Aloha Pam>PJ The wood probably won't have a green tint to it because they stopped producing cca treated lumber a few years ago, I believe, and it was very green now it's probably kind of a semi transparent brown color but your taggie should tell you.
If it is Osmose weathershield it should have covered protection for termites, rot and decay but recommends a sealer periodically I'd say the cedarshield would be a great product for this new pt lumber.

Buzz, I was just reading further about painting staining old cca material with regard to peeling and it says not recommended for use with anything other than oil based products no latex especially the new lead free stuff, which reminds me, I have all kinds of people telling me the new lead free latex paints don't seem to adhere as well as the old lead based latex paints lots of premature peeling. So anyone out painting buyer beware.

PS IF it is Osmose weathershield on the tag please let me know as it would answer my original question.
