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

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.

You really want Dulux Aquatech acrylic white gloss, though Dulux are bringing out a satinwood acrylic early in 2007, you may have to ring around at first to get hold of some.

Generally Satin wood is better than Gloss in that it hides bumps and lumps better and gives a flatter finish.

All acrylic finishes will stay white. My hallway was glossed with the Dulux 6 years ago and still looks white, if you hold a white piece of paper against it only then can you detect a slight discolouration probably due to smoke and pollution.

IT DOES NOT CHIP, I don't know about Everwhite, but hard gloss spirit based gloss chips really easily, the acrylic is slightly softer - plastic really, and is much, much harder to chip AND crack.

It can scuff off a surface if it is not correctly prepared with a primer/undercoat, otherwise it is as tough as you like. Also watch out for greasey surfaces.

Application is easier for the dulux as it is more of a gel than normal gloss.

Other makes of acrylic gloss I have used seem to have very little pigment in them and are best avoided.

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.
