I want to paint some interior doors and skirting boards. They were
last painted about 15 years ago and are doors to a bathroom and to an
airing cupboard. Apart from looking jaded the painted surface is not
damaged.

I'll probably use one coat of oil-based undercoat and one coat of
non-drip gloss topcoat.

I don't want to go for an award winning job! But at the same time I
don't want to cut corners unwisely.


QUESTION 1: For preparation can I just sand these down with a fine
glasspaper? Or do I need to also use sugar soap? If so then would
the sugar soap be applied before or after the glasspapering?

Wash off as you say, then a light rub with fine glass paper to
de-nib.


QUESTION 2: Is it worth using any special bathroom paint? The
ordinary gloss paint used before is not mould stained or anything
like that but it would be nice if the whiteness could be retained for
as long as possible.

It's not worth using any special bathroom paint.
