What's the best white gloss paint in the world?
Comments

I use a lot of Johnstones and really like it, but I do find the liquid gloss quite runny. According to two local distributors Jonstones has out-performed Dulux in several trade tests over the recent years. Certainly I have no complaints in it's coverage/opacity.
Phils back. Been Yomping again mate?

Sort of mate. Been real busy too. Burning the candle at both ends. Been working up in London and leaving at silly o clock to meet the traffic and by the time I get home I'm fit to drop!Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -

My bro is a painter and decorator and uses Johnstones trade paints.Did my last house from top to bottom and it seems a good product to me.Will use it again on my new place.
Also,i remember watching a consumer programme once were they tested all leading brands of paint by using different ones on different beach huts in a set location.Crown came out on top despite not being the dearest one.This was a few years ago though.0 -
Dulux, Crown.
I've only recently discovered that it's the sun that stops white paint going yellow, and the lack of sunlight that causes it to turn yellow."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0 -
dulux trade paint are the best , solvent based paints do turn yellow after a while , water based paints tend to stay whiter for longer , but aren't quite as tough as solvent based . they dry quicker and the paint doesn't smell so bad ,0

I agree, plus the finish is not as good as oilbase IMO0 -
When there were smokers in the house, I never found one that didn't go yellow, and it didn't take long either. Life is so much easier now that we're smoke-free, whites actually stay white.0

A tip I was given by a painter to make white gloss stay white longer is to mix a bit of black paint with it. I know I thought the same, but he showed me, and the gloss work we did stayed white for ages.
But as ukwoody says it is all to do with the prep work, get that right and you wont go wrong.0
