I live in a terraced house a bit like this http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0cYFg7ycdT4Or/340x.jpg and am planning to paint the front door and porch.

Front door, no probs, I'm clear on that.

But the porch had previously been painted in gloss but I'm thinking that using a masonry matt paint would look better and more 'normal'!

I've sanded it all down etc, but now I'm not sure what type of primer or undercoat to use. I've had a look in B&Q and the undercoats suggest that they should be topcoated with gloss.

I really feel like I should know what to use but I don't so I'd be grateful for any advice.

Many thanks.

Use an oil based undercaot but give it about a week to cure..then do your masonry paint over it.
