paint over stained siding?

The cedar siding is currently stained with BM semi-transparent deck and siding stain (2 coats, ~4 years). The stain is chipping off in spots. If I restain these spots, the stain still comes off.

The BM dealer came by to look at the problem and suggested Aura paint.

I need a second opinion.

Will BM's Aura waterborne exterior paint (flat) adhere to both the bare spots and the existing stain? I have a sample aging outside, but I need to paint all the siding this spring/summer. I'm not sure the sample will have enough time to determine if Aura is the solution.

How long does the Aura last? That is, when would I have to repaint again?

Thanks for any advice.
