Is there any white gloss paint that doesn't yellow??

Hi All!

And a very happy 2006 to everyone

I've been redecorating over the past few months and have been noticing that the white gloss Crown paint has gone very yellow within a matter of months. It looks like the paint has been there for several years (it's that bad).

Anyone used any good gloss white that has remained white?

TIA

Hi folks and happy new year!

Thanks for all the replies.

I agree the water based white interior paint doesn't yellow but I found the finish very poor, mainly because it appears to dry instantly making the brush drag. It did with the one I used but I can't recall what make that was. I eneded up having to sand it off and repaint it with ordinary gloss.

I don't think I tried B&Q ever white so I may give that a go.

I've also found that drippy gloss brilliant white yellows a lot less than the non-drip version of the same brand.

Thanks again.

I've decided to go with a light grey/taupe colour in satin instead of the gloss white. This will be a nice contrast (but not too dark) to the white walls. All dado rails, skirtings and doors will be this colour. I tried it in the lounge and it looks nice, rather classy with the radiator covers in the same colour too.

Use the Dulux Trade range. It's a bit pricier than the rest, but easily the best paint I've used.

I've used their silk emulsion and it's excellent. Good coverage and very durable.

You can tell it's better paint than the DIY stuff as it is much harder to wash out the roller.

I'll have a look for their gloss white and give it a try.

Good god, my old thread from last January - where on earth did you find this?

Thank you for the advice and I will be trying that paint.

After Jan'06 I tried the everwhite and it wasn't nice to apply, gave a poor finish and chipped easily so I went with a Dulux satinwood and that has also yellowed but I did redecorate the entire house and used a cream emulsion on the walls to cover the white I had just finished
So yellowing of the woodwork is a lot less noticeable than it was but it is still looking yellow as it ages.

It appears lack of UV yellows paint since the woodwork I painted in lighter rooms is OK.
