Default paint for exterior wood

of course cedar can be painted. the entire east coast cape cods are
painted.. mostly white. Ingrid


Some woods should not be
painted--cedar and redwood, for example. Paint will not adhere to
them properly.

What I've gathered is you should definitely not paint cedar ... with
latex paint. Oil based is okay. Although I'm not sure if oil based
primer with a latex top coat would be okay or not.
