Use a marine varnish which is for outdoor use. It holds up well. I would use a spray varnish.Can you apply varnish over house paint ?
You can, but I know that you must use an oilbase undercoat.


It, eventually bubbles if you don't.
use clear urethane varnish is less compatible with other finishes
Of Course Yes You May,It Will Polished It There's Nothing To Worry Dude .Good Luck!
Acrylics are harder and last longer than oil based paint. No need to cover it, especially with varnish.
