Milk Paints for Furniture and Cabinets
Milk Paints are the star of the furniture fashion market. They are interior/exterior acrylic paints suitable for indoor or outdoor furniture, crafts, and cabinets to produce a high quality satin sheen finish. This furniture paint provides a tough, high-quality painted finish for your project and is available in 20 of today’s most popular colors. Milk paint is the stocked version of our Professional Classic paint line. It can be applied directly from the can to your work piece with a synthetic or foam brush; or applied using an HVLP or conventional sprayer. Milk Paint is UV resistant and is suitable for both interior and exterior furniture. Follow with our glaze effects for a distressed or antiqued look.

When used with Glaze Effects, you can create all the new decorative finishes such as distressing, antiquing, marble effects, rag rolling, or color washing.
High use flat surfaces such as dining tables and desks will develop the patina of every day life over time so we recommend clear or wood stain finishes to our customers who are patina-adverse.
Milk Paints can be used alone or mixed with any other product in the General Finishes Water Based line, including Wood Stains, and Topcoats.
