We're decorating the 1st room in our new house.
1) There is existing skirting painted in yellowing gloss with some chips.
2) There is dark hardwood unvarnished window frame and cill with a heavy grain we would like to achieve smooth finish on
3) New bare pine architrave/door frame/trim
From what I've read on the forum thus far, Johnstone's Aqua based gloss seems very popular for a non yellowing gloss finish.
My question is - what primer/undercoat do I need to apply to each of the 3 types of wood before the top coats? Is there one that will do all 3?
I have the same problem in each of the other 5 rooms in the house so buying an expensive tin for this job is not necessarily of concern- it will be used again. I just want to achieve the best finish possible for a competent DIYer.
Thanks for your help.
