FAQ - General

Why has my internal woodwork painted with solvent based brilliant white gloss turned "yellow" over a period of time?

General discolouration occurs with all solvent based paints over a period of time, but is particularly noticeable when brilliant white has been used. Yellowing is speeded up when the painted surfaces are excluded from natural daylight. Nicotine and oil burning appliances will also discolour the paint. Acrylic Gloss will remain whiter for longer in such conditions.
