Thank you for the reply. I'll be putting the clear coat on Friday. I want to use it because the finish of just the paint seems like it may be difficult to clean later.

Fair enough. Remember to give your cabinets a full SEVEN DAYS for the paint to cure before you start using it, or you risk scratching / chipping the paint.

Good to know. It would be ready now but after putting the oil based clear coat I had to paint over that to get rid of the yellow tint. Now the top layer isn't as smooth as it was before. So I need to do one coat paint, then wait and seal. ugh!

In the future, it would be better to just sand off the oil paint, rather than cover it. Water paint and oil paint don't layer well, unless the oil paint is given time to fully fully cure first.

It was a real think later of the spray I put on and did wait about 10 days to paint over it.
