Does anyone have any insight/thoughts/comments/experience about categorizing an anti-rust coating as compared to categorizing the product as a flat coating/primer?

whiteboard paint
NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatingsposted by Craig Flandermeyer on
What category would whiteboard paint fall under? Plan to use IdeaPaint which has a COC of 325 g/L, don't want to calculate the VOC budget method if not necessary. Thanks!
Industrial Coating
NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatingsposted by Patrice McVeigh on
Hello all, My project includes an industrial floor which will be subject to high abrasion, scrubbing etc, therefore I expect the 250 g/l limit to apply.
Fire-retardant coatings
NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatingsposted by Mike D on
The table on LEED online does not provide with the option for fire-retardant coatings. What other category should be used and what is the VOC limit for fire-retardant coatings?
VOC Content in VOC Budget Method
NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatingsposted by Aber Alvi on
For a project located outside US, should the VOC content of a paint or coating not tested as per SCAQMD or Green Seal or CARB Standards be included in the VOC budget method?

Primers - really?
NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatingsposted by Keith Robertson on
In my opinion, LEED 2009 incorrectly categorizes primers. I know that the table issued with the 4/14/10 addendum clearly lumps primers into the GS-11 requirements. This I don’t understand.
