They painted over the ones I did on some Hardees Restaurants many years ago, so I don't know if that helped prolong their life, but they are still on the Mansard Roof 22 years later and are staying in great shape, but they were also Heavies.

Never heard they don't last as long. I think the problem with cedar usually is ventilation. Heck the problem with most roofing usually is ventilation.

My oldest cedar roof is less than 10 years old so I can't say much about my own installs, however from the ones I have torn off I'd say it's about the same ammount of time.
