wednesday1 Â Â 10 #1 Posted August 9, 2012 I painted some skirting boards and picture rails with Crown brilliant white gloss paint a few years ago, within a year or two they had significant yellowing, despite the claims on the tin which stated it was non-yellowing. What is the best paint brand to resist this yellowing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What is the best paint brand to resist this yellowing?  Hmmm, Crown is up there with Dulux as a top brand. Maybe yellowing only happens with gloss because a couple of years ago I panted my skirting boards, door frames and stair case hand rail with a satinwood finish paint, and there is absolutely no yellowing.

Leah-Lacie   10 #3 Posted August 9, 2012 I'm not sure that any really do stay gleaming white for any real length of time. Just do what my granny used to do and give them a wipe down with very watered down bleach once a year or so. That does the trick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PeteMorris   10 #8 Posted August 9, 2012 I painted some skirting boards and picture rails with Crown brilliant white gloss paint a few years ago, within a year or two they had significant yellowing, despite the claims on the tin which stated it was non-yellowing. What is the best paint brand to resist this yellowing?  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'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
