WHen can I buy those? ******* Your best bet is to look for a " Low " or " Zero " VOC Paint. Depending on where you live, would determine how available they are. Most of these paints are not completely " non-toxic " , but are far better than the majority of them out there. There is " milk " paint, but I have read that it doesn't work so well on surfaces that already have paint on them. (has anyone found out otherwise?) There are several mfrs that make Low-Zero VOC paints now... here are just a few: AFM Safecoat: Zero VOC Paints Benjamin Moore: " Pristine " Glidden: " Spred 2000 " or " Lifemaster 2000 " (try a search for Low Zero VOC Paints, to find out what is available in your area) Keep in mind, that when you add color or gloss to the product, that will increase the VOC's too. IE: a deep dark color, adds more VOC's than a pastel color, and a high gloss adds more than flat paint.... Hope this helps....
