As a practicing artist, this is what I have found...


You have four choices--in descending order. All of which will work.


Your goal is to create a ';new'; surface that will evenly receive your paint.


So,. Coat the wood with a coat of Gesso, a product designed as a primer for acrylic artists paints.


Or, prime with KILZ latex stain blocking paint...spray of liquid


Or paint on any latex primer paint


Or 2 coats of any flat latex paint
You are wondering what type of primer you should use? Gesso would be okay.
Yep. Gesso. At least three coats.
