I am looking to paint some cabinet doors. They currently have a clear
finish on them (Varnish/poly?) Should I strip or simply paint over the
finish?
You can paint over it, but you should scuff-sand the existing finish
to give the primer something to bite onto. Benjamin Moore makes Fresh
Start primer that supposedly can be used directly onto semi-gloss
finishes and Formica. I'd still sand - belt and suspenders.
