I used to dream about the No. 10 perfect gloss black door but then it occurred to me that there are probably at least 2 and they get sprayed and polished at huge expense in a dust free factory somewhere and switched over when they need it.
I don't know if you've ever been but the overall state of No. 10 is really quite impressive.
It's all incredibly crisp close up.

In the last few years I've used Farrow&Ball, Little Green and an odd one called Porslin from Eico. At customers request. They are all much the same but I've learnt to be very thorough with the undercoat, then allow as many thin top coats as you think it needs so you're not trying to load the paint on. Also, never try to go back and touch up a panel while you're painting if the paint is acrylic. Last one I did I used scaffolding to set up a cover from dust and sun and that helped a lot. Thinking about it I'm starting to roll eggshell a lot more these days and that might make the process a lot easier.
