Hi
I am busy decorating my hall, stairs and landing and have lots of painting to do, including paneling.
The skirting, door frames and handrail have all previously been glossed, the doors are painted with white satinwood.
I have been lurking on here and have read all the issues regarding yellowing of white paint, especially dulux gloss.
I have decided I would like to stay clear of gloss and use a satin. After much deliberation I have picked up crown undercoat and primer(W/B) and Antique Cream ( W//B)
I have sanded down my existing gloss but there is layers of the damn stuff.
Do I need to get it all off or will I be ok just ensuring there are no loose flakes left before using the primer/ undercoat( it is an all in one)?
Can I then just wash it all down with plain water or should I use sugar soap?
I don't want my paint peeling off.
My panels are Easi Panels and it says they don't need priming or undercoat but I suspect they will be rather thirsty so planned to use the crown primer/ undercoat on these too before painting the antique cream.
Would this be ok and worth doing?
I have another question as my parents and I disagree on one thing so any opinions would be gratefully received.
Is is best to paint the skirting, door frames , stair handrail
and doors white, then the panels (3ft) the antique cream or do you think the cream would look better on everything?
Or any other combo for that matter eg rad and doors white, rest cream.......
This is my first big decorating job in this house and I don't have that much confidence so any help and or advice would be fab
