Yes, you can absolutely cover the varnish with latex paint - provided that you prepare the surface correctly. The varnish may contain paint-repellent impurities that must be removed to ensure the adhesion of the latex paint; therefore, before switching from varnish to latex paint, the surface must be blunted, cleaned and primed. To prevent tannins from getting on the paint, the surface should be primed with shellac. Spend time on the preparatory work, and you will avoid peeling the paint in the future.



1

Cover the floors with napkins. Sand and clean the entire surface to be painted using a medium-grain sanding block. Do not grind to bare wood. Remove the sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner.



2

Prepare a cleaning solution of trisodium phosphate (TSP) and hot water according to the manufacturer's instructions. Prepare a second bucket of clean hot water for rinsing.



3

Wear eye protection and a pair of rubber gloves. Use a lint-free cloth soaked in TSP to clean the sanded surface. Rinse off the solution with clean rinsing water and let it dry completely.



4

Fill all nail holes or dents with vinyl putty using a putty knife. Allow the putty to dry completely. Sand the patched areas to a smooth surface using a fine-grained sanding bar. Remove the sanding dust with a clean, damp cloth.



5

Apply caulk to the open seams and crevices with a caulk gun. Smooth out the caulk with the tip of your finger and wipe off the excess caulk with a clean, damp cloth. Allow the caulk to dry completely. This is an optional step, but it is necessary to ensure a seamless look.



6

Paint over the walls adjacent to the cabinets, floors, fixed fittings and everything else that you do not want to paint with masking tape.



7

Ventilate the work area.



8

Pour the primer into the paint container. Apply a coat of primer to the trim and around the perimeter of large areas, such as cabinets or doors, using a 5-centimeter conical brush. Use the brush to handle corners and all small areas where the roller does not fit. Fill large areas with a primer using a 15-centimeter synthetic mini roller. Allow the primer to dry completely.



9

Sand the primed areas using a fine-grained sanding bar to provide a smooth base for the paint. Remove the sanding dust with a clean, damp cloth. Apply a second coat of primer and let it dry completely.



10

Stir the paint with a stirrer to evenly distribute the color pigments. Pour the paint into a clean paint container. Put the new 15 cm roller on the roller handle. Use a 5-centimeter conical brush to apply a coat of paint to the finish. Cut corners, the perimeter of large areas and all small areas where the roller does not fit with the paint. Fill in large areas with a 15-centimeter mini roller. Allow the paint to dry for the time recommended by the manufacturer, then apply a second coat of paint.
