    Painted yellow pine for outside use advisable?

    I was going to use some kiln dried S4S full 1 inch thick clear yellow pine I just purchased (gloatable) at a local auction to build some wooden storm windows. I read online that yellow pine isn't the ideal outdoor wood but these will be well primed and painted to match or contrast with my house. Anything wrong with using yellow pine for this application? I have a two story house with a 30 inch + overhang so that provides quite a bit of protection from rain. Is there anything special I need to do to the wood to help it's longevity besides the painting or is this totally inadvisable? Thanks, Mike
