OK, so it isn't that difficult but getting right paint is!!
I was determined to use a water based paint on a door frame but in common with a lot of people on here was unhappy with the finish so have decided to re-do the job using oil-based paint.
One thing I've never done before (I know, I know) is use an undercoat. I usually just sand and paint with gloss; I guess it's not a massive surprise that it goes yellow so quickly.
My question is, what undercoat to use. If I'm using an oil based gloss do I need to use an oil based undercoat? I've looked at the Dulux website and the only oil based undecoat it does is the Professional range which I suspect will be runny and difficult to use for us DIYers. (Sorry to say but I'm a strict non-drip gloss man!!
Dulux do a water based undercoat but can this be used with an oil based gloss? My fear with this is that the finish will be the same as I experienced with water based gloss (i.e. poor) and this will then mean a bad finish once I put the gloss one?
