Default Paint over clear finish?

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?


thanks

bob

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.
