Paint has changed a lot over the years. Low or zero VOC paints release far less toxins and are healthier for everyone, including kids and those with allergies or chemical sensitivities. They have little to no hazardous fumes, minimal odor during the paint job and no odor once the paint has cured. New paint will also keep dirt and dust build up to a minimum, furthering the advantages for those who suffer from allergies or respiratory issues.
