    I have just glossed the three doors in the dining room, to freshen it up. We did the living room last week, emulsion first, the gloss.

    Never again, anyway. Decorator next time!

    So much paint under my nails, it looks as if I've had a French manicure.

    I use a gloss paint roller for doors, twenty minutes a side and the job's done! And my cutting in is immaculate:D

    Ceiling - Coving - Walls - Skirtings and architraves then door last.

    I am yet to get lumpy skirtings as you simply run over the skirting with a fine sandpaper prior to putting the finish coat on as you should do ! same with cutting in.

    Thanks for all the replies, I'd say it's a pretty mixed bag here, so I'm just going to go ahead and do it my way!
