It covered just as well as other premium paints and barely smelled at all! The colors are lovely as well, which is not always the case with the less toxic paints. All in all, I'd highly recommend it and will be using it to paint other rooms in my house this coming winter.

After reading an article on it (http://www.air-purifier-home.com/indoor-pollutants-guide) i decided to invest in an air cleaner. simply the best thing i could have done green/air quality wise. Looking fwd to more article here =) -Erin i like the milk paint idea, i’m going to have to give that a try.

They are awesome and the colors are terrific! Benjamin Moore "Natura" line is also pretty nice. Great article, people are really starting to pay attention to building materials and the cost for a paint that's good for you is no more expensive than the others so it's an easy decision. :) I am the owner of an Environmentally friendly painting company out of Evanston, IL and I use Yolo paints almost all of the time for my clients.

I wonder if there is any danger like e-coli or salmonella is making or using the milk paint. For now, I think I'll just stick with my <a href="http://www.roddapaint.com/product/products/horizon-interior-zero-voc.aspx" rel="nofollow">zero VOC paint</a> from my local paint manufacturer, but it is an interesting possibility.
