I'm fed up with my gloss paint going discoloured so for my next stint of decorating I'm going to use acrylic/eggshell paint.

Do I need to use a different undercoat than what I have used for gloss?

Eggshell is self-undercoating , apply 2 coats as one (acrylic coat)probably wont cover.youll need to rub down the gloss to provide a good key for the acrylic..
Acrylic wil not give you the same quality of finish as an oil-based paint though..Its hard work trying to eradicate brushmarks..
