Painting Exterior Wood ?

Jan 22, 2007 2 Replies

Hello:



Can pressure treated wood (exterior use) be directly painted over without a primer ? Latex paint O.K. ?



If a primer is needed, recommendations for ? Then is Latex O.K. ?



Thanks, B.


Always use primer! Always!

I would put 3 coats of oil based primer, then at least two coats of oil based paint if it's going to be outside.
