I have never used milk paint before. Do you need to strip/sand all the wood before painting with it?

It is best applied to raw or sanded wood - but can be applied to clean painted surfaces too. It is a primitive paint that does great on lots of difference surfaces. Have fun with it!

If you are talking about chalk paint, you can paint over any surface.

READ the instructions on the can. Paint technology is very fast paced right now. What was the instructions 6 months ago, may not be the instructions now, because of the latest technology that has gone into the manufacture of the paint on the shelves now & especially in the future.
