The woodwork inside our house needs repainting -- we've been in the

moved in!

All of it (ALL of it!) is gloss white. Having tried acrylic a few
years ago, and also "one-coat", I'm still most comfortable with
undercoat and top coat ( Dulux Brilliant White).

Are there new products that I ought to try? The ranges in paint these
days are staggering.

Also, I might want to change one or two rooms to be a little more
colourful -- pastels, in what we used to call "silk" finish.

I thought I would ask here first because then I'd know where
to make a beeline, when I go a-browsing down the aisles.

Thanks for any advice!

Well I just rubbed downm hard with IIRC about 250 grit anmd applied
farrow and ball water based whatever.

Takes a long time to set really hard but it grips and the finish is good
esp. if rolled on.

I suspect its not the only decent paint around as well.
