    Always used oil based and have tried a few acylic based satinwood paints on woodwork but gone back to oil based due to coverage and flow.
    So which would you recommend?

    Not keen on Johnsons due to a nob working in the York branch..

    I like Johnstones Aqua Gloss or satin, do use their undercoat though to get good coverage. Moisten the brush (synthetic best in my view) and wipe the surface down with a damp cloth just before painting. As with all modern paints work fast to keep a wet edge. Order on line fron decorators whearhouse or similar if your supplier is poor.

    I like Benjamin Moore advance satin. It's more expensive than standard off shelf paints like Dulux satinwood or Johnstone's aqua but with a good rub down you don't need an adhesion primer so saving on buying two paints. It's got great open time for a waterbased paint.

    I used Dulux satinwood recently, it's solvent based.

    Positives: One coat was adequate and coverage is very good.

    Negatives: Slow to dry and very runny, needs a good stir before use.

    I've just painted my door frames with Leyland Satinwood and I was very pleased with density and application. (Zinser Bullseye 123 undercoat)

    I've just bought Diamond Satinwood for some doors, its water based. But expensive at £50/2.5 litres!
