Milk Paint - Seagull Gray

General Finishes Milk Paint, Quart, Seagull Gray

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.

"I had a client who wanted a "dirty gray two toned look" so I mixed Driftwood & Millstone for the darker shade, then Seagull Gray & Millstone for the lighter. I enhanced it all with Van Dyke Glaze and 3 coats of HPTC in flat! Perfect! Everyone who saw it loved it so I carried that look onto these 3 tables for another client. I love everything about GF products." - 4 Heaven's Sake

 The builder grade oak cabinets are original to the home which was built in 2007. Solid cabinets so there’s no reason to rip them out when I knew I could transform them.

Prep is ESSENTIAL to ANY transformation! I removed all the doors, hardware and hinges. I normally use TSP but was out so I used my 2nd favorite cleaner, ‘Greased Lightning’. You name it, it gets it off!  I scrubbed them and used a tooth brush in the corners where nearly a decade worth of gunk was in. I rinsed them...

This dresser went from drab to fab!  This is a custom mixed color consisting of 60% GF Millstone Milk Paint, 20% Snow White and 20% Seagull Gray. Quite the transformation!
