Raverbaby posts months. I found the "quick dry" gloss tends to stay white. Its water based, as opposed to oil I think.
Edited by Raverbaby on Sunday 30th May Thought i would resurrect this thread rather than starting another I have 2 doors and frames to paint this weekend - white. Last time i used Dulux Liquid Gloss Professional, but after a year has started to 'yellow' in areas which do not get the natural daylight.
The doors are bare wood, and the frames are white gloss currently. So, i understand i need to prime and undercoat the doors, and just undercoat the frames first. Any more recommendations for white paint that stays white? Would i be better using Dulux Satinwood non waterbased? What do you guys recommend? Best way to get a flat finish on a flat door is to take to door off if poss and lay it flat, then use a fine roller, get it on reasonably thick and it will self level to some degree, that will give you a very good smooth finish.
Use permoglaze undercoat and gloss its acrylic and will last for ages. Bit expensive but worth every penny. Remember preparation is the art to a good finish, always sand back and undercoat then apply gloss. You are sometimes better to put two thin coats of gloss on as opposed to one thicker coat gives a smooth deep finish. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

Viewed 22k times. When the paint dried the yellowing was very noticeable. Why did this happen? Was it the wood or the year old paint?
Should I buy new white paint? This is photo of the frame before priming and painting. Improve this question. What color was the door originally?
If you have yellowing that "comes and goes", run do not walk to the nearest paint store and get a paint chip for "pure white" or "snow white" or whatever they choose to call their actual white Munsell N Hold that up against the door as a reference. It is normal for ambient light to color-shift things, often significantly. Stop adding prime coats, once you have primed bare wood you don't need to prime it again except under specific special circumstances.
Either your paint is bad as in not tinted properly or too old or some incompatibility with the primed surface is occurring. The original door frame is raw wood I believe. It looked like pine or something Prep work is also a big factor in woodwork going yellow. A huge part of important prep is making sure to clean and sand any wood down before working with it to remove any color blemishes or other issues.
Incorrect prep work can also involve not sealing the wood before working with it, or using the wrong type of sealer, primer or undercoat. If your woodwork turns the dreaded yellow on you, there are some solutions available to you. You can attempt to clean your woodwork, expose it to more light, and even go right to covering it with another finish. You can attempt some basic cleaning for wood that has gone yellow with mild to moderate stains.
For stubborn, advanced yellow stains, you can try a more in-depth cleaning technique. Time to open those blinds! This time around, be sure to use quality products. Try applying a coat of interior-grade latex paint or primer and let it dry.
Then, protect it with a coat of sealant or varnish. The sealant and varnish should further protect the new paint from yellowing on your woodwork. Make sure to properly clean, sand and seal your woodwork before working with it further.
This will prevent any yellows from seeping through the woodwork, and from seeping through any paints and varnishes.
Like we discussed, oil-based paints have chemicals in them that have a tendency to yellow over time. To avoid any woodwork yellowing in the first place, try using a latex paint instead of an oil-based one. Coating your woodwork in a layer or two of urethane or polyurethane varnish or polish can help avoid any yellowing.
As you have probably learned by now, light is a big friend of woodwork that helps it not yellow. Also if cheap DIY paint has been used and not a good quality trade paint then this wont help either. A good quality water based paint will stay white unlike an oil based paint but will require more coats for a perfect finish. Paint manufacturers have to comply with the new health and safety guidlines now for VOCs so the paint has changed alot from a few years ago so better for your Health now ,but some would say not as good for decorating with.
Hi There. It really would have paid you to use a good double undercoat and then a dulux gloss. Also in my many years as a professional decorator it would have been better for you to visit a decent decorator outlet like brewers or dulux decorator centre rather then buy you paint of the shelf at a diy store. I hope this has helped you. Regards Dave.
