I have an Adirondak chair that is finished with spar varnish. I’d like to paint it. Do I have to remove the varnish or do something to the existing finish so the paint will stick?

Be sure the surfaces are clean. Then scuff sand all the surfaces with 320 sandpaper. Vacuum off the dust and then apply primer like Zinsser BIN and then 2-3 coats of you planned oil based top coat.
