Hi Stephen.  Would this work to cover discolouration caused by tree sap?

Thanks
Jeff

So some years ago I sanded and painted them with the only paint I had in hand, satin black. Sure it had a rat rod look to it, but when I bought a used kitchen unit a few months ago I swapped in the main panel. It's in fairly good condition, but a little faded and i think more matte than it was originally.
