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.

Use this not aquanamel if you want a beautiful finish in less coats
Tried aquanamel for stained wood trim over both water based and oil based primers. Big fail. Found a tin of super enamel I had for about 6 years but never used it. Opened the tin, gave it a good stir and already after just 1 coat on an oil based primer it’s looking amazing. See my other review on the cruddy finish from Aquanamel and you’ll feel my pain. This is 2 thumbs up. Don’t get paint expert from a dulux rep, he said there were no advantages of oil based over water based enamel. Come to my house buddy and I will show you!

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!!!
