Painting over dry rot can not only cover up the damage, but also serve as a quick fix for several years. If the wood you are dealing with has been rotting for a while though, painting over it may not last long. If the wood is too damp or moist, the paint may not stick for long, and within a couple years it may start to peel.
If the damaged wood is too pervasive, the only viable option may be to replace the wood affected by the dry rot.
