Re: Odorless Paint
I'v been using benjamin moore regal and haven't noticed an odor. It's low VOC. Natura by BM is supposed to be no VOC and has less of an odor.
I think most brands have a low and/or no VOC paint base.

Re: Odorless Paint
Very few brands are zero VOC. The gov't allows BM to claim "zero", even though it has VOCs in it.
HD has Freshaire, and I've used Mythic Paint for my entire house.
The low VOC paints are good, though, and have minimal odor.

Re: Odorless Paint
We used to use BM Regal, but have now switched over to Natura. We've been very happy with it. We couldn't smell a thing when we had our hallway & closets painted.

Re: Odorless Paint
I used Olympic from Lowe's and it had no smell and covered well. My coworker just used it too and loves it.

Re: Odorless Paint
I was watching "The Unsellables" a show on HGTV and they give you tips throughtout the show...They said that if you cannot afford a ordorless paint you can use any paint and before using it, open the can and add 3 drops of vanilla extract and then mixed and you are ready to paint your home!
It supposed to give you a nice smelly vanilla scent...Good luck
In the past I have used Valspar from Lowes and it was ordorless, plus you can clean it, it works the best when you have little ones
