QUOTE(Ryannate @ Aug 6 2016, 08:20 PM) I assumed that was gloss paint. Normally painter will mixed with turpentine or thinner to dilute d paint for easier to apply. That's the reason it will turn yellowish regardless brand. Is in under explosure or explosure to sunlight? No internal doors. No mix with anything. It's matt not glossy |

Do you throw away left over paint? I don’t. I try to save some for touch ups later in the future. Problem is the old paint cans don’t seal well after a few times opening and closing the lid.
I found some plastic jerry cans with an air tight cap and cover. They come in a few sizes. I bought the 2 liter ones which I think is enough. These cost me RM6.25 each at Ace Hardware  |

QUOTE(ozak @ Feb 26 2018, 08:49 AM) Too big leh. Mostly leftover paint for my case is less than a liter. ya agreed, should come in plastic canisters Mostly I use ICI paint. ICI now come with plastic can and a small top cover to open. Very handy and open/close hundred time without problem. No rust if store long too. Every paint brand should change the tin can to plastic can. Don't understand why still pack in tin can.  |

QUOTE(ozak @ Aug 27 2018, 08:39 AM) 2 reason. Sifu, you know any white paint for wooden doors that won’t yellow?1) Bad base paint. The white base paint is not a premier paint and just a normal white cheap paint. If you use your hand to wipe across, your hand stick with the white powdery form. 2) You use too much water on the nippon paint. Thinning too much. I used Nippon white matt, after a couple years yellowish already. Can i repaint it will water soluble paint ?(for walls type) |

QUOTE(slimey @ Aug 31 2018, 11:26 AM) No. Oil based very fast yellow wanUse sand paper to sand down the old paint. (Just to remove some paint and rough up a bit for new paint to stick) Then use oil base paint to paint door. Any paint will change color over time due to uv and pollution, dirt, smoke. I read somewhere says there are now water based for wood now. Satinwood? |

QUOTE(ozak @ Aug 31 2018, 09:17 PM) Boss, you can try this Dulux Diamond White acrylic eggshell. ok thanks....will look into it.Or any satin wood paint. Than coat with Minwax Polycrylic. All is water base which not easy urn yellow. Don't use any ammonia base cleaner to wipe clean the white surface. i wonder if need to sand off my existing oil based paint or not? |
