Paint question

[Jusso]

Has anyone painted latex paint over polyurethane before?

My idea was that to seal the outside with the polyurethane and then paint over the top with exterior grade gloss latex paint.

Any thoughts?

I mixed mineral spirits and polyurathane 3 to 1 mix really thin for penatration 1 coat. then another at 2 to 1 mix. then kilz primer 2 coats then 2 coats of exterior latex.

I've done it too.

It should be fine as long as the urethane isn't perfectly smooth. You may want to give it a light sanding with 80 grit paper so the latex can "bite" into it. Also make sure the urethane has PLENTY of time to cure!
