Milk Paint

[rick kiot]

have any of you used "Milk Paint" to finish any of your projects? And then have you "destressed it" (thats the way it was spelled on DIY Network). I wanting to go with a dark blue and a vey dark green.  Any ideas or help?  Oh, yes and bu y the way: I am extreamly colour blind, but people tell me these are the colours to go with. Thank you

Which brand of milk paint do you plan on using?

This is a wine hutch I finished about a month ago .It is federal blue  under Red Pepper  thinned like ink to drag it over the blue so it lets blue fade through.Then I  made worm holes on flat surfaces plus beat it up with chains

Nice thing about it that you control the richness or not so rich of color by adding more or less water

Very nice, Jens.

the only furniture finishing formula I no is making paint stripper and his is getting harder and harder to find products to do so. But if I find some here again I make it for around 1.50 -2.00 a gallon
