Hi Billy, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post so...you are my debut. I agree with Hamilton...go for eggshell. Emulsion as you rightly say will attract dirt and marks and you can top coat it if you want but it will darken the colour of the emulsion as Hamilton says and you will have a very inferior finish IMHO. Prime (my rec. would be Zinsser 123), sand, fill and caulk, then 2 coats eggshell, sanding between coats. You'll get a durable finish. All Dulux colours (well all those from B&Q and the like) come in eggshell as well as emulsion, just take the code or name of the paint and ask for it in eggshell. If determined to go with emulsion prime first then overcaot with a good quality acryic varnish..I've heard that Ronseal do a good one. Cait
