SAY HELLO TO MILK PAINT BY FUSION – it’s not what you think! Let us demystify this ancient paint used for thousands of years to create timeless long-lasting pieces. Milk paint is one of the oldest paints in the world, having been used by many cultures for millennia. It’s made from milk protein and natural pigments, so it’s environmentally friendly and non-toxic.
Milk paint is also easy to use; you can mix it yourself with water and stir! It really is that easy. It comes in a variety of colours, and you can even create your own custom shades. Plus, milk paint can give the furniture a beautiful, distressed look that’s perfect for adding character to any room. So if you’re looking for an eco-friendly and stylish way to refinish your furniture, try using milk paint!
We’re flipping the perception of milk paint on its head with these 28 Happy Hues.
A new line of curated mix-and-go shades designed to bring an instant boost of colour to your space. It really is Milk paint, made modern.
So what actually is Milk Paint and how does it differ from other paints on the market?
- It produces a look and feels like no other paint, from a smooth and refined finish to a rustic chippy distressed look.
- Only real Milk Paint comes in powder giving you this unique look. Watch out for the pre-mixed copycats on the market that do not yield these same results such as the chippy look.
- It comes in powder – just mix it with water. Unused powder can be stored indefinitely!
- It’s your turn to get creative and achieve any look from a stain to a textured finish with one product, you’re in control simply by how much water you add.
- No brush strokes. Really, none! It mixes to thin paint, so it self-levels flawlessly.
- To bring out the true intensity of the colour and protect the paint from watermarking, add a top coat of your choice. We suggest Wax or Hemp Oil for most projects. Stain & Finishing Oil is great for kitchen tables or cabinets for a more resistant finish.
- It will never chip or peel when applied to a porous surface such as bare wood or plaster.
- Get the unique chippy look only doable with Milk Paint. This will only happen when painting onto a surface with a previously finished coating or wax.
- It can be applied to laminate plastic, metal or glass by adding the Bonding Agent.
