As far as I can tell, these bathroom
kitchen paints are exactly the same as the water based acrylic
eggshell that you would use on your woodwork.


I haven't used that (eggshell for wood) before. What is it like?

SWMBO wants the woodwork white. Oil-based gloss gives a lovely smooth
finish but it yellows. I tried the water based gloss by Dulux and
although it does not yellow, I didn't like the finish, which shows
brush marks and is not as smooth as oil-based gloss. There seems to be
a shift towards thee water-based paints and it worries me they are not
good enough yet.
