General Finishes Milk Paint is a premium low VOC, self-sealing interior/exterior mineral-based paint named for its low-luster sheen. So durable, it is a go-to finish for cabinets and furniture.

GF is ecstatic to present Saw Nail and Paint as our first Featured Blogger of 2017! 

The ability of a paint to "hide" (cover) the existing underlying finish color is dependent on a number of factors.

One factor is colorants and the other is filler. Colorants affect the viscosity of durable furniture paints, making some paints thinner than others. GF could add more filler, making Milk Paint similar to wall paint, but that would reduce the durability.

Bright, organic colors such as blues, greens, reds, yellows and whites are thinner. Unfortunately, this a problem common among highly durable paints in the industry.

Q: Which 12 colors will remain in the Milk Paint line?

GF's Milk Paint is not a true Milk Paint - it is premixed and does not contain any casein based ingredients. We named our product Milk Paint with the intention of putting a clear, bright, contemporary spin on an old fashioned furniture paint tradition.

It is designed to mimic the low luster finish of old world paints. It is our premium paint, carefully engineered for durability, ease of application and exterior use. All you have to do is prep your piece, stir the can and get started!

Here are some other qualities that make our Milk Paint stand out:
