I'm going to be replacing alot of the skirting in my new house and would like recommendations on what primer + paint combo to use. I'm also repainting the existing woodwork + doors.
I'd like a nice slightly shiny finish that can be wiped down easily and wont yellow badly (I've heard the dulux problem has been fixed now? So long as I look out for the tins with the triangle on them).
I was thinking of buying:
http://www.wickes.co.uk/universal-primer-paint-white-25l/invt/214265/
for the primer (needs to cover just under 4m2 of new pine skirting and 1 door 6m2)
And:
http://www.wickes.co.uk/dulux-trade-satinwood-pbw-25l/invt/106497/
For the top coat, internal doors and some architrave. Needs to do around 16m2 so I'm thinking I'll have to get a second tin, perhaps the 750ml size.
One additional question is that some of the door frames have been painted a light caramel/chocolate colour and I'm not sure whether I'm meant to put undercoat or something similar on first? Or if it will just want a couple of coats of whatever topcoat paint I buy.
