You should be able to paint the area with a couple of coats of Unibond and
then whatever paint you like...

The special stuff you are looking for is called Jinzer, and it aint cheap,
but it works really well

I've an idea that this is a shellac or similar base with cellulose
thinners. A variation on the tried and trusted theme of a layer of
varnish.
While you can still get emulsion, the "trade" tends to distinguish
between that and acrylics. High quality acrylics have a lot of titanium
oxide -an high opacity whitener. That is why some brands are more
expensive than others and also why they can be watered down a lot.
Try a coat of this high opacity stuff such as Macpherson's exterior
quality paint.

Any OIL based undercoat/primer will do (i.e. anything that says to wash the
brushes in white spirit).
