    Have doors, skirtings & architraves in the kitchen/diner that have been stained with a water based woodstain (pine/antique pine) for about 20yrs and want to try brighten up the room and go with a French White

    What preparation do I need to do first prior to the final coat which will be Colortrends Satinwood?

    I see Colortrend has an undercoat, would a coat of this be sufficient?

    I have used their Satinwood before directly over gloss and it hasn't given any issues and took very well, so I plan to stick with similar again and we like the colour aswell

    You should really use a good undercoat over stain. Zinsser Coverstain is oil based and is better than Colourtrend's waterbased undercoat. A waterbased undercoat is no good unless the wood is bare.

    Coverstain is oil based so you'll need white spirit to thin it a bit to make it a bit more applicable, then give it 2 coats of the Colourtrend Satinwood.
