You can use acrylics as an alternative. There are some really good ones on the market that are just as good as enamels.

I changed to acrylics years ago - more of a problem then the enamel paint itself is the thinners used to thin the paint or clean brushes.

I knocked a small bottle of enamel thinners over once and had a real breath of all the muck as a result. I actually ended up the next day coughing up what can best be described as "plastic" glop.

I then used to clamp my bottles of thinners in an adjustable wrench after that so they would NOT get knocked over!
