    Doesnt gloss tend to yellow though? Thats why I've been using eggshell

    Oil based paint will.

    Eggshell and gloss are available in oil and water based.

    Don't use 'Trade' paint.
    Dulux Non Drip Gloss is the best for 'amateurs'.
    HTH

    I found non-drip to be an absolute ball ache to use. I much prefer Dulux professional liquid gloss.
