I would sand the old varnish lightly and use an oil based primer , then any single part oil paint.

This will make stripping easier as primer is softer than enamel and allow the scraping to have a warning strip at the top of the varnish.

The masking would not need to be removed between the primer coat and the covering paint.

So its not much extra work.
