Also, why is so much paint blowing?
I wish there was a nice little one sentence succinct answer. From the image where you've gone back to the wood it's grayed (weathered from tiny cracks) one tiny crack can cause quite a lot of that and really you want to be working on the fresh timber cells underneath that. Air gaps do occur often in moulding and internal corners - also on that weathering wood shrinking. Bullseye (I'm assuming) effecting the oil paint it's going on, hmmm, potentially something else going on there. The working temperature isn't great at the moment

What colour and what paint for my front door? Do I just go little greene and one of their period correct colours?
Also, why is so much paint blowing? Almost feels like the stuff I put on did something to the layers below, possibly not breathable? Or just age?
