    I am back re my new doors - has anyone used Dulux Once gloss paint? A friend has suggested that instead of two undercoats and a gloss on my newly primed doors I could do one undercoat and a coat of ONCE. I know it pongs and takes 16 hours to dry but can live with that. Any thoughts?

    I think it's called Once because 'once you've done it you'll regret it'.

    okay, two negative replies re 'Once'. Can I have a bit of explanation though please or shall I phone Dulux!
    I would have put primer on plus one undercoat before I used it.
