I used Chalk Paint on my cabinets. You could use milk paint, but know that it is very chippy and unless you use a bonding agent the cabinets will chip more as used.
You can use milk paint for cabinets... there are several options and most will involve a bonding agent mixed in with the milk paint. Old Fashioned Milk Paint is a classic milk paint and you do need to apply Extra Bond if using on prefinished surfaces. Miss Mustard Seed also makes a milk paint and again, you'd have to use the bonding agent to make sure it adheres the way you want it to. My favorite choice for cabinets or a milk paint product where you want ease of use and control of the finishes is General Finishes Milk Paint. Their paint is already mixed in liquid form and goes on smooth; can be sprayed, brushed or rolled. It does not require priming and they have some great colors to choose from. They also have a lot of glazes that can be applied to change the color. All water based. It can be sealed with wax or polyacrylic to finish (probably the better choice for cabinets). I hope that helps!! Can't wait to see what you do.
