what kind of paint should i use to paint my cot?

i thought gloss would be ok if it was done well in advance and aired ok?

or can you buy special cot paint?


help please!

I would think any would be ok if it was done in advance and dried like you said! Not sure you should be the one doing the painting though

A lead free paint

thanks :-D i wont be the one painting it lol

Try, and use a water based paint. Gloss is solvent based. Just thinking about when baby is older with teeth, and teething.etc. Dulux do a water based scuff, and chip proof called 'endurance' it's great stuff B&Q sell it. It's much safer, and enviromentally friendlier than gloss, and you can wash your brushes out with water.

I forgot to say it's designed for woodwork, and radiators.etc.

ah ok that sounds like a much better idea- i didnt really want a gloss finish shiny cot i just wasnt sure what else to use.
Thanks you!

You could strip it and varnish it, unless you are set on painting xxx

its lemon yellow with baby animals painted on it it just wanted to freshen it up
