Old-Fashioned Milk Paint

Milk paint was the original wood finish used on many styles of early American furniture, and is appropriate for any project where an earth-tone finish is desired. It comes in powdered form which you mix with water. When applied, it dries flat with a rustic texture. All stock colors can be mixed with Snow White to create lighter shades.

Milk Paint works best on bare wood. If applying to surfaces other than bare wood, we recommend Extra-Bond to improve adhesion.
