Painting too soon on treated wood can result in undesired bubble formation. If you paint treated wood too soon the paint will not be able to properly adhere to the surface of the wood. This means the wood may not get the proper coverage.
After the wood is pressure treated, it can be moist for quite a while. To determine if your treated wood is paintable, drop some water on the surface of the board. The paint will mix with the moisture on the wood causing the paint to swell up, creating ugly bubbles.
That builds up the mold, and the wood gets damaged quickly. Should you try to apply a surface finish over that degree of moisture, the results will be patchy, and the covering will fail to adhere. There are higher chances that it is still wet and water is sealed in.
Swelling and shrinking damages the wood due to splits and cracks. Moreover, you will have to repaint the wood at some point, resulting in far more work to be done. If the water soaks into the wood, then it’s ready for paint.
