I have loved using the sample sizes on smaller projects to see how well they work. Of the color samples I have tried I have been favorably impressed with all but 2 of the colors. Those 2 colors, Purple Hollyhock (which is actually pink) and Citron do not cover surfaces without multiple coats. The others did the trick w/ just one coat. The other colors I chose are very cheery & I would order those again.
The paint is high quality and very low odor. I am not ultra sensitive to smells/chemicals but 1) I care about environmental health and my toddler's health and 2) the experience of painting is SO much better when you aren't inhaling fumes for hours or even days. I have ordered about 6 gallons of paint so far. One of them was mixed incorrectly and the customer service was fabulous. They even have an after hours answering service and responded to my email within hours. They overnighted a corrected paint gallon at no charge.
I just can't match a wall cover I have to the colors you show on your webpage. I know it's very hard to do that because both the monitor I have and the colors you show don't even come close. I'm at a loss here. I want to order paint from you but out of all the swatches I ordered, none of them are even close. I tried to take a picture of the wall but it doesn't even look like the color it really is. Any suggestions? The wall color shows a lot of yellow or gold.
I received the polyurethane quickly and it was well packaged but it is very difficult to work with, it does not self level shows brush strokes and the semi gloss has a satin finish, I had to sand it off and use minwax instead. So disappointed, especially since I have refinishing to do in my house and hate wearing a gas mask.
I bought the white primer and white lullaby paint to re-paint two cribs. Unfortunately it is taking me 3 coats so far (4 including the primer) and it is still not covering the old colours.
I have decided to not continue as the multiple coats of paint do not look good, making my cribs look cheap, and I have decided to buy two new cribs.
Dear Jess,
Thank you for contacting us.
We typically recommend applying one coat of primer and then two coats of paint.
If the coverage is not uniform at that point, there is possibly an issue either with the application, or the substrate.
In particular, for a crib, if the original finish has not been removed, it could be impeding the lay down of new paint and primer.
Factory finishes on cribs often contain solvents, or oils, which are not compatible with a water based paint or primer.
We hope that this helps.
Happy Painting!

I purchased a gallon of air purifier vanish and a quart of pickling white stain. To my surprise, the gallon of vanish arrived in 2 days! I have finished half of my kitchen cabinet fronts. The result is very pleasing to me as an amateur with stain and vanish. Will definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in buying product s from Ecospaint!
I love the colors, the option to try samples, the ease of ordering, the promptness, and the quality of the paint. And unlike other paints that omit fumes, this paint didn't. Super nice when we have kids in the house and for painting while pregnant!
I've been searching for the perfect non-toxic sealer I could use on the fuax rock hides I was making for my two leopard geckos. Every sealer I found was toxic, till I found eco paints. I love how eco friendly and non-toxic the sealer is. The packaging was very secure, I was surprised. I'll be a eco paints customer for life.
I was so happy with the ecospaint I purchased last week. It's a miracle for me as I have asthma & suffer from ordinary paint fumes. No fumes or nasty breathing issues as from ordinary paints. LOVE IT!
I received my package only to open it and discover it was meant for someone else. I emailed and within minutes I received a response.
My correct color was shipped and I was told to use or donate the Gallon I received in error. I have already received my correct color and look forward to start painting!

Hi Gail,
The easiest way to match the color would be to find the same color paint chip from a local company, or cut a similar color from a magazine so that you have something to send us.
We will be able to match that color in our ECOS Paint.
Happy Painting!
