ECOS Paints

I ordered 2 gallons of the Ecos Radiator paint. Even though it's expensive,? I thought I was doing the wise thing, as this paint is specifically for radiators. I began with a radiator that already looked pretty good. There was no loose paint & no rust on the radiator before I began. After carefully painting the radiator for 2 hours, I stepped back to admire my work & I saw that some rust spots had appeared freckled across much of the surface! I couldn't believe it! I decided to let it dry & then check in it then: when I checked on it 2 days later, not only was there rent over probably 50% of it, a great deal of it was flaking away! What on Earth! I kept my fingers crossed that another coat would cover the rust, even though the coat I had just completed should've been the last coat. I began the next coat by scraping the flaking paint off which, again, was not something I had had to do in the beginning. Afterward, I spent several hours carefully re-painting the radiator. Almost immediately, when I finished an area, rust would pop out through the coat of paint! This happened all over the radiator again! So now, after many hours of work, I have a radiator in worse shape than it was before & 2 gallons of hugely expensive Ecos Radiator Paint. What a waste! Of money & time! Now I need to order another kind of radiator paint & start all over again. Ugh!

I covered a mauve/pink color with ECOS Metro which is a light gray/white. This paint had surprisingly great coverage as I thought it would take 2 coats but it only took 1. I will say that this paint had little to no odor when trimming the wood work/lights but when I rolled it on the walls (covering much more surface area at once), the paint was quite strong smelling. It smelled almost identical to a typical paint. HOWEVER, about just 2 hours after I finished painting, the smell was nonexistent. I could not smell that strong paint smell i smelled earlier and it was completely gone. In comparison, with regular low voc paint, i had smelled strong chemical odors for 3 weeks that gave me headaches and greatly affected my health. So if you are still reading this... yes get this paint but do not expect zero odor while applying it to walls. It will be strong for 2 hours and then disappear. I would recommend wearing a mask or having someone else paint for you if you are sensitive to smells/have chronic health issues. In conclusion i am satisfied with the color, the coverage, and the zero odor AFTER 2 hours. Keep in mind i am very sensitive to smells so i might be a bit biased by saying the odor was extreme before those 2 hours. Definitely the best no VOC paint i have found and I will be ordering again for any other rooms i will be painting.

Originally I placed an order for paint from a local Ace Hardware. After waiting for 2 weeks, with no communication, I discovered Ecos Paints and decided to just place an order without first receiving samples (I was exciting and itching for a project during social distancing). Not knowing what to expect and if the color on my computer screen would match the color received, I was a bit hesitant. However, I'm THRILLED with the quality and the color! Also, the turnaround was simply amazing! I placed my order on April 13th and it was delivered on April 15th.

Side note - Today is the 20th and I'm still waiting for the delivery of the paint that I ordered from Ace Hardware on April 2nd. Moving forward, I'll be making all paint purchases from Ecos Paints in the future.

Absolutely love EcosPaints! Great products, fast shipping! I love their non-toxic products and aim to create such amazing products! I will continue to only buy their paints.

I got the semi-gloss paint from the Lullaby collection to paint a second-hand crib, and while I love that it's non-toxic, there is zero smell, and it comes off your skin easily with soap and water, the quality of the paint is baffling. I'm no painting novice; I have painted other furniture and walls before and have used a variety of paint brands. This is the worst I've used. The texture while painting with this is more akin to Elmer's Glue and it starts to dry so quickly that by the time you get around a single 4-sided crib post, the brush starts picking up dried little bits from the first side you painted and creating crevices that when you try to paint over to make smooth again, pick up more dried chunks and create an uneven texture. I truly don't understand how this paint can be thick, runny, streaky, sticky, and drippy all at the same time. And I followed all the instructions - I sanded first, used a tack cloth, got the expensive paintbrush to use, even used a coat of primer - which went on much more nicely than the paint itself. I'm now one coat primer and 2 coats of paint in, and there still isn't adequate coverage / I can see the old color coming through. It also doesn't dry smooth like other paints - you can see all the brush strokes. And the semi-gloss is not semi-gloss at all, it's more of a chalk paint feel with an eggshell sheen. It's taken so much time to get this far that I almost wish I just bought a new crib instead. I'm only giving the one star for the non-toxic attributes which at least let me feel safe about putting my baby in here when she's born, even if it's not going to look nearly as nice as I had hoped. For calling itself a high quality paint, I expected way more.

The product came so quickly and was packaged securely and safely, I cant wait to use it to paint one of my bird cages.

I had high hopes for this product after reading the site claims and customer reviews. Both of my son's rooms face a water tower that has had several transmitters installed up top. I'm assuming the usual suspects (TMobile, Verizon, AT&T, etc). Bought a Trifield meter and the readings were around 9-17 mW/m2 nearest the wall and around 2-3 mW/m2 near their beds. I tried using aluminum foil and it worked very well, but obviously the aesthetics prohibited it from staying up. I found this company and applied 3 coats to the affected walls in my youngest son's room. I also installed the grounding kit they sell as well. After each coat of paint I measured the RF and there was no change in the readings. Even after 3 coats of paint! I contacted customer support and explained my situation. Here is Julian Crawford's response "The emissions must be outside the range of the EMR Shielding Paint - either from their source/location, or their nature. The nickel will not change in its performance, it is a metal with defined properties. Its ability to inhibit EMR signals is detailed on the data sheets. I am sorry if the results were not in keeping with your wishes."

I am not an EMR expert. I am just a dad worried about any adverse health affects on my kids and have a loose grasp on all the technical details involved with protecting us from all of the EMR/EMF/RF energies penetrating us 24/7. I took a gamble on the legitimacy of this product's claims to shield from all of this junk and was basically told afterwards that I should've read the data sheets to know that it doesn't work. Please learn from my experience and invest your hard earned money elsewhere. This company does not stand behind it's product and is taking advantage of the average consumer desperate to protect themselves and their loved ones.
