SW Harmony Or Other Low/no VOC Paints
Anyone have experience with Sherwin's Harmony line? I've got a client with pretty severe asthma and allergies, so I want to use an eco-friendly paint with as little fumes as possible. The good thing is that this is a trim job, so I all the finish painting will be complete in my shop prior to install, just need to do some touch up.
So again, any thoughts on Harmony? Or have you used any other Low/No VOC paints with good results.

Re: SW Harmony Or Other Low/no VOC Paints
I have used several times before and use it exclusively in my own home. We just finished a job last week using Harmony (walls and trim) with great results. The semi-gloss we used on all the trim covered well with just one coat.

Re: SW Harmony Or Other Low/no VOC Paints
I used the Progreen last week and it was excellent but not no-voc. It had 50g/l so it was better than the standard 200 but the client, who was also sensitive, commented on it.
I've used the no voc yolo line. Hate that stuff. It's like painting with water. Because its water. Really really drippy. Poor coverage. Can dry excessively hard (i like a paint with a little cure time to it so you can clean up the occasional drip without busting out a razor blade). |

Re: SW Harmony Or Other Low/no VOC Paints
You can look into this specialty paint. It is not only 0 VOC but the creator has these sensitivities too and made this paint with that in mind. Very durable too.

Re: SW Harmony Or Other Low/no VOC Paints
Low voc is all I recomend on interior jobs. Less toxins emiting in the air. The old paint all over her walls is Probally giving her problems too.

Re: SW Harmony Or Other Low/no VOC Paints
Not a pro painter, but I have used Mythic paint on my own home and it worked great. If any pros have tried maybe they can comment. The stuff has virtually no odor. You can check it out at mythicpaint.com
One thing I noticed was a lack of brighter colors in the Mythic line. A paint store owner I know that sells BM and Mythic told me that it was difficult to make the low voc type paints with bright colors? |
