Best Answer

Paint can be applied over varnish, but it needs to be a compatible type of paint for the type of varnish, and the surface needs to be prepared by removing loose material, dirt and sanding. If it is not a compatible paint the surface needs to be etch primed. Contact a local paint supplier for advice.

No you cannot paint over a varnish. it does not work well and the paint will not likely stick. A varnish is a kind of paint anyways and protects the furniture too.
