White Gloss Paint Going Yellow.

[pussyfoot]

What is the best gloss paint to use without it going yellow after a few months?
TIA.

Leyland Trade Brilliant White Gloss is supposed to be a good make.

[Sycamore3House]

Deluxe, Crown, Johnsons, Sandersons anything but cheap own brands

Never buy brilliant white - that's the one that goes yellow.

I like Dulux Trade High Gloss White

Hi Pussyfoot,

A quality paint from a specialist paint shop NOT mixed in a DIY shop like B&Q...so Dulux or Crown etc....
There could be a number of reasons why the paintwork is going yellow quickly, but the most common ones are probably poor preparation where the woodwork has not been cleaned down properly, especially if it is or has been a home of heavy smokers and the nicotine staining is bleeding through the finished coat. Real open fires can cause staining as well. This will be worse if a water based gloss was used and a sealer was not applied first. If the rooms are constantly very warm then the paint tends to yellow quickly.Also if cheap DIY paint has been used and not a good quality trade paint then this wont help either.A good quality water based paint will stay white unlike an oil based paint but will require more coats for a perfect finish.
Dulux specialist shop or Brewers would be an ideal option to buy your paint from....I hope you sort it out, pussyfoot...oh I would also give whatever you're painting a good double underdogs then gloss it...results will look much better. Good luck :-)

Just Google the problem. You will see that EU regulations in 2010 have meant a reformulation of the paint. As a result pure brilliant white goes yellow more quickly.

Strangely enough daylight keeps it white longer, and it yellows more quickly in low light. You can see this when you move an ornament that is on a white windowsill. The paint beneath it will be more yellow.

Ha ha, yogi-bear, I read all your answer before scrolling down to see the correction. I was scratching my head a bit not being very good at D.I.Y. I started planning my route to Battersea. :)

The best way to avoid being annoyed by this is simple. Don't choose white.

One option that can look good is to go for cream.
