Painting Doors - Can you get a good job with acrylics or an enamel that stays white

Hi
I've just decided to go do a run of door painting. Last time I did this about 15 years ago in another house the doors were removed and done in the back yard. Used a combo of Bosch PEX 150 sander and sprayed Dulux enamel and got great result. The downside was the yellowing of the paint.

This time I'm using the same prep technique (doors off and 150mm sander).
I got a can of Dulux Aquanamel, no problems with yellowing and water clean up.
I've tried roller, brush and a Wagner 860E HVLP spray but all fairly average results. I used 10% Floetrol in the spray, it seemed too thick and sprayed like it. I am hesitant to dilute any more as the paint spec sheet says use up to 5% water.

I guess my questions are:
Has anyone achieved a good result applying Aquanamel (no orange peel)?
Is there an Acrylic gloss suitable for doors that sprays well?
Are there any oil based gloss paints that don't yellow?

Any feedback appreciated.

Geoff
