Type of paint for wainscotting

[rizzoa13]

I've been spraying oil based for my colors and find it a dream to work with. My issue is the wainscotting (and the trim in the room) I've built is going to be a light cream color and I'm worried about yellowing with an oil based paint. Am I being paranoid and believing all of the dramatic reviews online of oil-based white paints?

I'm using an apollo 7500 cup feed with power-5 turbine and the largest tip size I have is a 1.8. I've got a real good sherwin Williams in town so ill likely use their paint. What do you guys feel is my best option for a thin non-yellowing white?

Thanks for the help.

We're doing the same thing here and a dining room we did (wainscoting, base, crown, windows and doors) is almost 5 years old and it still looks as good as new.

We put on two coats of oil based primer over the entire piece of trim/panel/etc, and two coats of oil based paint.

Well that's good to hear bc I really like working with the oil.

The other thing I've been looking at is CAB acrylic lacquers as they are water white and dry very fast. Anyone with experience or opinions is rely love to hear them.

I would never paint trim of any kind with anything but oil in my own house. Repairing latex is next to impossible once it gets dinged up and it will!

Yes it will yellow. Just plan for it. Tbh you will notice down the road but not care as it is gradual.
