Have painted my lounge doors with white gloss paint and after 2 months it is already turning yellow. Does anyone know of any gloss paint that does not do this?

    I am told that International Cupboard Paint and Sikkens Rubbol Satura Plus (satin) do not yellow, or at least very slowly, due apparently to not using linseed oil in the formulation, which increases the cost. I used some Dulux white gloss paint (blue lid) a few months back and it has gone yellow, Fortunately I found out in time, and hence only painted a few small areas which I repainted today.

    The alternative is water based. Apparently some are quite good, especially when mixed with Floetrol to improve its flow. Caparol (spelling?) gets some good comments not that I've used it. Some WB paints are poor though.

  • I did my lounge woodwork with B&Q own brand gloss 5 years ago and it is still white. At the time it was called Miracle Gloss, I think these days it come under thier Colours range. I buy the one that the brushes can be cleaned with water.
  • There's lots of good tips in this thread :)
