Can a sealant/clear coat be put over latex deck paint?

The floor wood of our deck is approx. 15 year old. The rails only 8. We just coated all with a latex deck color. All looks great except where the dogs walk. Is there any type of clear coating we can put over the traffic areas? It is a high sun area and we are in Kentucky.Can a sealant/clear coat be put over latex deck paint?
No, sealants are meant to go over either bare wood or stain. Paint is a poor choice in a high traffic area for this very reason. So is solid stain. You should have used a clear stain followed by the sealer.
