The paint company told us to cover it with Zinnser and re-paint, but Zinnser contains a great deal of chemicals. We are very upset to say the least.

I was really surprised with how much odor it caused and was glad we weren't living there when we painted, because we had a little one and I was pregnant. We ended up painting (had someone paint) a couple of ceilings a few months after we moved in. The guy we used said he preferred the Acro Pure paint by Miller, which is zero VOC. Although there was still a little odor, I remember thinking it was a lot better than the Harmony. I havne't used Benjamin Moore's to compare, but I'd feel comfortable using the Miller again.
