WHAT PAINT TYPE IS GOOD FOR WOOD? OUTDOOR CONDITIONS?

If you just want to put a color on your wall, paint is the answer. I'd recommend priming the bare wood first. A water based primer will work fine. Also, you might want to caulk up any joints between the wood. After it's primed, get an ';exterior'; paint. It's meant to hold up to the sun and weather, and I'd put down 2 coats of that. If you have a lot of surface area to deal with, I'd recommend renting an airless paint sprayer. You could spray two whole coats in a day and be done with it.

Use a high-gloss enamel. Enamel is tough and high gloss sheds dirt and water best.WHAT PAINT TYPE IS GOOD FOR WOOD? OUTDOOR CONDITIONS?
I totally disagree with anyone that suggests oil paint. Oil stain is a different story! New windows stain. Old windows Ext. Latext paint. Wood siding--Oil Stain--.
Oil base paint,...be sure to prime new wood to ensure the paint properly adheres and it prevents pealing!~
