Would anyone care to recommend a gloss, primarily for pre- primed MDF
skirting although it would be also used for a couple of doors if there
is any over.

Minimal work and maximum shine [white] is the goal :-)

Dulux, Leyland. Others also recommend crown, I don't buy it. The usual suspects.

Leyland is a bit different to the others, it doesn't have much opacity in the topcoat. So you get a great finish but need the undercoat to be properly white first, you can't one-coat with it. It's probably my favourite.

Thank you, Johnstones it is then. [I like the soft sheen emulsion BTW]

I was going to gloss onto the preprimed MDF.

Alas there are no short cuts I suppose :-(

You can get one coat gloss paints, but I find it hard to get a good
finish with them. YMMV.

Johnstones do one that is self undercoating - so you just use a couple
of coats of that... slightly easier than conventional approaches -
results were not too bad IIRC.
