In a study of this question, researchers prepared wooden panels and then exposed them to the weather. Some of the variables recorded were type of wood (yellow poplar, pine, cedar); type of water repellent (solvent based, water-based); paint thickness (millimeters); paint color (white, gray, light blue); weathering time (months).
