WHERE CAN I USE IT?
Our Furniture Paint can be applied to almost any previously painted or coated surface without priming or prep work. Be sure to follow the directions to remove any previous waxes or grease from your surface prior to painting. This is an interior paint. Please see our Exterior Paint section for our premium exterior house paint collection.
HOW DURABLE IS IT?
After this paint has cured it is highly durable and a washable finish, without adding a top coat to it. You may of course add a beautiful lustre with any wax on top! The Paint is dry to the touch after 2 hours, re coat after 4 hours. Cure time with all acrylic paints is 21 days, however can be used gently after 24-48 hours of drying.
HOW MUCH DOES 1 QUART COVER?
Excellent coverage! In most cases 1 coat is all you need! In one quart your expected coverage is 150 sq ft. For example that’s a large Armoire, a small dresser, two sides tables and 4 chairs. A little goes a long way!
IS IT EASY TO DISTRESS?
Absolutely! This paint is very easy to work with! However we suggest distressing soon after the paint has dried. It is very durable, so distressing is a bit more work after it's cured! Wet distressing is very easy with our Furniture Paint.
MILK PAINT
WHAT IS MILK PAINT?
Milk Paint is 100% natural and is made from five simple ingredients: milk protein (casein), limestone, clay, chalk and natural pigments. It is a zero VOC paint that is completely biodegradable and non-toxic.
Milk paint comes in a powdered form and you simply add water to mix your paint.
Milk Paint has been around for thousands of years. It was found in the pyramids in Egypt and on ancient cave paintings. It has also been used for many years on furniture, walls, barns, and more.
Milk Paint is a versatile paint that can be used to achieve a variety of looks from chippy and distressed to smooth and sleek.
Milk Paint is suitable for both interior and exterior applications and is naturally mold resistant.
IS MILK PAINT SAFE?
Yes! Milk Paint is made from 100% natural ingredients. It’s environmentally friendly, non-toxic and contains no VOCs.
HOW MUCH WILL ONE QUART OF MILK PAINT COVER?
This depends on the surface being painted and how much water is added when mixing.
Typically one quart of a very light white will cover approximately 50 - 70 square feet. A darker colour will cover 70+ square feet. For example, one quart will cover a large armoire/hutch OR a dresser and two side tables.
When mixed as a stain, one quart will cover approximately 150 square feet.
