Hello, I am new to metalworking and had a question... I am making an
indoor furniture piece from steel and had intentions to paint it. Does
anyone know of any environmentally-friendly/ non-toxic paints I can use
to achieve a pretty vibrant finish? Also, any tips on application?
Thanks

Powdercoating is about as enviro-friendly as you can get. No solvents
to flash off, not toxic. Does take some equipment to apply though.
There are free, very detailed books are available online for download if
you're interested to find out more.

It all is manufactured from parts that came from this Universe, so it's
universally friendly. Most paints are made 99.999% from stuff that
originally came from our planet earth so they are grandfathered as
environmentally and ecologically friendly.
