I would recommend that you use a waterbased paint instead. Enamael paints do have toxins and are not healthy for a home with children as you can view for yourself at http://www.ehow.com/about_5723435_toxic-effects-brain-enamel-paint.html. Another site that you might view is http://www.ehow.com/way_5339462_type-paint-use-babies-rooms.html that talks about paints that are safe enough for a baby, so you know they are safe enough for adults and older children as well.
