux. Dulux only does an 8 year paint.

I've used Sandtex 10 year exterior satin ("advanced technology" whatever that means) on an oak front door, it went on well over a zinsser cover stain primer.

Yes, Bedec Barn paint, all day long! Yes, it's pricey, but do your prep and apply in dry weather and it's a proper job. I've used anthracite grey, applied with a radiator gloss roller, two good coats.
