Is Sugar Soap good enough to prepare the surfaces? I'm thinking:
a good
wash with Sugar Soap (and presumably a good rinse); undercoat

Professional Brilliant White; topcoat DPBW.

I HATE "Glossing", not so much the actual painting but the sheer
effort involved in keeping everything clean (ie brushes after
painting,
carpet whilst it is on going, wall paper if leaving it on after
painting
etc.)

I've totally given up washing gloss paint brushes. At the end of the
day I wrap them tightly in cling film. Next day I smooth them out with
a rag soaked in white spirit and carry on painting. At the end of the
job the brush gets thrown away and a new one bought for the next job.
Saves a huges amount of time and considerable amounts of white spirit.
