Default Paint over clear finish?


wrote in message
ups.com...
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?

Leave the clear on. The next owner who wants to take them back to clear
finish will appreciate that. Makes the paint a lot easier to strip.

But seriously, short of a chemical conflict that makes the surface
self-destruct, a degreased and slightly scuffed finish should hold any good
paint.
