Mythic Paint... Zero VOC Paint Non Toxic Paint ...What are the facts and Myths about Low VOC or Zero VOC Paints?

Mythic Paint Zero VOC Paint and Non Toxic Paint: Before we get into Mythic Paint reviews and other brands… Here’s a little story…

I come from a family of Dunn Edwards paint users… My grandfather was a builder and when I was a kid I would help out and make some money so I could go to the movie theater. I like to paint because I’m pretty good at it. Whenever I painted a closet I could feel the heat and chemicals burning into my skin from head to toe. I thought to myself…

…This stuff can’t be very good for you…

There are a lot of so-called eco-friendly paints on the market right now including some that advertise “Zero VOC”… no volatile organic compounds but you can have a paint that has zero VOC’s that is loaded with cancer-causing chemicals… That can be a little misleading. So you want to find a paint that is Zero VOC and non-toxic.

When comparing prices of traditional paint vs. eco-friendly it’s important to consider the possibility that the less expensive and lower quality paints may require 3 or 4 coats of paint. This results in a much greater cost and takes much more time and labor. Quality is always the best investment in the long run because you have more time in-between re-painting because the high quality lasts much longer. Get the best quality paint that is safe for pets, people, and the earth.

Once you have a quality brand of Zero Voc and Non-Toxic paint, your next challenge is to find a brand that has non-toxic colorants. In other words…your salesperson sells you a non-toxic paint. But when your color is mixed, he/she may use a low Voc colorant which contaminates your paint with cancer-causing chemicals. Also make sure the primers are truly non-toxic and you are covered.

There are several brands of low VOC paint on the market but why would I recommend a brand that only has fewer cancer-causing chemicals?

Yolo is a brand of environmentally responsible paint and has great colors. If going green is what you’re after… I like Mythic Paint the best. Mythic Paint is a revolutionary new paint line designed specifically to protect your health and the environment. Below is a link to Paint reviews of Mythic Paint, Yolo Paint and other Zero Voc Paints.

If you are thinking about going green, whatever you do, make sure you use a brand of paint, colorants, and primers that has Zero VOC’s and is truly non-toxic.

Mythic non-toxic paint is safe for pets, safe for humans, and safe for the planet. It is easy to apply, easy to clean, and you'll use less paint because the coverage is much better. This results in a paint that saves money. You'll get more bang for your buck because you can go much longer in between re-painting because it last much longer than other brands.

Non toxic Mythic Paint should be used anywhere that you care about the occupants. Residential and commercial structures any interior wall or ceiling.

Quite simply the best paint in the world. Easy to apply, the coverage is great and it's easy to clean. With 1200 colors to choose from it's easy to make your space beautiful.

Non toxic Mythic paint comes in Flat, Eggshell, Simi-Gloss, High Gloss, and Exterior Satin (some customers use it for interior) and Exterior Simi-Gloss two types of primer, Drywall Primer and Multi Purpose Primer.

Mythic Paint also make a non-toxic ceiling paint specially formulated not to drip and to take grease and smoking.

Tips for pregnant women

Expectant mothers account for a huge amount of Mythic Paint purchases. If our little ones are going to have a fighting chance in this world we have to start with the environment that they are born into.

Re-painting the new-born's bedroom is a good start but every room where the expectant mother spends significant time while carrying is important. Especially the bedroom where she sleeps.

Schools

Another positive trend is parents of private schools are demanding that the classrooms be painted with non-toxic paint. The classrooms can be re-painted using Mythic paint during the summer or because of the very low odor they can even be painted in the evening and the children can attend class the next day.

Doctors offices and Hospitals

Doctors offices and hospitals. The last thing a patient needs is to go to a doctors office to get well only to get poisoned by the wall paint. The smart doctors are using non-toxic paint in their offices. They understand that the effort pays a nice return in the form of referrals. Who can resist the doctor that cares enough about their patients to invest in Mythic non-toxic paint?

Museums and Art Galleries

It makes sense that the directors of museums have a great desire to protect valuable works of art. The management goes through great expense and time to insure that these works of art are preserved for future generations. That means special attention to every detail including the type of paint used.

The smart museums and art galleries figured out that traditional paint off-gasses toxins that de-grade the works of art and causes damage. They are quickly re-painting using Mythic non-toxic paint.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAIn Southern California I like Kitty's Paints and Greener Building Supply 14440 Magnolia Blvd (just east of Van Nuys Blvd & north of the 101 Fwy) Sherman Oaks, Ca 91413 Phone: 818-788-6004 plus Kitty’s Paints are the first to carry the Mythic Paint line. The people there are extremely friendly and helpful AND THEY OFFER DELIVERY SERVICE.

Your other options are to order online (I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS) unless you have a dealer within 75 miles of where you live. The problem is the color matching and ship time. I do recommend a visit to a retail location if within 150 miles. It will be worth the drive.

Opera Paint in downtown Los Angeles is no longer an authorized dealer of Mythic Paint. I much prefer Kitty’s Paints anyways.
