Question:

What interior paint has the least odor?

0 LIKES UnLike

My son has asthma and anything can be a trigger. We are in the process of moving and the entire house needs repainting. I am letting him paint his own walls and we need a paint that has very little or no odor to it. I was told that nursing homes and hospitals use a specific paint so as to not leave the odors lingering. ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  1. Latex

    any paint that is water based doesn't smell  . But the best way is to go to a Benjamin Moore supplier and ask them directly ,if your son has Asthma they might carry a specific brand of paint , When it comes to health issues it's best to ask a Professional  not us on Yahoo , we can only help so far!.


  2. I am the same way.  I start wheezing if the wind blows in the wrong direction.  

    My husband is a store manager for Lowe’s and I just asked him and he said they carry Olympic Zero VOC paint.  Low or Zero VOC paint is what pulmonologists recommend for people with breathing problems.

  3. I am currently painting my interior with Kilz latex paint and I can't smell anything at all.
