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.

What is the table top made of???

Believe it is aluminum. It's one of the tables that Home Depot sells
that has the 12x12 ceramic tiles in it. It lasted all summer. The
blemishes didn't show up till the very end of the summer. The clear
coat that I sprayed on was rated for out door use. Not sure about the
UV rating, but would suspect it had it. I think I used Rustoleum
brand, but not absolutely sure. It wasn't the cheap stuff.
