Hey B&Q Team! Would the same steps and paint apply when painting the door inside? Thanks!

I need help, my house interior flat surfaced doors already had 10 year old yellowish coloured (not sure if this was the original colour or it turned this colour due to dirt etc) gloss paint before I painted over them recently using high gloss paint without any prepping, the yellowish old gloss is bleeding through and you can see brush marks from the new high gloss layer, what's the best way to fix this issue so when I use high gloss, I get a smooth clean finish?

So not to remove the door ? Paint around the hinges ?

Is there any need to use very fine paper once painted to make it even more smooth ?

I painted my door a total different color, how do I prevent the paint from pulling at the top? I have left it open for at least 8-10 hours to dry. I think it’s the weather strip

What if the door is dark brown stain and I want to paint it grey? Would eggshell be best? What colour base coat?

One problem. You painted the door closed. What about the edges! Ah yes - that avoids the tricky problem of security when using a proper oil-based paint system, with typically 16-hours drying time - can't close it when you paint the edges properly!
