Troop seat paint

[stranman]

This may be a stupid question, but I truly do not know.
I finished building my troops seat, got the hardware off someone at the zone, used pressure treated lumber for the slats.
When painting the truck do you use the same paint to paint both the metal truck and the wooden slats of the troop seats? I was going to paint the slats separately using house paint.

Same paint can be used ,but treated lumber does not paint well.Untreated,but painted oak was originally used.

Echoing what DaveJ just said, the same paint was used stock, but the wood was white oak instead of treated wood. So YMMV...

Let the treated wood dry out for a couple of months and you will be ok.

Also use a good primer sealer on it....but paint it with the same paint your using on the rest of the truck.

I thought the original wood was red oak?

[Binford]

Could be. I'd heard white someplace.

It is white oak originally.
