Touching Up Yellowed White Cabinets

5 years ago

We had all of the dark woodwork in our home painted white about six years ago. Based on what I had read on these boards (then Gardenweb.com), we chose Benjamin Moore Satin Impervo (alkyd, not waterborne). It has not been as durable as we'd hoped, but that may have been due in part to poor prep by the painters we used. In any case, it has chipped and peeled very badly, especially on our kitchen cabinets, and we need to have multiple areas redone or at least touched up before we put the house on the market. The paint has also yellowed slightly - which we had expected. In buying more Satin Impervo for the touch ups/re-do's, should we use the original shade of white and assume it will eventually yellow to match the untouched areas? Or do we try to match the current yellowed shade? Thank you for any suggestions.
