Spenceey, I imagine this will depend on your paint system. Gloss coat a small area and see if it still shows. If not then go ahead with the rest, if it does show then sand down and apply another undercoat. I doubt you'll need to sand the gloss off completely, just enough to take the shine off and give the paint something to key into so it shouldn't be too hard.

Thanks - I thought this might be the case. I'll trial a quick bit tonight. It's only the skirting as the rest of the wood was already white (window sill, door).

Then come the weekend I've got the joy of hanging lining paper. Absolute virgin to that so it should be fun.
