Painting Pressure Treated Wood?


What do I need to do before I paint treated wood? Is latex ok?

I Wouldn't Recommend Painting Pt At All. Maybe Stain.

Try the 'search' and go through the painting archives. This topic has been hammered.

Prime with an oil-based primer before painting with latex
Personally I prefer a solid color stain for a painted look on ptp, but that's not always possible
