What type of paint and polyurethane should i use for a beer pong table?

Question

The table will obviously have liquids spilled on it so i need paint and clear coat that will prevent warping. Should i use acrylic paint, latex paint, or an oil based paint? Should the paint be indoor or outdoor? Should i use a water based polyurethane or an oil based polyurethane? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

marine spar varnish ?

Answer 2

First choice is a two-part (epoxy-like) varnish.  Comes in separate cans, mix together and pour.  Needs to brush around to get it even.  Lacking this, several coats of spray oil based exterior urethane.
