Is there any paint that doesn't smell?

-I want to paint my home, my daughter suffers from asthma.

Can I buy any paint that doesn't smell much? if so could you please tell me the name?

Lots of thanks!House paint? I know there is one but i don't remember the brand.

If all come down to worse maybe let her stay at a friends or relative for 2 1/2 weeks for the painting.

That's what they had to do with my cousin.most companies are making "green" paint now, or low VOCs. you will just pay a coupld dollars more per gallon. sherwin williams has sure green products, and one called harmony. eventually i beleive all paint will be required to have low VOCs.

in any case, you will find NO paint that is completely odorless. the problem is actually the VOCs. probably what would be best is have your daughter leave the home for the day, paint on a low humidity day, and have fans blowing out of the windows. latex paint dries quickly and by the next day all will be completely dry :)
Modern water based paints like Johnstons and Leyland do not smell and the whites do not yellow as quickly as traditional paint. If you want to neutralise the smell of emulsion paint put some vanilla essence in it.

Friend is a retired high class decorator. (Like hanging wallpaper at 拢70 a roll!).
No. There are paints that smell differnt, but not odorless. This is why house painters work slows in the winter. No one wants them around stinking up the house when they cant leave.
Zinsser makes a low odour paint. It still has some smell though not much.
