Hi...I am not a painter/decorator by any stretch of the imagination...but need to white gloss some skirting and a door frame that has been painted black. How would you do it ?
Cheers

Get a tin of paint...dip a brush in...put the brush on the skirting and rub it bacwards and forwards is probably the best method mate!
Ok sorry..im kidding
Give the paint work a rub down first, then two coats of undercoat followed by one coat of gloss
By decent paint not home brand stuff or cheap sht from the pound shop..its a false economy.
Do the frames first then the skirting..that way you wont transfer any muck from the floor onto the door frame

pheww...glad you was only kidding when you advised the back and forward method....as I was thinking of forward then back 
my concern was the black showing through....obviously not a concern at all....
