<pirate>Ahhh. I remember well the pearl of wisdom I got from this
list
meself as a lad, and now I shall share with ye!... </pirate>

ahem.. ;)

>from
screen white. Paint it Grey. The very best one, apparently, is Dulux Ice
Storm 5, which I was able to get mixed up into a wee 2.5L pot for about £6
at Focus Wickes..

and the improvement is *enormous* colours are more vibrant, blacks are
black, and strangely,  whites look more like white, and less like
"shiny".

It takes about three coats to get right.. I stopped at two, and there's a
little mark where I let it run that I keep meaning to sand out and fix
(using the little touchpot you can buy to try it out!)
