If you aren't living in the house the smell will go after a couple of days. Most paints are pretty good. If you drop a log in the john you light a match, maybe light a lot of them around the house? Re: Any special way to get rid of new paint smell? 18Aug 22, 2008 2:02 pm Lol, ok then.
I just wasn’t sure that if the place was shut up from the time painting was complete until we pretty much move in, the paint smell would still be there, that’s all.

grace_slick Thank you! Yes, it'll be acrylic (Taubmans or Dulux). The sample pots we put a bit on the walls today were water based and they smelt. Not BAD, but just of paint. (we are sensitive and get paint-headaches) On another note, our painter told us not to try paints on the walls - but to paint it onto a piece of cardboard and hold it up. He said SO many people try paints on their walls and when the painters come in to do it all properly, there's brushstrokes left behind that show up. Re: Any special way to get rid of new paint smell? 20Sep 05, 2008 11:41 am Oh GOD, I know! I know NOW I should say. Nobody told me this before I tried them on the walls. There is one wall in the lounge that has 3 different samples on it, and one in the bedroom (the future feature wall) that also has 3 colours on it, and 2 are quite dark. I’ve mentioned this to the painter and they think it shouldn’t be a problem. Can they just somehow get rid of the colour? How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing!
