Depends what you want it to look like if wood look sanding sealer then 3-4 coats of oil poly would be best. For painted I recommend oil primer, sand, caulk, 2 coats of good latex enamel semi gloss. If you paint, the paint takes 30 days to cure. It's easier maintain ploy than paint. You could use a waterborne poly but I would put as many coats as you can on it. ( water-based is faster dry but not as thick in coating ). ☺
