Review on 1 Quart of General Finishes Lamp Black Water-Based Milk Paint by Shima Hennigan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks bad until dry

I have painted 2 dressers this color including drawers. I needed two shifts. in everything except boxes. I probably would have had enough work on the boxes, but I did fun galaxy colors over black so a second coat of paint on top wasn't necessary. The first coat was too streaky/thin for my liking, but after the second coat it was such a nice satin finish with no brush marks that I was very impressed. The main reason I tried milk paint for the first time was because I had heard it had no odor and was almost odorless. A fan in the room and an open window or 2 is all you really need for that. However, I officially recommend only painting outside in a well-ventilated area. I have a mask for paint fumes and stuff from my other hobbies so window and fan were enough for me :)

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not suitable for everything
