Hey everyone,
We have a old skirting boards which were covered in gloss, not very well. We've sanded these down to key the gloss and get rid of any runs, I'm wondering if we're best to paint with:
* Water based satinwood
* Water based eggshell
In general I do like a really matt and flat finish, so that would suggest eggshell however, will this work out well over skirting boards which aren't in the best condition, and is it a pain to use compared to the satinwood?
I'm wanting to use something all in one - I know water based satinwood doesn't need a primer when going over keyed gloss, can the same be said for eggshell, I assume so? Oh and most of the boards are 'traditional wood' as I'd put it but some (in the bay) are MDF skirtings, which were glossed but again I have keyed.
Any tips/suggestions most appreciated. The walls above the skirting have lining paper on atm but will be painted with trade matt.
Thanks!
