VOC: Volatile Organic Compounds

[SkinsandJrfan]

I have been reading about paints and such and have noticed where a lot of people have been mentioning VOCs. I had no idea what it was so I googled it. It came back with Volatile Organic Compounds. I have also noticed where guys have made a point to mention how one paint has low VOCs versus another paint.



My questios are these: When it comes to having the paint on your car, does it make a difference to have paint with a low VOC count versus paint with a high VOC count? Is paint with a lower VOC count better than a paint with a higher VOC count? Does a clear have a VOC count and does it matter in the same manner as paint?

Thanks
