Milk, The Perfect Palette

Revive forgotten furniture and décor with the latest release Rust-Oleum Milk Paint Finish. This light textured paint has a unique effect and features a modern, matte finish providing an authentic antique touch to your project. Milk Paint’s premixed, one-step application bonds easily to most surfaces with no primer needed. One coat of Milk Paint renders a semi-transparent, modernised finish which highlights the wood grain. Add additional coats or multiple colours to create your own custom look. And if you are after a distressed appearance simply lightly sand until you have created the desired effect.

Rust-Oleum Milk Paint allows you to upcycle worn out furniture and décor pieces without covering their timeless beauty and design. This highly versatile paint requires no top coat and minimal prep to highlight wood grain. Use to create other surface effects on raw or painted/varnished wood, metal, aluminium or glass surfaces. Apply a light coat in a "V" pattern to achieve a high-quality washed look with subtle texture. Apply multiple coats or layer paint to create your own custom paint project.

Sand edges lightly to enact a worn look to your project.
