I have the not insignificant job of repainting all the skirting, doors frames, doors, banisters etc etc in my house. The whole lot was done by a "professional" decorator when i moved in 6 years ago and all the gloss work is now more yellow than the magnolia on the walls mad

Whats the current PH experts opinions on what paint doesnt go yellow after five minutes, i have several rooms which dont get a lot of sunlight due to a chuffing great oak tree at the front of the house, which no doubt hasnt helped.

Any suggestion on whats best to use appreciated.

Thanks for all the responses, going to give the Johnstones a go as they have a decorators centre near to me.

Hardly the painter's fault after six years biggrin

As above, water based satinwood.
I didn't intend it to come across as i was having a go and it was the decorators fault, he did a great job, just let down by his materials gloss wise, the rest still looks remarkably good, like its just been done... he used Leyland trade stuff which i believe is Johnstones anyway.

That was a blast from the past, OP here, ended up using the following with matching undercoat.

Two coats of undercoat and two top coats and 5 years on still looks reasonably good. It’s still not as white as it was freshly applied but it’s acceptable.
