I've just fixed some pine quadrant, where the worktop

'Valspar
all purpose primer/undercoat for wood and metal'
(circa
1980's).

It's cream/off white colour, it dries to a sheen,
somewhere between gloss and matt. "Great, it matches
the rest of the kitchen perfectly" says the missus.
The
problem is, I've bought some brilliant white topcoat.

I could add another layer of undercoat. Are there any
characteristics, which prevent it being used as a
topcoat - it's likely to get splashed. TIA.

The problem is its matt, so wil get dirty and not wipe
clean. you
could varnish it, or get some top coat colour matched.


Thanks NT, it's between a gloss and a matt, so it does
have a slight sheen. I'll use my topcoat in the
meantime. Next year I'll check out Dulux's cream or
off-white.
