Great gloss finish that yellows after 6 months
Made the mistake thinking price and reputation = quality.
I painted all my trims and doors. Undercoat then 2 coats of white Aquanamel Gloss.
The flow of the paint is good and the gloss and hardness is excellent.
Expect 12 hours to dry before you can recoat.
Unfortunately, there is clear yellowing after 6 months on any shaded or semi-shaded area that was painted.
Areas that see indirect sunlight in well lit rooms have gone yellow after 1 year. i.e. all the trim and doors etc.
After 18 months the yellowing is so obvious you can plainly see it. It looks gross and dirty.
I have started repainting everything again. Never again, what a waste of effort.
Purchased in April 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse.

Wasted work
Used Dulux Super Enamel High Gloss Vivid White to paint all interior wood work (doors, architraves, skirting, etc) including some shelves made from mdf. This paint is rubbish when used on areas not subject to light, eg back of doors in cupboards, architraves in cupboards, shelves where something sits on the paint like a book or ornament. The paint quickly yellows and looks terrible in a short time. Apparently this can be a problem with this paint; shame the salesman didn't point this out at point of purchase. My fault; I should have done so...Read more
me research but went to Dulux due to the name being synonymous with quality and reliability; in this case how wrong was I? Now have to repaint all the affected areas and find a paint I can trust; any suggestions?Purchased in September 2021 at K&D Warehouse for A$100.00.

Disappointed and Saddened
After browsing several options for a suitable high gloss finish online, i chose Dulux for the job. What a mistake.
The paint was used on a 9mm plywood project. I used british paints 4 in 1 primer/sealer/undercoat as the base and i can honestly say british paints has it in spades. It's a beautiful creamy paint that gave a superb finish.
I applied three coats of the 4 in 1, sanded in between, then another coat and sanded by hand. exceptionally smooth surface ready for the topcoat.
I had great expectations for an excellent finish, but was...Read more

The finish to die for
Used Dulux Hi-Gloss on trim and door in a spare bedroom. I took my time doing the job. Two undercoats, sanding in between. Then used a small foam roller, again sanding between the two top coats. For large flat surfaces a roller is a must. You will not achieve the same finish with a brush. The finish I achieved is as close as I am ever going to get to perfection. Achieved an almost mirror finish on the doors. The paint is beautiful to apply and tensions up on drying to give a super flat surface, but you need to do a lot of preparation. However it's worth it. Brilliant paint.

Outstanding oil-based enamel, beautiful finish
Elated by the finish with this paint. Consistently excellent. I have used it both externally and internally for years, but I just finished repainting a chest of drawers with the leftovers of what I used on my garage door and finish is so great I had to review it.
There are no shortcuts though. you have to be prepared to put down a good undercoat and two top coats, follow the drying time and sand lightly between coats. Also you have to work in a clean environment. dust, sand flies, lint really detract from it, so my tip is keep your surrounding...Read more

Questions & Answers
Ellyasked
I have used Zinnser as an undercoat over old cleaned paint( Light Rice) on a door. I have just applied the 2nd coat of your paint (Light Rice) again - using the correct roller but the paint is not drying with a high gloss. Have I done something wrong?. I have allowed more than 16 hours between each coat,
This week I used the same paint on several door frames using both a roller and a paintbrush and the gloss is OK.
I am hesitant to paint any of the other doors if I get the same result - shiny frames and matt door!!!

This morning I painted the other side of the door using a wide paint brush and it has a nice gloss on it. I shall do the 2nd coat tomorrow with a brush. In fact all the doors I still have to do will be done with a brush

Chrisasked
Hi,
I’m repainting a bedroom & the old oil trims are not cracked or flaking. If I were to lightly sand back the existing paint would I need to prime before applying Dulux Super enamel?
4 answers
no, you don't need to re-prime. you can use oil based paint over waterbased if the surface is prepared properly to a 400-600 grit, but you can't use waterbased paint over an enamel surface. it should come up good. I recommend haymes trim enamel for outstanding results.
Hi Chris, it never hurts to use a coat of primer but I believe you should be fine without it. All the best with your DIY.
Thank you.
