Should not be painted (needs to breath) but stained instead.

I just googled 'painting pressure treated wood' and it seemed to come up with a bunch of hits, didn't check them all but it seemed like some may answer your question. |

Stain it, but only after it dries, fresh pressure treat can take 6
months to dry, get a 20$ moisture meter so you dont guess. A solid stain looks like paint. |

Patience is needed to allow the wood to dry. If painted wet for sure it will peel. When dry, prime, then paint. Much better than paint, use stain. |
