I am thinking of getting a rabbit but the room that the rabbit would be staying in has cedar pannled walls is there a type of paint or stain that I could use to make the room safe for rabbits. I read that cedar effects their respiratory system.

I would try to avoid housing a rabbit on pine or cedar shavings as they can affect how the liver processes anesthesia/drugs (Care fresh would be a safe alternative), but having the rabbit in a room with cedar paneled walls is likely not an issue. The lingering fumes from any paint or stain would likely be worse for the rabbit. Good luck and enjoy! Rabbits can be wonderful pets!
