About 6 months ago I applied some Wickes Eggshell white paint to skirting, picture rail etc. Now it is beginning to yellow, probably because our house is quite dark. Does anybody have any suggestions for non-yellowing eggshell? I don't like the waterbased acrylic stuff as it doesn't smooth out easily and ends up with brush marks.

I have used Johnstones eggshell with good results .Available from your dec merchants Stuart
Solvent based and non-yellowing is a tall oder. Bondaglass used to do a specialist urethane paint used to do the platform edges on the London Underground. IIRC it lasted around 6 months, which isn't bad going considering the foot traffic. Acrylic undercoat is much easier to work than the gloss, and possibly you could generate a sheen with some fine abrasive.
