Buy a good latex wall paint with built in primer.
Before painting ANY bare wood, it MUST be primed. If the wood has a lot of dark knothole spots, use a shellac based primer. It will prevent any tannin bleed through. Once primed, you can paint with your choice of quality paint.
Primer is your best friend here. Once primed and painted it will look great!
sand if needed. Next, prime the surface to be painted. Use brush or roller, depending on the area you're priming. Let the primer dry completely or the entire project could be a mess! Lastly, paint with your desired final color.
