Painting Moulded Internal Doors

Looking for some advice please !
Our house has 6 panel moulded doors all through, they seemed to have been pre-finished in white gloss. Since I've redecorated, and the woodwork around them is now very white, the doors look a bit off white/yellowed.
Can you paint these things ? If so, how do you prepare them and do you use normal gloss or some special type of paint ?
Thanks in advance

no you dont need special paint just lightly sand them before painting and undercoat them first or just use self undercoating gloss0

if your not experienced in glossing then it may be more suitable for you to lay the doors flat on benches, and then paint them.
technique with panel doors is to paint the mouldings first, then the panels, then the main frame.Get some gorm.0 -
