Homeowner here. Wife wants some lower Voc paint and landed on BM eco spec for walls, ceilings and upper trim as it’s one of the cleanest paints on the market. I know this sub will roll their eyes, but assume this is suitable for these areas.

I understand this is probably not ideal for lower trim, door and window trim, as well as the doors themselves. The doors are already painted and it feels kind of matte, which I assume might mean oil based but I’m not sure.

Could I paint scuff X straight on these doors / trim, or would this cause a problem with that paint below? Just looking to keep things easy.

Thank you

Interested in a first gen 2015-2020 but ideally post facelift for apple car play. I really like the idea of the dct trans and heard the one in the 4cyl is best.

Are these reliable? Any complaints? Do you have to use premium?

Thanks!

Looking to spend no more than $1500 which I know isn’t a lot. Don’t need anything too fancy, just want induction and something that will be reliable. I am not sure fond of touch screens for buttons but not a deal breaker as it appears many are.

The old carpet is off gassed but has had shoes on it. It also has 5 years of build up. I’m not sure if the topical stain guard is still present after cleaning and 5 years , but it likely has offgassed.

New carpet isn’t perfect and I realize that but this is among the least toxic types, but the pad isn’t toxin free.

I can’t do wool carpet or hard flooring in this space, nor can I pick a healthier pad on my time crunch.

Which is likely less toxic, existing or new carpet?

Anyone cross shop the two? The civic is really nice and even has some features the EXL does not, but its seats seem less comfortable and I think it’s louder? Wish I got more seat time with each to differentiate.

I realize the touring trim has a lot of extra features over the civic , but not mainly referring to that. What made you pick the accord hybrid over the civic sport touring hybrid? That car comes pretty well equipped for similar money to an EXL or sport accord.

Trying to determine if MB would be a fit for me to help with some mental health issues. What did it feel like for you and what dose did you take?

Is there a way to have all four doors (or at least the front two) unlock when grabbing the drivers handle? Really annoying the rear doors don’t open when you grab the handle.
