Default Aquatech Gloss not opaque after 1 undercoat 1 gloss coat. Glidden Trade acrylic.

Hi,

I've been using Aquatech Gloss and undercoat on interior gloss
woodwork. After painting some gloss white woodwork that hadn't been
painted for 20 years so it was faded so compared to the new brilliant
white. I put one coat of undercoat on the one of gloss. In places I
could faintly see the previous colour through the new paint if you
looked closely. It says on the tin that you should apply one or two
coats of both undercoat and gloss. If I had to put on two coats of each
this would drive me insane as I would feel I'd never finish the entire
interior of the house.

Is Glidden Trade Acrylic any better in terms of opacity. I'm
considering just doing the place with a single coat gloss paint (Could
you please recommend one that will give a good finish).

I started out with the thought of painting with it in mind that I would
stay in this house for a long period of time in the future so I got the
acrylic stuff. Circumstances have changed and will probably move in 12
months time. So the paint has to look good for 12-24months until we
sell.
