At MetroPrime Painters, we’re always setting the prime standard in paint—not just in quality and craftsmanship but also in the products we choose. Over the past year, we’ve made a major shift in the paints we use, prioritizing zero-VOC and ultra-low VOC options from Dunn-Edwards. Why? Because we believe that a fresh coat of paint should enhance your home or business, not compromise your air quality. With our ultra-premium selections, you don’t have to choose between eco-friendly and high-performance—you get the best of both worlds, ensuring stunning results without sacrificing safety or durability.
What Are Zero-VOC and Ultra-Low VOC Paints?

If you’ve ever walked into a freshly painted room and been hit with a strong chemical smell, you’ve encountered volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compounds are found in many traditional paints and can release harmful emissions into the air. VOCs contribute to poor indoor air quality and can cause headaches, dizziness, and long-term health concerns.
Zero-VOC and ultra-low VOC paints, like the ones we use from Dunn-Edwards, significantly reduce these risks. They are low-odor, non-toxic, and safer for both your family and our crew. This is a game-changer, especially for homes with children, pets, or anyone with allergies or sensitivities.
Why We Chose Dunn-Edwards for Eco-Friendly Painting
We’ve tested many brands, and Dunn-Edwards continues to stand out in quality, performance, and sustainability. Some of our favorite paints include:


EVEREST® – A zero-VOC, ultra-premium interior paint that delivers outstanding coverage with low odor. Designed for high-end residential and commercial spaces, it offers superior durability, washability, and adhesion for a flawless, long-lasting finish.
EVERSHIELD® – A top-tier, ultra-low VOC exterior paint designed for maximum durability and protection. Engineered to resist UV fading, mildew, and harsh weather conditions, it provides long-lasting coverage on stucco, masonry, wood, and metal surfaces.
ARISTOSHIELD® – A high-performance, ultra-low VOC enamel designed for both interior and exterior applications. Its advanced urethane-alkyd formula delivers a smooth, oil-like finish with outstanding durability, making it perfect for cabinets, trim, and metal surfaces like garage doors and wrought iron.
DECOGLO® – An ultra-low VOC, urethane-modified acrylic enamel designed for cabinets, doors, and trim. It provides a hard, lacquer-like finish with superior scuff, chemical, and block resistance, ensuring long-lasting beauty and durability.
These products and others we use not only offer superior performance but also align with our mission to provide the highest-quality, eco-conscious painting services in Mesa and beyond.
A Customer’s Experience with Zero-VOC Paints

One of our recent customers shared a story that solidified our commitment to using these paints. They had previously used a well-known paint from a big-box store and found the strong odor unbearable. The fumes lingered for days, making it hard to be in the home comfortably.
When they hired us to repaint using EVEREST®, they were amazed at the difference. No harsh smell, no lingering chemicals—just a beautifully painted space they could enjoy immediately.
It’s feedback like this that reassures us we’re making the right choice, not only for our customers but for the environment as well.
