Oils and salts from your skin is reacting to the paint. Try a some denatured alcohol on a small spot and wait a day or so to see if that clears up the tackiness.


Or leave ir all alone and cover that area with a thin backed cloth covered material with or without padding..


And try not to lean on the paint.

Howdy,

You are no doubt correct on all counts, and I have tried the alcohol already.

Repainting the area would be trivial, but would there be anything that I should be doing by way of prep?

I doubt that new paint could stick to the paint I have in its present condition.

Many thanks,

Take off the old paint. How? Paint remover if it won't just scrape off.
