Gloss for sure, never heard of painting your wood work in matt.Save that for the walls - it would look strange if it were all matt.Just my thoughts i could be wrong though , maybe a new trend to do your woodwork in matt?

Satin.

What colour? Are they solid or glazed?

PS: Gloss all the way and twice on Sundays. Could go for satin or satinwood but matt is going to look like you've only undercoated them.

Neither, as Vegescoob has said, satin all the way if you have to paint doors at all.

Thats the way forward!!

Depends if you are over 40 or not. :P I would say matt.

Spoon

Matt says no taste or a goth though.

Gloss says weak of wrist.

Matt, Gloss or Matt Goss? Or Luke, or even Ken? Who's to say?

Spoon

It's down to Dulux, Billy.

Bubba po

What? A Dulux, like?

Eggshell.. but be careful how you walk on 'em

Spoon

Billy, a whiter shade of pale though.

What, like Pete Doherty after he's chucked up?

I couldn't tell you exactly as I've not seen him, post hurl.

Wouldn't posting hurl make the envelope soggy?

You'd have to blow chunks into an "Iffy" bag.

Just painted all mine white with Dulux Professional Full Gloss (from B+q). Make sure you leave them a week to "harden". Full gloss is easier to clean off dirty fingerprints which you always get on doors. Also looks better than matt or satin and dries to a harder finish, more hardwearing.

Gloss or satin. Not Matt.

Eggshell definitely. Farrow and Ball paint. Plain white and not brilliant white which is as naff as the use of gloss indoors. You'll never get a good flat surface and therefore gloss will never look smooth.

Spoon

Not if you put sicks stamps on it won't.

Eggshell is nice for interior, still prefer gloss for exterior. Mind you, all our internal doors are solid pine and just danish oiled.
