Zero VOC Eco Friendly Paints should be the only paint of choice! Helping in the push Saving Our Planet, doing it’s tiny share making up, for the latest environment nightmare, BP’s Gulf Oil Spill.

Use the same colors for the stripes as were used for the initial parchment finish (the second layer will turn out a lot darker). Apply a few swipes of each paint mixture (figure A), and then spread it around with a damp cheesecloth in rounded, ameba-shaped movements. Then dab repeatedly to blend any lines. Once a stripe is done, pull the tape off right away so any excess paint under the tape can be wiped off with a rag.

That is fantastic! You know, another option, though not non-toxic is paint recycling programs that are available at many landfills. Our local landfill allows people to bring unused paint that others can come pick through rather than buying new paint. It’s great because it stays out of the landfill, and it is free for others to pick up. I’ve used this service a few times when I just need a splash of new color. But of course…you can’t be too picky on the shades you’ll find there. You get what you get.

I wish I had known this a year ago. My office mate painted the office and it made me physically ill - headaches and a skin rash. I had to leave a fan blowing overnight for three nights until I could use the office.

Green is the new black, but to be truly green, rather than fashionably green takes a little bit more effort. This post on environmentally friendly ZERO VOC Paint has opened my eyes to what the paint story is all about. Replacing obvious poisons with other ones doesn’t make sense, so I will make sure I get what I was expecting to get thje next time paint is purchased by me.

I have to say that this is the only why to go, looking out for our environment is really important and it helps us to be more aware, I have yet to use these but I will be looking out for them in the future.

Thanks for the information, I regularly use latex paints in kitchens, but zero VOC paints are the future, they have come a long way and performance is now comparable to alkyd paints, the only hurdle is the added expense, but as regulations tighten and consumers become aware of VOC issues then no doubt the cost will come down.

I recently used a no VOC paint to paint my house called ECOtrend. I had a really good experience with the paint. and they use eggshells for the binder instead of chemicals.

The quality of VOC paint is awesome the color is very natural plus it is environmental friendly, well using this kind of paint is slightly meticulous you need to do the painting quickly for as what the poster above said it dries quickly

Exactly, since there is no organic paint, it is up to us as painters to be eco friendly.

There is the FreshAire Choice as well. Unlike other paints it has a dry packed colorant and adding color wont add VOC’s. Most colorants just add VOC’s right back to the base paint. Check out the site http://freshairechoice.com/

Hi there!

Great article! I came across it while researching about “zero-voc” paints for my own blog. I added a link on mine to this page so my readers can become more informed too.

Thanks,
Sarah

I know in CA they are pretty strict on regular paint on how high their VOC percentage is. Its good to see that they are making improvements on chemicals that are harmful to us, I always was amazed on how even a little bit of a harmful chemical is okay to use.

Yes, Zero-VOC paint has come a long way. In my experience it spreads as well as the old style paint. The colors seem consistent, and I haven’t noticed them to be any less durable. The only problem I see is the added expense, but I have noticed the price coming more in line. At some point it will probably be the only option available….which is a good thing.

Thanks for sharing. It is very cool I think. I recently painted my room with Yolo Colorhouse 0 VOC paint.

Hey, I’ve seen this paint on TV before… I think it was featured on Holmes on Homes, or possible Disaster DIY… well, one of those million renovation shows on these days. Anyway, it seemed like good stuff, their plug definitely wasn’t as in depth as this was though. Thanks for the info mate, I’ll be sure to keep all of this in mind the next time I decide to repaint.
