scousemouse   10 #13 Posted August 10, 2012 I have used satinwood for years, but have now changed to gloss, it is harder wearing. I haven't found it has yellowed at all. Not sure of the brand though, as the decorator did it.!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
wednesday1   10 #14 Posted August 10, 2012 I just wonder how long you expect it to remain pristine white! You say a few years ago. If it's regularly cleaned properly, it will last a few years, but not forever, despite what the tin says. How many people can honestly say they clean their skirting boards regularly? The odd wipe down maybe, but not a 'proper' clean. I always use Dulux paint. But I also redecorate every 'few years'.   At least 3 years, the last lot yellowed within a year.

poppins   10 #15 Posted August 10, 2012 Brits take there paint very seriously , I actually brought a small tin of white gloss back with me to the US about 15 years ago to paint a small area around a window, it,s never yellowed but did start to peel year later, I think I put it on too thick though, didn't want to waste any. The paint in the US is not as good...so a professional painter once told me, egg shell paint is used the most here for interior walls, egg shell is just the texture, don't see much high gloss used at all in the US. I hear bus paint is used a lot in the uk, makes sense , what could be more hard wearing than that. I just had my house and deck painted last year, I chose stain over paint, paint eventually peels ,stain will fade, I chose fading.

Parvo   13 #19 Posted August 10, 2012 saw thing on telly about this. and yes it was due to additives being removed. (have to say some of the whitest gloss I've used was an ancient tin-fullof lead) one bit of advice was to use the low odour ones-they have less oils in them and its th oil that causes the yellowing.

gnvqsos   10 #21 Posted November 15, 2012 You are better off picking a traditional gloss paint which is oil-based,such as Leyland or Dactrylate,using a proper undercoat which is the base for any colour/pigmentation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cytine   40 #23 Posted November 15, 2012 I believe it's down to the EU's interference again. They have ordered manufacturers to change the ingredients used in paint, I don't exactly know what it is but the result is that paint is now yellowing. There was a big thing about it in the papers a while ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
