General Finishes Milk Paint Snow White - Quart - Furniture Paint
General Finishes Milk Paint Snow White - Quart - Furniture Paint
The chalk-style paint that actually holds up on cabinets - Snow White in a modern water-based formula that lays down like old-world furniture paint without the fragility of traditional casein milk paint.
What it does:
General Finishes Milk Paint is a water-based acrylic mineral-based paint engineered for furniture and cabinet-grade durability. Unlike powdered casein-based milk paints that chip and require waxing, this premixed formula is self-sealing, UV resistant, and rated for both interior and exterior use. It adheres directly to raw or pre-finished wood, fiberglass, PVC, vinyl, and most composite materials without a bonding primer. A topcoat is optional - use GF High Performance Topcoat if you want to bump sheen or add heavy-use protection.
