General Finishes Milk Paint in Westminster Green is a premixed, water-based acrylic furniture paint with a flat, low-luster sheen that mimics old-world painted furniture. General Finishes says it is not a true milk paint: it has no casein ingredients, it is self-sealing, and it does not need a topcoat. It is rated for interior and exterior use on cabinets, trim, doors and furniture, over raw wood or previously finished surfaces. This is the 1 pint can.
Buy one can, no case minimum. $5.99 shipping, free at $35+, no code needed (lower 48 + DC). 30-day returns on unused, unopened items; opened paint can't be returned. See our shipping policy and refund policy.
Best for: painted cabinets, furniture, doors and trim in Westminster Green, indoors or out. GF rates Milk Paint for interior and exterior use, and it is self-sealing.

No. General Finishes Milk Paint is self-sealing. For high-use surfaces, GF recommends up to 3 coats of a GF water-based topcoat such as High Performance. GF warns not to use any clear topcoat over white or light Milk Paint colors, since it may yellow over wood.
Allow 2+ hours between coats and before a topcoat at 70 F and 50% humidity, longer when humidity is over 80% or coats are thick. GF's test: the coat is dry when light sanding makes powder.
No. General Finishes named it Milk Paint for its low-luster, old-world look, but it is a premixed acrylic with no casein, so there is no powder to mix.
Yes. General Finishes says Milk Paint can be intermixed with other GF Milk Paint and Glaze Effects colors to create custom colors.
Yes. GF rates Milk Paint as an exterior finish and says a topcoat is not required outside.
Yes. We offer 30-day returns on unused, unopened items. Opened paint can't be returned.

Complete the finish: Westminster Green is self-sealing, but for high-use surfaces like tabletops and kitchen cabinets GF suggests 2-3 coats of a water-based topcoat over darker colors, such as General Finishes High Performance Topcoat, Clear Satin, Quart ($41.50). Two pints of Westminster Green plus that topcoat quart come to $96.78, which clears our $35 free-shipping line. GF caution, from its Milk Paint page: “Do NOT use any type of clear topcoat over white or light GF Milk Paint Colors, as it may cause yellowing when used over wood substrates.”
To add depth over Westminster Green, glaze over the Milk Paint, then topcoat: General Finishes Glaze Effects, Burnt Umber, Quart.
