Rust-Oleum331050 Milk Paint Finish, Quart, Highland Blue

I was a little hesitant to purchase as it was my first time using milk paint. Unlike chalk paint, it may require an extra layer or two.Product dries fast and there is barely any odour. I used a bunch of different brushes and found nylon worked best for me with this product.

Refurbshing the wooden parts of my old sofa set.

I couldn't believe how little paint I used to paint my china hutch. I applied it in a very thin layer brushing back and forth in a crosshatch pattern and the finish is beautiful. It's been pretty durable too. It is a mat finish but wipes clean easily.

This is how i got the product. Full waste.

I was hesitant to try "milk paint" in general. A friend spoke highly of it so I thought I'd try it. I chose Rustoleum because I've used various types of their paint and trust the name. My friend said that Milk paint in general is really thick and covers in one coat. Not this... it's the usual consistency of other paints. There is a very low odor component which is great, but there is a hint of a smell. Clean up is fantastic. Just sprayed my paint brush, etc with the hose. I'm not sure I'll like the finish. It's very flat and after two coats I can see where I may missed some spots and will need to touch up. It does streak and you'll have to be consistent in application. Long smooth strokes. The color was great, that green/blue. I also bought the wax to apply over it after it cures a while. The wax is suppose to give a slight sheen and "seal" the paint for better durability. I think it may be easier than regular enamel paint, faster drying time, low odor. We'll see how it wears...
