If you paint cedar you loose what you paid for. Don't paint a cedar deck, seal a cedar deck with natural, clear oil-based sealer. I recommend a quality sealer such as the Benjamin Moore 'Natural' (clear) sealer for exterior wood. http://www.sharewisdom.org/home-and-garden/home-renovations-and-repairs/16.html
