Hi Lynn, Paint can be very confusing as their are so many types and it canbe aimed at the DIYer or the professional. Most of the larger manufacturers have solved the yellowing problems in a lot of paints since the changes to VOC content came a couple of years ago. In my experience I do not see this as such a big problem anymore if you buy the correct paint. When buying your paint go to the manufacturer outlet i.e Johnstones decorating Centre: johnstonestrade store-finder Dulux Trade: duluxdecoratorcentre instore/index Crown Decorating Centre: crowndecoratorcentre StoreDirectoryList Speak to the staff and get their advice from the feed back they get from tradesmen. I use Crown "Full Gloss" which when applied has a yellow tint to the white (Ironic I know) and when dries it goes brilliant white. This is a reaction of their anti yellowing agent. It has a high Gloss finnish and good adhession to surfaces and is good at filling small scratches as you paint. The surface is very durable after one week as the paint will cure within this time. The paint is for trades people so is quite thin therefor do not over load your brush but as a result the coverage is very good and it spreads when on the surface which eradicates brush marks. Use this in conjunction with their quality undercoat and you should have a good finnish that lasts. Hope this helps Gary
