First Project in General Finishes Milk Paint.

by Martha Leone Design

My top three reasons to use this paint: It's super smooth and doesn't need sanding after application; It's opaque and didn't require more than two coats; It dries quickly to a super matte finish. Before trying this paint, I was interested to know if it would perform differently than chalk paint. Based on my limited experience with it, I would say the main distinguishing feature is that this dries to a very smooth finish without sanding.
This piece was sealed it with Varathane Satin Poly with brush and had minimal brush marks after the poly dried. The paint color is General Finishes Driftwood.

  @Lisa House Hi Lisa: Go to their website: www.generalfinishes.com. There's a link at the top: "Where to Buy" and perhaps you will find a store that carries GF paint near you. If you're interested in taking a look at other GF projects I've done, here's one with a link to where you can buy it: http://marthaleonedesign.com/blog/2015/4/8/midcenturydesk
