Spray/Aerosol Paint - advice please

**whatnow** · 17th February 2007

I'm looking for a paint which is permanent and low>non toxic (but quick and easy to apply).

Would I be right in assuming all paints in a can will be oil or vinyl based?

The only spray paint I've used before is bumper spray and that was a long time ago. I remember it giving off fumes, so it probably scores high on the toxic side of things - but it's also probably permanent & hard wearing too.

Does any use any they can recommend, I'm trying to think out of the box here but it seems it's main uses are Automotive, 'Street Art' & Artistic - none of which apply to what I want to use it for.

And while i'm breeching the subject of toxicity, are any paints specifily low in toxicity? or perhaps even Organic/Naturally formed & commercially produced?

WIll get back to my web searching now. thanks in advance,

heh well I guess it's not that exciting, sorry.

I've been asked to help with a children's event & they all want custom cloths made for it. I need to find some fabric paint which I could apply with a stencil- as there will be friggin loads to make & I wanted it to be 'easy' to make as many as required.

It seems my best option is to use fabric dye and a stencil, but I might look into pressurising it and spraying the dye on anyway. it's just got to be permanent as the orgnaiser wants them to last longer than one sitting. Ideally, forever...
