NEVER paint wood. Wood was never meant to be painted in an exterior environment, I would scrape and pressure wash it all off, then apply a white colored stain (since you won't get every piece of paint off). The next time you need to reapply you just clean it with bleach and water hose, let it dry for a couple days and recoat, the wood sucks the stain right in and looks perfect again.
You have my interest. Do you have a stain that you would recommend? I see the expensive one listed below is also a sealer. Will it really last that much longer?
The local Home Depot has several Behr stains to choose from:
