Oil-based Paint recommendation

13 years ago

Can anyone recommend an oil paint for interior wood trim.

I want to paint the wood frame of my bathroom door in black gloss. Went to Home Depot and they only showed me Rust-Oleum paint, which indicated it was for metal. I have been searching all over the internet for specific brands with no success at all. I can find articles on the pros and cons of oil v. latex, instructions how to use oil, etc. -- everything except specific brands, so if anyone could make a recommendation on a particular brand I would very much appreciate!

Also Stulb's Old Village, although it's a mid-sheen rather than high gloss.
