What gloss paint ???? Oil or water ??? Debate

[GRUNT16V]

Hi all
Probebly been covered many times but i thought i would ask
Im old school and like oil based products i love the
Application and finish i was stung big time with dulux gloss
So thought i would try johnstones oil based ultra gloss was this
A good move or should i go for johnstones aqua gloss ????
I hate it going yellow after 6 months
Any help would be great

indoors or out?

do you like a glossy gloss?

 

[GRUNT16V]

Yes inside and yes the boss (wife) likes gloss so if she does then i do

it'll go yellow in six weeks never mind months. Aqua is the way forward but not easy to apply.

Thanks i have now gone for the johnstones aqua
As for brushes should i go purdys , harris
Or one of those dulux fine finish jobbies ??
Cheers

Always a decent synthetic brush for aqua. I tend to use Purdy for this but have been impressed with hamilton perfection gold!

Any decent synthetic with the white tips will do. Thin the paint about 5% and apply without over brushing. It can give outstanding results but it is very unforgiving re application.

I will be painting over 3 year old oil based gloss
Shall i paint 2 coats of w/b gloss or shall i use the
Aqua undercoat first then w/b gloss ??

Has appeared zinsser bullseye1-2-3 any good ??
Will this work ??
Cheers

Oil undercoat works a treat.
