I need to paint a small area of cedar cladding. I know from doing this once before that the cedar bled through normal undercoat primer and discoloured the final white topcoat.
This new job will be painted a dark colour so any bleed through won't be such an issue. What suggestions for the best painting process?

Use an exterior paint that is self priming like timbacryl or solargard. My cedar weatherboards that had originally been oiled were painted with timbacryl after a good wash down, and lasted well for the best part of 20 years before I repainted them.

use an oilbased primer or exterior pigmented sealer for your first coat then 2 coats of exterior gloss/semigloss acrylic.dulux has an interior / exterior pigmented sealer,cedar has a natural oil in the timber ,so an oil based primer/sealer stops the bleed through.
