Milk Paint - Driftwood

General Finishes Milk Paint, Quart, Driftwood

General Finishes Milk Paint is a premium interior/exterior mineral based paint named for its low-luster sheen, which mimics the look of old-world furniture paint. It is not a powdered, casein-based milk paint, but a premixed modern version that is so durable it does not require a topcoat unless you want to increase the sheen.

"Holy cow this was a lot of doors!!! Over 60 pieces, 2 sprayers, and 4 onsite painters later it’s complete. This kitchen is in General Finishes Alabaster and Driftwood, such a pretty combo.
