The term odorless on a paint can, does not mean to be without odor, it means it has less odor than other similar paints. There are a number of paints with low VOC (volatile organic compounds), the things in paint that can cause environmentally sensitive people to react badly. Check with your local paint retailer for the ones available in your area.
What baking does more than anything when the smell of fresh paint is in the air, is that it masks the paint odor rather than absorbs it. The best and quickest way to eliminate the smell of paint is to open the front and back doors, or windows, and set a good size fan in front of one of the doors and allow it to blow through the house. If it is an oil base paint you will simple have to wait until it cures - maximum 7 days
Latex paint frozen in the can, should not be used. Freezing damages the paint, making it unusable. Once latex paint is applied to a surface, freezing will not harm it.
yes, the real question is, how different is its odor from brake fluid odor?
No. Usually when you paint your wash your walls down first and rinse. Once the paint is applied it becomes a sealant. If it's water-based paint it's possible any pet odor (from a dog lifting their leg to a cat spraying on the wall) could be trapped in the plaster. After washing down the wall well (or that particular spot) use vinegar and warm water and soak lightly the part of the wall that has the stain and be sure it's good and dry before painting.

While everyone loves the fresh, clean look of a newly painted wall or room, the same cannot be said of the noxious smell of paint that is left behind after. Follow these simple tips the next time you prepare to paint in your home to avoid enduring the odor of paint and chemicals that seem to last forever. Before you begin, look for odor-free paint at your local hardware store. If this is not available, alter the scent of the paint you purchase. Many hardware stores stock odor-free or low-odor paints now, due to the huge demand for such products. If you are not able to find an odor-free paint that suits your needs, simple improve the odor of the paint that you choose. Before beginning to apply paint, pour two teaspoons of pure vanilla extract into each gallon of paint. It will not take much of this extract to deodorize the paint and the color should not effect the tint of your paint. If you prefer, you can use peppermint oil instead. Experiment with different amounts if you prefer a stronger scent. Deodorize your room after painting with natural materials that absorb the chemical fumes found in most paints.

There are several ways to get rid of oil-based paint odor. One of the best ways is to simply burn a candle while painting.

Vinegar is a good odor absorber, especially for cigarette smoke, however, you will have the vinegar smell to contend with. Another suggestion would be to add 1 tablespoon of white vanilla to your latex paint ( this will not work with oil based paint). The vanilla will mask some of the odor and make the paint smell less strong. Another good odor absorber that doesn't have any smell are charcoal briquettes, just be sure you get the plain ones not the ones that have been treated (Match Lite) with starter fluid. Just place them around the house (works especially well in the basement) in bowls and let them do the work. Handylady

Normally, the natural odors are made by esters. Bases react with esters and form alcohol and carboxylate ions. So bases can be used to attract onion odor.
