Natural Paints - Seeking opinions & experiences
Hi,
We're about to start renovating our old QLD'er and because we want to do it as 'Eco Friendly' as possible (which is the reason we bought a old QLD'er in the first place instead of building new) we're planning on using 'Natural' paints inside & out.
We know it's going to cost a fortune and we're fully prepared for that but has anyone else out there used 'natural' paints instead of the readily available highly toxic paints that are thrust upon us in all hardware & paint stores ?
I've got a few different sample pots of various types on their way up from this place : http://www.energyandwatersolutions.com.au/ and I'm really keen to see how easy they are to apply and most importantly how well they wear, especially on hardwood external weatherboards. I haven't got 20 years to wait to find out but I have been told that these natural paints have a longer life span than most normal toxic paints but I dunno and wont know until I try I suppose.
I have pessimistic & sceptic traits by nature so does anyone have any opinions/experience with natural paints ?? Any input would be helpful, thanks.
