A quart of General Finishes Seagull Gray Milk Paint covers 100 to 125 sq ft per coat. It earns its place on many jobs as an undercoat: GF names Seagull Gray as the high-hide layer to put under Snow White, and says a single base coat of it may block the brown cast of MDF. As a finish color it suits painted cabinets, furniture, doors and trim indoors or out, and at 100.30 it is one of the most opaque colors on GF's contrast chart.

Seagull Gray also stands on its own as a finish. It dries flat with a low 10 to 15 sheen, touch-dry in 30+ minutes and ready to recoat in 2+ hours. GF warns that water-based topcoats over white and light colors can yellow, so test before sealing a light gray.

Why put Seagull Gray under Snow White? General Finishes says laying down a coat of a similar, high-opacity paint first cuts the number of coats, and gives Seagull Gray under Snow White as its example.
Can Seagull Gray stop MDF showing brown? GF says one base coat of Seagull Gray Milk Paint may block the brown tone that MDF can cause. Let each coat on MDF dry at least 48 hours before recoating.
How well does Seagull Gray hide? It scored 100.30 in GF's contrast ratio test, second only to Queenstown Gray (100.50) among the Milk Paint colors GF lists.
