Cedar Batts Over Painted Hardie Siding?

Seamus1234

Finishing up a garage build and down to the trim and batts; using 1 x 4 cedar for both.

Plan on painting batts, so oil priming all edges and 2 coats of topcoat to match the siding. For the back of the batts can I use a stain instead of the oil base prime to seal and protect them. 2 reason for this; I have lots of stain and the oil prime takes a long time to dry. I'm talking about a water base stain.

I also plan on use the water base stain on the trim. Our house is cedar and I'm trying to match the trim by using the same water base stain.
