Ronseal RSLOCSWGP25L One Coat Stays Gloss Paint, White, 2.5 Litre

Product Information

You have the traditional oil-based gloss, which turns yellow over time. Water-based gloss, which stays white forever, but generally leaves a substandard finish. Then hybrid gloss, which is a compromise between oil and water. Originally developed for ships, the Rust-Oleum Universal Paint is a durable paint and primer combined, offering long-lasting protection from scratches and scrapes. You’re not likely to get much rust on your skirting boards, but this paint is nevertheless very popular, offering exceptional coverage with its unique formulation. It’s easy to apply and delivers a smooth finish. Unusually for an oil-based paint, it touches dry in two hours and can withstand storms at sea, as well as bad treatment from the most boisterous family members. The result was the yellowing of paint over time, with some gloss paints yellowing in a matter of months or even weeks after application. Not ideal when looking for a long-lasting white finish and a white gloss paint that doesn’t yellow.

While it’s personal preference when choosing what type of paint base to use, either oil-based or water-based. For the best results and to avoid yellowing of gloss paint the solution is a high-quality water-based paint, A Water-based gloss paint will not yellow over time.While some paints can leave a strong odour for a lengthy period of time, you won’t get that problem with Brilliant White Gloss is a product which seems to be used less and less nowadays, however it can still look brilliant in the right place, be it in a colour or brilliant ‘in your face’ white. I thought I’d do a Dulux Trade gloss review for you, but I’m also going to mention a couple of other gloss products from Dulux which may be of interest. There’s no requirement for an undercoat, while the coverage of 16 metres per litre means the tin we’re testing could cover 40 square metres in one go. The issue has affected all oil-based gloss paint manufacturers within the UK. Where the solution has been the development of more robust water-based gloss paints with low odour and low VOC contents that don’t yellow. The Solution is a Water-Based Non-Yellowing Gloss Paint

Unfortunately, an unknown side effect of the introduction of additional drying oil components resulted. With previous well-established paint mixtures boasting long-lasting white gloss finish the new mixtures failed to provide the same quality that many homeowners came to expect from their paint finish. The yellowing of gloss paint is such a big issue for many homeowners because of the unappealing shade that develops over time causing the once fresh and bright finish to turn dull and creates an almost dirty look to the surface. So, it’s no wonder that people looking for white gloss paint that doesn’t yellow has increased. In 2010 came the introduction of the European Union’s Industrial Emissions Directive (IED – Directive 2010/75/EU) which puts emission limits on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) contents within industrial activities. This directive is then enacted in the UK by the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 SI 675. The result is a restriction of VOC contents within the paint industry. Gloss paint isn’t very good at hiding imperfections so the secret to get a nice smooth finish with gloss paint is to firstly prepare the surface beforehand. You can do this by sanding down any imperfections which takes us to the next step. Cover everything you don’t want to get paint on with a dust sheet. Our paint it drip resistant but not accident-proof.

It’s funny, a few years ago, Johnstone’s Aqua was widely regarded as the best white water-based gloss paint available. However, comparing it to the more modern Teknos Futura 90 just outlines its flaws. It is still good, but it’s harder to apply, can damage your brushes and turns yellow after a couple of years. Even with a specific roller for gloss, you’ll want to lay it off with a good gloss brush once you’re done just to make sure you get that nice, smooth finish. How do you get a smooth finish with gloss paint? There’s a decent choice of colours (nine, including magnolia and the white we’re testing here), but no finishes are available other than gloss. This paint isn’t marketed as brilliant white, though users seem quite satisfied with its hue.

Whilst we wouldn’t recommend SCRUBBING any paint surfaces, gloss paint is able to withstand a rub down with soap and water The best things about Ronseal One Coat is that it’s scratch and scuff resistant, heat resistant and most importantly stays white! Johnstone’s get a rating of 5/5 for durability whilst scoring highly when it comes to ease of use and how easy it is to clean which is essential with British weather!Gloss paint is one of our favourites to use and gives you a nice, shiny finish you wouldn’t get with other types of paint. If you’re looking for something to use in your interior or exterior, this has you covered! We’ve used this paint in the past and found it’s a particularly good choice when we’re painting in commercial environments due to its speedy dry time. We always get a high quality finish from it and would definitely recommend it. You need a natural bristle paintbrush to apply oil-based gloss, otherwise the paint will clog within half an hour or so. Your best bet is the Hamilton Perfection, which is an oil-school brush, but still a favourite amongst Decorators. You will be able to apply gloss paint and lay it off with ease. Available online here.

Last but not least, you want a foam roller for the larger flat areas. These help you apply an even layer of gloss in less time, thus achieving a better finish. Any foam roller will do, but the Rota Concave stands out as the best, simply because their shape means you avoid tram lines. Available online here.There is another little frustration to tell you about, Dulux Trade gloss can “creep”. So say you do your walls, then cut a lovely straight line down a doorframe with your Dulux Trade gloss. Some gloss may ‘creep’ a few millimeters from your doorframe onto your wall. This means your lovely straight line is no longer lovely and straight. You will need to then touch your emulsion up again. However, with the introduction of water-based gloss paint – is proving to be in high demand for many homeowners due to its unique characteristics over traditional oil-based solvent gloss paint. Could this be the solution for white gloss paint that doesn’t yellow? Don’t press too hard because you want the brush fibres to remain as close together as possible as this prevents brush marks But let’s not get too bogged down with the science of paint. All I want to do in this blog, is talk about what I think are the three best white gloss products on the market. I can only go off my personal experience, so I apologise if your favourite isn’t on the list. However, I am a massive product geek, so I have tried a large proportion of the gloss paints that are available. Whilst you can use a roller for gloss paint, you’ll almost always get the best finish with a paint brush.
