Hello All,

Last summer purchased outdoor table from Home Depot. I sprayed it
with a clear coat hoping it would extend the painted finish. The
clear coat has milky splotchy patches. I suspect the surface was not
total clean. What is the best way to fix this?

Strip the spray painted clear coat?. Sand down to the painted surface
and just re-spray with paint?

Input would be appreciated.


What is a "clear coat?" You get milky patches when water seeps under
the finish. Try rubbing the milky areas with mayonaise and a rag.
