I'm doing an outside project using wood. The final thing will be painted to protect it from the elements.

As luck would have it, there are some pre-primed hard word pieces I can buy that would work, and they are significantly less spendy than unprimed. Manufacturer recommends a solvent based paint.

Would buying these and then coating them with something like Sandext 10 year be a massive gamble? My concerns are

• the quality of wood would be < unprimed bare hardwood
  
• the primer might not be optimal for the paint
