i have some dulux gloss paint already but want to know do i just whack it on over the paint thats on the door or does the old gloss need to be removed and if so how?

thanks

If the gloss is all flaking etc then yes..youll need to take it off..otherwise a nice rub down, undercoat and then gloss

 

[pinkbambi]

sand paper by hand? and then can i buy a gloss undercoat? I am starting to get tired contemplating the job! lol

Just a normal oil based undercoat. one coat then a gentle sand again and a top coat of gloss.

Regarding painting that radiator - if I were you I would'nt use any ordinary oil based gloss paint it will quickly yellow. (Sorry Robbie) Hammerite Radiator paint has anti-yellowing properties designed for this job. Rustins also make it. You can buy it as a spray or standard paint either comes in gloss or satin. Happy painting!
