I paint every day of my life, and I'm curious also about Organic ';PAINT'; in the strict definition of the word.
Without a clue as to WHY anyone might want to take on the tedium of such a task, why not craft or purchase a large strainer, allowing a grid pattern small enough for the grains to remain, while being large enough for your ';Paint'; to flow into a bucket below, then be captured to re-pour the next batch of grain?
I'd probably use an electric airless sprayer, but even one using electricity, has to have a fuel/power source from somewhere.

just my two ';sense';Which is ';greener';: spraying 100,00 oat grains on the floor with a paint compressor or dipping them in paint?
Dipping is greener as the compressor will use energy!
By far, the ';greener'; way to do this would be to dip them in paint. Air compressors are powered by gas, diesel fuel or electricity. Since compressors are considered to be a power tool, they will use more electricity/power than just about any appliance in your house.
Don't trust me? Just check with your local power company. Local power companies usually have very, very good info about power usage!
If you are using organic paint then they would be equally green. The method used to paint them would not make any difference.
But what is organic paint? I have heard of low vo paint and even recycled paint - cuz my husband owns a company that recycles paint, but I don't know what organic paint is. Do you mean like a milk paint or something?
And, how would you get the 10000 oat grains you dipped in the paint out again? I'm just askin'
Am I missing something here? Why do you want to put oatgrains covered with paint on the floor anyway?
