I have MCS and we are having no-VOC cabinets fabricated for our laundry room, which will be painted using AFM Safecoat.

Question 39

I have chemical sensitivities, and am trying to cover up the slight fragrance from 2 year old paint in a 2 year old house that's still bothering me. It could also be the drywall or compound underneath the paint that's coming through. I originally wanted to go with Ecos paint, but the reviews say it doesn't block out odors. Will the Safecoat paint block any odors without the transitional primer underneath? I don't want to spend the extra money if i can help it. View answer
