What paint to use?

Fireandflame • I look like a shitposter but I'm not, I promise

Hello! Recently I bought a hand-me-down crib from a close friend of mine. The worse marks on it are little sharpie marks - from a toddlers experiment phase - however my fiance has a bigger issue with it: the crib is white.

It doesn't make much sense, I know lol, but he hates "boring, plain ol' white". He wants to repaint it, which I am all for, however my issue is if the paint he picks is safe. So, does anyone have any suggestions on safe paint to use to redo a crib (i.e. lead free)?

Also if you have any DIY tips on this, feel free to add. Than you so much 💜
