| I pained my kitchen table with black craft paint (not a smart choice, I know now). I coated it with 2 coats of Poly.
It looks awful. I can see little spots/dots from where I sprayed cleaner onto it. Can I just sand it a bit and paint again or do I have to strip it? Thank you |

| Me again.... I did a search and it seems SW ProClassic Interior Acrylic Alkyd would be a good paint for the table. Can I just sand the current paint, and then use this? Thanks |

| Since the SW ProClassic Interior Acrylic Alkyd appears to be a latex/oil hybrid (similar to my current fave Ace alkatex cabinet paint), you're probably alright just sanding down the sheen & painting. These hybrid products can be a little confusing, but my understanding is that they should be able to cover both oil or water-based products. However, your best bet is to ask at Sherwin Williams. Let them know *exactly* what products you used. They might recommend that you both sand and prime, though I doubt you need to completely strip it. In my limited experience with SW, their staff has been well-informed and helpful. I hope you let us know how it goes! |

| I was doing more reading last night and ProClassic cannot be tinted black. I called today and they confirmed it. They said All Surface Enamel would be my best bet. |
