Product Description
General Finishes Milk Paint is a high quality interior/exterior pre-mixed paint. Not a true "casein based milk paint" but a modern version of old world paint with a strong mineral base. It is aDAPtable and UV resistant. It may be applied via brush or spray and possesses excellent flow and leveling properties.
Specifications
Milk Paints can be applied over existing finishes and will leave a low luster satin finish. For a higher shine or more protection, we recommend General Finishes High Performance Top Coat.
Milk Paint can be applied over existing finishes, stains or other paints as long as they are completely dry. It will adhere to a variety of surfaces including wood, fiberglass, PVC, vinyl and most composite materials. Always test a small area first when going over other products to ensure the paint adheres well to the original surface. Before you start, carefully read the directions on the back of the can. Test the color to ensure it's what you want.
