General Finishes Milk Paint is a high quality, furniture grade paint formulated to provide a tough, durable, chip resistant finish. This is a premium interior/exterior mineral based paint named for its low-luster sheen, which mimics the look of old-world furniture paint. It is not a powdered, casein-based milk paint, but a premixed modern version that is so durable it does not require a topcoat unless you want to increase the sheen. The unique formulation dries rapidly, resists blocking, and will sand easily. Milk Paint is UV resistant, suitable for interior and exterior applications, and dries to a satin finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is General Finishes Milk Paint a real milk paint?

No. Despite the name, it is not a powdered, casein-based milk paint. It is a premixed, modern water-based acrylic paint named for its low-luster sheen, which mimics the look of old-world furniture paint.

What color is this paint?

This is Coastal Blue, a soft seaside-blue tone well suited to coastal, cottage, and farmhouse furniture. See more colors in our wood stains & finishes collection.

Do I need a topcoat over Milk Paint?

No topcoat is required — the paint is durable enough on its own. However, you can add a clear topcoat finish if you want to increase the sheen or add extra protection on high-wear surfaces.

How many coats should I apply?

Plan on 2 or more coats for full, even coverage. The formulation dries rapidly and resists blocking between coats.

How is Milk Paint applied?

It is designed for brush application. Pick up quality brushes and finishing supplies for the smoothest results.

Can I use this paint outdoors?

Yes. Milk Paint is UV resistant and suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

What sheen does it dry to?

It dries to a flat, low-luster sheen with a satin-like look. If you prefer more shine, add a topcoat finish over the cured paint.

Is this paint durable and chip resistant?

Yes. It is a furniture-grade, chip-resistant finish formulated to be tough and durable on furniture and cabinetry.

Does the paint sand easily between coats?

Yes. The formulation sands easily, so you can knock down any raised grain or imperfections before your next coat using fine sanding & abrasives.
