Now days that is done with copper. When it oxidizes it turns green. The wood was probably still wet when you painted it Let it dry out and repaint it with a stain blocking primer first.<br><b>References : </b><br> The post is probably pressure treated wood.

You can wash it off with a bleach solution if you so desire. If it's not on the surface and it is a pressure treated post, it might be the pressure-treating solution bleeding through. When you use pressure treated wood and want to paint it, you need first to let it dry thoroughly, then prime it before painting.<br><b>References : </b><br> If it’s on the surface of the paint, it’s moss.

You may want to ask about a primer coat, then the outdoor coat. Check with your local paint specialist.<br><b>References : </b><br> It sounds like the natural oils of the wood coming through the paint.
