I'm making a new set of teak sign boards for a large yacht. The owner decided to change the name of the boat. The lettering and border are raised from the rest of the sign. The tops of the letters and border will be painted with Petit Easypoxy oil based marine paint, and the rest of the sign will be varnished with four coats of Epifanes Rapidclear followed by a couple coats of Epifanes gloss spar varnish.

On the old sign it looks like they did the painting first, then applied the varnish over everything including the paint. The sheen on the top of the letters looks the same as on the natural wood areas. Is it okay to put varnish over the oil based marine paint?
