I wanted to share a couple project I have done with General Finishes Milk Paint {GFMP}.  The thing I LOVE about this paint is that….

– It comes premixed in a can

– The coverage is awesome

– It gives you a satin finish

It is a totally different look than Chalk Paint™ or Old Fashioned Milk Paint.

I didn’t sand or prime either of these projects.  They actually both were painted with Chalk Paint™ and I just applied GFMP on top, then distressed and sealed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The above was done with General Finishes Lamp Black on top of Chalk Paint™ and then the top coat is Van Dan Beeswax.

The below was done with General Finishes BASIL over Chalk Paint™ , distressed and the sealed with Annie Sloan Clear wax.

  1. we enjoy using General Finishes products, as well. I find it has better coverage than powdered milk paint, and it does have a lovely finish! Your pieces look great…Basil is one of my favorites, along with Bayberry!

  2. Hey Kelly, will you be selling the General Finishes Paint at the barn sales?! I would love to try some and the Frederick location is convenient for me!
