What wood do you suggest?Bark Brown paint for the panel and white or yellow for the text in the highest grade of exterior latex house paint you can find.
this is provided by the National Park Service and US Forest Service - never stain.
(and I'm afraid your pine wood is going to fail before the paint does - depending on which species of "pine" you used). a good coating of exterior oil primer is suggested.

Need advice for outdoor finish (on signs)
I've just routed some pine for trail markers, I'd like to stain them a darker brown and paint in the lettering with yellow. Much like a state park sign would look. What would be a good finish for outdoors that will help them to last? I live in the north east, so we'll be getting bitter cold, snow, rain, some sun on occasion.....
Any advice would be appreciated, I don't do much outdoor work. I know in the photo that they are painted, (maybe I'd be better off painting them(?), but I'd like to stain them.
