I really hate painting gloss. Trouble is, all the woodwork in our
(60s) house is painted white, and it's mostly looking grubby now, so
I'm going to have to re-paint it all. There's bloody miles of it,
plus some big panels on the stairs.

Is Sugar Soap good enough to prepare the surfaces? I'm thinking: a
good wash with Sugar Soap (and presumably a good rinse); undercoat
Dulux Professional Brilliant White; topcoat DPBW.

Can I get away with that?


I think a good sugar soaping would be fine, but have you considered getting
a few quotes to have it done by a decorator, seeing as you hate it so much
(as I do!). Might not be as expensive as you think.
