Sweet Pickins Milk
Paint is a true milk paint which comes in a powder form. Our Milk Paint
is environmentally safe, non-toxic and is food safe. There is a slight milky
odor when it is applied, but it is completely odorless when dry. Our milk
paint is 100% VOC free and is made with all natural earth materials.
– To make the
paint, you simply mix the powder with warm water. How far the paint goes
will depend upon your painting technique, how thick/thin you mix the paint, how
many coats you do and the contrast between the color your are painting compared
to the piece your are painting.

– Add Extra Bond
when painting over a nonporous or previously finished/painted piece of
furniture. The Extra – Bond will ensure adhesion and give you better
control over chipping. I highly recommend to always have the Extra Bond
on hand when using milk paint. Milk paint is known for its
unpredictability when not using the Extra Bond.
– Because milk
paint comes in a powder form, you can control how thick/thin you mix the
paint. You can use it as you would regular paint, thinner for a
wash/stain or thicker to create texture.
– Milk Paint can naturally chip or crackle when applied over some existing
finishes. This can result in an authentic look reminiscent of a
chippy/aged/timeworn piece of furniture.
– Sweet Pickins Milk Paint colors can be mixed together to achieve your own
custom colors. You can also add white to lighten or black to
darken. Remember to keep your ratios if you want to recreate the color!
– Sweet Pickins Milk Paint can be top coated with any available product on the
market, we have several options for you here! To protect milk paint
from water spots and make it easier to clean, it must be top coated.
– Many variations in color and texture naturally occur on milk painted pieces
and this is completely normal. These unique variations which only come
with true milk paint, add depth and dimension to each project.
– You can use the same techniques for distressing and glazing milk paint as you
would any other paint. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
