Just built a picnic table out of treated pine wood.
Looking to paint or stain it near black or black colored.
What's the best way to do it how it will last and won't peel?
Table is outside under an awning and will never be in the sun.

Scorch it with a torch and seal it. Makes a nice look if you like that style.

Let it dry if the treated wood is still "green".
Stain with Cabot semi-solid stain (Lowes).
I did a swingset and have been impressed with the longevity.
Kind of cross between a stain and an oil based paint. Will allow some of the grain to show through but it is mostly opaque. Available in quite a few colors.
Hope this helps.
