Question 3

In our manufactured home we had to remove carpet due to pets. I then painted our stained subfloors. In painting our master & spare bedroom floors, I put primer down on both subfloors and ALSO painted walls, baseboards and floors. I have both rooms sealed off as best as I can because of strong smell. During/after painting, the smell got so bad, it gave me an instant headache (I wore a respirator for vapors, which made sickness even worse). Can I paint over these toxic VOC paints? It sounds like I can seal in the strong odors. I would like to order your paint swatches quickly so that I can decide on a color. Could you please let me know which color swatches can be used on floor paint? I am assuming the AFM Safecoat swatches/paint for floors. View answer

Question 4

What AFM Safecoat zero VOC paint sheen do you recommend for older real-wood worn cabinets in a bathroom where there is routine moisture from everyday showers and using the sink? I purchased semi-gloss AFM for the walls. Also, what AFM color might you recommend for these same old, worn real-wood originally stained walnut/mahogany type cabinets. I'm thinking of selecting the AFM SafeCoat zero VOC paint because I don't want to use a stain, even an AFM stain, I know the stain has more odor than the zero VOC paints. We are chemically sensitive. Would I do better with a color that is closest to the current old walnut/mahogany-type stain that is on there now, so the zero VOC AFM would blend more easily and cover over the current worn-out stain?

Question 5

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
