Varnish over paint?

Ro-76 · 2015-02-03 18:06:45

I'm about to repaint a wooden rocking chair. I have sanded it down completely and planning to paint it cream with a water based satin wood paint. Should I finish it by adding a coat of varnish to prevent scratches / marks?

Yes.

Think about whether you want a matte, gloss or satin finish before you choose, though!
