Stand paint

I'd roll on the primmer with a foam roller, once dry sand any rough sections and reapply if needed. Then spray top coat with gloss white enamel. Use whatever brand you prefer provided both primer and top coat are oil based and rated for exterior use.

I used Kilz water/mildew repellent, painted mine in white high gloss with a foam roller. This stuff lays on pretty thick.. with 2 coats you can really see the wood grain anymore.
