Can You Paint Cedar Without It Bleeding Through?

Wood Surfaces

What kind of project is it?

Cedar

Cedar is the warm natural accent — shutters, column wraps, porch posts — set against a painted body. The trick is keeping it from bleeding through.

Oil ProBlock firstCedar bleeds tannin — the brown stain that ghosts up through a topcoat. Oil ProBlock blocks it. This is where oil earns its place.
Paint or stain, your callStaying natural usually means the accent pieces — shutters, posts, wraps — stained to show the grain. See the Stain & Trim tab → for the stain detail.
Painted body, natural accentsLike the white board & batten house with cedar shutters and cedar porch posts.
