My girlfriend is away for the weekend, I and I want to suprise her by doing some painting and some shelfmaking.
The wall I want to paint is a in a rather small room, with a lot of old screw holes that I'm going to fix and paint over (the whole wall) before mounting the shelf.
The problem is that the room is filled with a lot of cloth and stuff, and the room does not have direct ventilation to fresh air (no window).
Will the smell of paint stick to the clothes?
Best Answer
No - the smell of new paint fades away over time. It won't stick to clothes any longer than it emanates from the painted surface.
I hope you're using latex paint and not oil - as the smell fades away much faster.
