    Milk Paint Colour Mixing

    Custom Mix Your Own Milk Paint Colour

    Are you ready to unleash your inner artist and transform your furniture into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece? Fusion’s Milk Paint empowers you to create any custom paint colour and achieve a truly unique finish and colour. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of mixing your very own milk paint colour using Fusion products, ensuring your project stands out as a work of art.

    Supplies You’ll Need:

    1. 1 bag of Fusion Milk Paint in Vintage Laurel
    2. 1 bag of Fusion Milk Paint in Silver Screen
    3. Mixing cup
    4. Clear furniture wax
    5. Hemp oil
    6. TSP alternative
    7. Fusion workshop brush
    8. Sanding pad

    Prepare Your Piece

    Begin by removing any hardware from your furniture piece. To ensure a clean canvas for your custom colour, thoroughly clean the piece with a TSP alternative. This step sets the stage for your personalized milk paint creation.

    Apply Clear Wax for Distressing

    For a creative touch, apply clear wax strategically to the areas where you want the milk paint to create a resist! This will stop the milk paint from adhering to those spots creating a distinctive finish. Focus on spots like large chunks or high edges, which will contribute to the unique character of your piece.

    Layer Your Custom Milk Paint

    With your personalized paint colour ready, apply the first coat over your furniture piece. This initial layer provides the base for the unique finish you’re aiming for. Allow it to dry for about 30 minutes. For depth and character, apply a second, even coat of your custom milk paint blend. Let it dry for another 30 minutes. Patience during the drying process ensures your creation turns out just as you envisioned.

    Seal and Enhance

    Seal your project with hemp oil to protect the finish and enhance its colours and texture. This essential step brings out the true beauty of your custom milk paint colour. After applying the hemp oil, gently remove any excess with a lint-free cloth or towel. This ensures a smooth, polished finish that showcases your unique creation.

    Distress for Distinctiveness

    To craft a truly one-of-a-kind look, focus on distressing the areas that would naturally experience wear and tear over time. Concentrate on hinges, door handles, corners, and furniture legs. Think about all the places it would get natural wear over years of being touched. This step adds a personal touch to your piece and highlights the individuality of your custom colour.
