Luckily, these days the water based paints are fabulous. They are also available for external use. White water based paint will not yellow and is also easy to work (and sleep ) with (not smelly). I used water based for all our internal and external trims, doors and windows. It was like brand new some 8-9 years after painting (and then we demolished the house). Plus, I used one of the cheapest paints available - Performer from Kmart and it's fanstastic. I don't understand why would people even consider non-water based paints these days. Our friends did a major reno and their painter did all wooden stuff in oil based paints. After some short time, it all started to yellow and it really looks dated and spoils their clean modern look.

Re: Does white oil paint yellow? 14Jan 28, 2011 10:10 am ed @ EcoClassic gugs Hi I recently read on a design blog I follow that she had a terrible time with white oil paint (on her wood trim) turn yellow within a short period (less than 2 years). We are beginning to start painting next week and plan on painting all the trim with white oil paint from dulux. Does anyone know how true this is/experienced this? Thanks. Can't see Dulux paint doing this, more likely that the substrate was the problem, perhaps painting on top of a stain, or untreated timber. Ed Of course it goes yellow!! Aquanamel wont yellow, isnt a true enamel, but will perform very close to it. If you decide to go for a true enamel, make sure its on the exterior of your house as UV light will naturally "bleach" it and it will maintain its whiteness, inside a house UV light wont be at a high enough level to maintain its vivid whiteness.
