Gloss Paint

Post by Northern Lass »

I have to do some glossing.
So please don't gloss over this post....(see what I did there :wink: :roll: )

I usually use Dulux Gloss non drip
but a few years ago they had a problem with the paint turning yellow
think they fixed this.

But I tried some of their dulux non drip brilliant white high sheen and I was not impressed with it.
Took ages for the smell to fade and is still too strong....and it seemed tacky and bitty.

So....can anyone recommend a good gloss or alternative Dulux non drip gloss.
has to be non drip as I can't stand the runs on non non drip gloss .

I do like the Dulux paint so if there is an alternative non drip Dulux I would use that one.

any make.....suggestions please :grin:

I've used Satinwood on all of our woodwork for the last couple of years Northern Lass and no yellowing so far even under ornaments etc which is normally worst.Apparently the paint manufacturers are aware of the problem with Gloss and are trying to find alternative additives to resolve.
It all stems from an EU directive a few years back which restricted the amount of certain chemicals that could be included - including the one that prevents yellowing.
So lets not gloss over the problem of yellowing it's the fault of the EU !! Thank god for Brexit !! :roll:

Yes I've used it and i we haven't noticed any yellowing, and I haven't suffered any symptoms that the strong odours cause.

Good luck happy glossing
