Is it just the brilliant white paint that yellows or is it all whites? Need advise

To be honest I just repainted with water based paint after a light sanded down. I thought eggshell didn't have this problem hence why I tried it.

That's interesting! Did the yellowing go after you removed the pots?

I have ordered and now cancelled the Bedec aqua advance, undercoat, satin and gloss because although its quick drying it seems likely it will need at least 3 coats, probably even 4 as its going over green and pink. It will also slow down the rest of the room being painted (too much to go in to)

To cut down waiting 4 hrs between coats I am now thinking of getting the Bedec MSP as it needs no undercoat and I'd settle for getting just the satin or the gloss to do all the areas rather than do some in gloss and some in satin so it will be more economical.

What I want to know is how glossy is the MSP gloss? I know its supposed to be less glossy than normal gloss and the satin is supposed to be more like eggshell than satin but does that mean the gloss will be about what a normal satin would be?

I want it for coving ect so I don't want it to be too glossy, more of a satin coat rather than eggshell so which one would be best in the MSP, gloss or satin?

Also, the MSP is more expensive than the bedec aqua advance, I would have thought the other way around. Which is the better product if anyone has ever had the chance to compare?

satin finish would be fine ,for coving , it has a bit of sheen to it they do a matt finish as well ,
to cover your green/pink you will need to give it enough u/c's to cover it , even a solvent based would probably need 2 u/cs depending on how dark the green and pink are

I've now found out that the MSP has difficulty sticking to previously gloss painted surfaces and the woodwork in the room is VERY super glossy, old Johnsons gloss from years ago. Will every single inch have to be heavily sanded down? as that's going to be very time consuming, I'm not doing it myself though

i would give it a good sand down , then you could give it a coat of owetrol esp
which will save a lot of hassle
