Did you mean milk paint? It's a very old/traditional way of making paint that is quite durable. I've seen it on walls and on furniture. I think you can buy modern paints that have the same look, but are not actually made with milk.
Are you talking about milk paint? Milk paint is an old time paint product use milk cassein and pigments, finished usually with boiled linseed oil. It developes a nice patina with age. And it wears like cast iron. Before the chalk paint craze..... we had the milk paint craze like Mrs. Mustard Seeds is a popular brand. But you can totally make it yourself. I had a couple real old farm pieces from 30s that were milk paint and I loved the look of it, so I learned how to do it.
Milk was used as a base for paint 200 years ago, as the naturally occurring casein in milk is a bonding agent, causing the paint to adhere after it dried. There has been no casein used in paint manufacturing, probably for the past 50+ years, as the chemical industry exploded after WW2. There is "milk paint" available at a paint store, but is has no milk or casein in it.
