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.
