Milk Paint
"Milk Paint" is a re-creation of the ancient Milk Paint Formula
used for centuries before the sale of commercially made paints.
It is an authentic finish for use in the restoration of antiques or
in the reproduction of antique furniture. It comes in 20 rich
colors that are durable and do not fade. Also, since Milk paint
is made from elements that pre-date the use of petrochemicals
and other toxic bases and solvents, it is biodegradable, non-
toxic, and odor-free when dry. It can even be used on children’
s toys and furniture. It is used by artists and craftsmen to
create decorative results that cannot be achieved with other
paints. The dead, uneven, grainy look is quite distinctive. .
Milk Paint is used to achieve an authentic “old look” to
furniture, floors, cupboards, woodwork, walls, signs, toys,
stenciling, interior walls, floors and woodwork in homes and
offices. For exterior use, apply Clear Coat® over Milk Paint, as
it will prevent water spotting in the rain. It penetrates into all
clean, porous (unfinished) surfaces. For non-porous surfaces,
mix with Extra-Bond®, to promote adhesion to surfaces other
than bare wood.
Milk Paint is simple to use:
1} Mix: Measure about equal amounts of water and powder into
separate containers. The one pint package contains about 1-
1/2 cups of powder, and when mixed with 1-1/2 cups of water it
will make about 1 pint of paint. (Note: warm water helps.)
2} Apply: Apply with a dry brush, roller or spray gun. Natural
bristle brushes are fine, but foam brushes may require less
effort and leave fewer brush marks. Milk paint is naturally
somewhat streaky in color. This is normal. The most even color
is achieved by spraying. Next best for evenness is by roller
application. Again, you may find that foam rollers are easier to
control. For spraying, paint should be a little thinner than for
brushing, and should be strained. Spray with conventional
spray equipment at about 30 lbs. pressure. Adjust pressure
and nozzle to get a good paint film, not dry and not runny.
Milk Paint has been featured in many books and periodicals,
including: This Old House, House Beautiful, Martha Stewart
Living, The New York Times, and many more.
