Hi all.
I know when you paint a cot it has to be toxic free and etc.. But it's so hard finding a paint lol.
Does anyone know if you can use the "Dulux made by Me" paint on a cot?
Thank you in advance. Obviously will check when I go to the store to buy it, but just wanted to know so I can choose a rough colourSmile

DH used to work for them-acrylic based paint is fine (obviously nothing solvent based!). Is it bare wood?

It'll need priming - you can get water based primer. DH says go for low VOC-there a blue badge on the side of the tin.

Hey, it's not so hard to paint the cot, even if you've never done it before. The main thing is to find a good paint ask around in a specialty store in your city.It's not so hard to find it. By the way how old is your baby? I am a professional photographer, can advise a resource www.floatingstyles.com/ here guys make any photo a real picture, I think that every home should have pictures or of their children.
