Went to look at paint today at Focus and all brand said Pure Brilliant
White. ISTR someone saying don't use Dulux PBW because it will yellow
quickly but are all brands the same?

What should I get?

Good rule of thumb with paint - the more you pay the better it is, Stick to
Dulux or Crown, avoid own label brands.

Most will use the same pigment - titanium oxide IIRC - but the covering
power varies enormously, roughly proportionately to the price.

What should I get?

I only ever use Dulux, or for special paints International Paint or
Hammerite

All whites yellow over time. Brilliant white is better than flake
white, cremnitz white etc in this respect. Leyland white gloss is good
stuff too.

But some faster than others: there was a very enlightening exchange in
here a few days ago (forgotten the thread!) where it was explained that
oil-based yellow faster than water based, and that Pure Brilliant White
will deteriorate quickly if it never sees the light of day, because it's
designed to thrive on ultraviolet light - !

(which is probably the reason for the origin of this thread)

It's not that complicated. It's the resin that yellows, not the pigment.
The acrylics don't yellow at all, but they have no resistance to wear
and tear.

I am after recommendations for white gloss for radiator pipes.
Very many years ago (too many to be representative of anything
you would buy today), I did some in Dulux and some in Crown,
and the Crown went yellow in a few months.

Also, I've got some copper pipes which I would like to polish
up. What would be a good laqueur to maintain the fresh copper
look?

Yes it was. However, I didn't have time to look around to find some
trade paint and all that Focus had was PBW (in various brands) Ended up
buying Crown PBW liquid gloss.

Hear, hear.

I no longer buy Focus own brand anything, since IME it's all crap.

Matches their shop assistants for the most part.

Oh well, this morning Dulux (ICI) announced it's being bought
by Crown (Akzo Nobel).
