The woodwork inside our house needs repainting -- we've been in the
house over 30 years, and I've only spasmodically repainted the woodwork
in bits and pieces. Some of it has never been painted since before we
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.

I haven't done any of my own since you could still buy the high
volatiles (even if it meant asking the guy to climb up the shelving
and reach for the last few tins at the back).

I did help out a friend who had bought Dulux Once one-coat gloss.
It was brilliant white when we put it on, but had gone yellow a
few weeks later.
