Thanks for the advice - am I best buying sugar soap from a local shed, or
can I make it with.. erm.. sugar and soap (spot the beginner..!!) ??
The paintwork / woodwork is in good nick as its only a few years old - just
the wrong colour !

All,
Yet another post for advice one decorating my flat..!
Is it essential to sand down and re-prime door frames before repainting
them
?? I'll be doing them in a very similar colour to what they are now.


No. I just wash my paintwork down with sugar soap to get any grease etc
off
(especially in the kitchen) lightly sand for a key and then gloss. If
there
are chips in the original top coat you'll need to deal with these first
tho'. You'll need the primer here.
