I have a 23 yr old "cheap" crib and would like to paint it. Any suggestions on what types of paint I should use? I am going to be using it for a baby.

BonBon:

Because of its construction, aerosol paints are a lot easier to use than applying paint with a brush. A thorough sanding is a must, as is a good primer (they're available in aerosol form, too).

I would suggest an acrylic such as Krylon, or Rustoleum as a top coat.

Todays paints , once cured, are completely safe. Either of these products can bring a durable, worry-free completion to your project.
