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

And repainted ad infinitum. Cedar and redwood are difficult to paint
because they contain soluble products that migrate through the paint
film and cause stains. They are best stained and sealed.

all wooden surfaces have to be repainted every few years. use shellac to seal the
water soluble stains. I use shellac whenever there is a problem. one coat does it.
