RE: painting wood
Kind of functional and personal opinion-depending on type of wood, ply or solid planks, personally I would stain the tone I wanted and cover with coat of Minwax PU in semi gloss or flat , if you want colors, then prime, paint -using a exterior latex-where glow fuel might be spilled - add a coat of PU.

RE: painting wood
JMO I'd start with a wood sealer, instead of waterproofer and sand - another coat of sealer and sand - then stain and Minwax PU as per (flipstart). I would rather use an OIL BASE over LATEX - JMO
