Gloss paint and age-discolouration

Aug 03, 2003 1 Replies

My preferred colour of gloss paint for interiour doors, frames and skirting boards is pure white. The big disadvantage however, is that pure white oil-based gloss always turns to cream after a few years. Is there a one-coat white gloss that does not discolour with age? Alternatively, is there a light-coloured gloss that still looks good after it has age-discoloured (other than cream or magnolia)?



Thanks

Acrylic gloss doesn't discolour but the ones I've used are extremely soft compared to solvent based paint. Good for exterior stuff where access is difficult and/or there's not going to be a lot of mechanical wear and tear.
