Anyone have any experience with low or no VOC paints?

TheCatWoman

I need to do quite a bit of decorating, and one of the rooms desperate for a make over is my bedroom. I don't want to wake up wheezy and with a headache and for all my food to taste of paint for the next week until the smell wears off.

Has any used low VOC paint, what was the coverage and finish like, what brands did you use?

  • I paint with water based painta for my hobbies I also use things like plastic cement which has acetone in my hat advice is open windows whilst painting and for a hour or two are least afterwards they smell if not lingers will fade day by day (I learned this after panicking that I'd ruined my Louis mask prop by using model paint to make it look better as the smell was strong)
