Classic White Milk Paint Finish | Decor and Furniture Applications | Matte Finish Brushed Effect | Minimal Prep Needed | No Primers Required | Easy Clean Up | Quart

Writing this review on my husband's account. I recently refinished our old piano and an old mirror we have. I originally wanted to use a chalk paint since it's very forgiving and easy to use, but have this milk paint a try because I could not find a navy blue chalk paint that was this rich in color. I'm so glad I went with my gut and picked up this milk paint. It's very easy to use and was already the thin consistency that I make my chalk paint before use (I add a cookie couple sprays of water to my chalk paint before use to get a smoother consistency.) Because it's thinner, I did need to use at least three coats of milk paint to get the same opacity as I would have with two coats of chalk paint, but this was not an issue for me. If anything, it was more forgiving because if I had any paint that pooled up and left paint globs, it was so easy to sand it off before the next coat. I experienced this with the piano because of all the tiny crevasses, but it really wasn't hard to fix. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the results of both the piano and mirror. For reference, I used five coats of paint on the piano (could've stopped at three, but the piano gets heavy use) and three coats on the mirror. I still have about a fifth of the can left, so I have enough to paint a small piece of furniture. Some tips: 1.) Don't be alarmed when you open the can and the paint looks bright blue; it dries to this deep, gorgeous navy color. 2.) If your piece is shiny, sand it with a medium grit sand paper to give the paint something to grip to. 3.) Use synthetic brushes; the coverage is just much better and easier to work with. 4.) You can use polycrylic as a top coat, but I used Jolie furniture wax as a top coat (also on Amazon); not only has it held up well, but it gave the piano and mirror and even richer color and great, smooth texture. Guests can't help but touch the piano because of how stunning it looks. 5.) If you paint a piano like I did, please don't paint the back/sound board, as this will compromise the sound. 6.) Have fun! This paint was very forgiving and easy to use! The can of paint was shipped securely; no issues with shipping like others have experienced. I posted multiple photos so you can see the paint in different lighting (lights vs natural.)

Beautiful black, transformed my kitchen, just needed to seal after painting with polyurethane to reduce chipping, holding up great ! The prep was easy too, I washed the cupboards with krud kutter soap and lightly hand sanded.

The Rust-Oleum Milk Paint Finish in Eclipse is a fantastic product for achieving a beautiful, vintage-style look with minimal effort. Milk paint has always been my go-to for furniture refinishing, and this one did not disappoint. The best qualities of milk paint shine through: it provides excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including wood, metal, and even previously painted pieces, with little to no prep work. The velvety matte finish adds a touch of elegance while enhancing the natural texture of the surface. It’s also low odor and fast-drying, which is a big plus for indoor projects. This particular shade, Eclipse, is a rich, deep color that looks stunning on both large furniture pieces and small decorative items. The paint is easy to apply and layers beautifully for a distressed or solid look, depending on your preference. Highly recommend for anyone looking to refresh furniture or add a timeless, rustic charm to their home decor! I used it as the base coat on the table, before painting it white and then distressing.

This is my 3rd time ordering this. It is mist definitely my favorite black paint. I live the chalky matted finish, I have used it on 5 dressers,night stands, crafts, chairs, bed frame, dining table. I can't get enough of it. It applies well and had great coverage after just 2 coats (thats with no prep on surface other than cleaning i didnt even sand a couple pieces) adhere well and actually doesnt clean to bad. Ita also easy to touch up pieces after a couple years of use or a chip or scratch.

I was hesitant to try "milk paint" in general. A friend spoke highly of it so I thought I'd try it. I chose Rustoleum because I've used various types of their paint and trust the name. My friend said that Milk paint in general is really thick and covers in one coat. Not this... it's the usual consistency of other paints. There is a very low odor component which is great, but there is a hint of a smell. Clean up is fantastic. Just sprayed my paint brush, etc with the hose. I'm not sure I'll like the finish. It's very flat and after two coats I can see where I may missed some spots and will need to touch up. It does streak and you'll have to be consistent in application. Long smooth strokes. The color was great, that green/blue. I also bought the wax to apply over it after it cures a while. The wax is suppose to give a slight sheen and "seal" the paint for better durability. I think it may be easier than regular enamel paint, faster drying time, low odor. We'll see how it wears...

First off, this paint applied really nicely. I used it on my oak bathroom cabinets after I cleaned, lightly sanded, and used a de-glosser wipe. I applied three coats and the finished product was as it should be. My only problem is that the white isn't really like a bright white as I had hoped. It almost had a greyish tint to it. With that said, it didn't work for my bathroom and I ended up going another route. I would def try using this product though on other projects. Very easy to use and a little goes a long way! I did three coats to my 60" wide by 21" deep vanity and used only about 1/2 of a quart, if that.

This paint is as expected….high quality, easy to apply with a nice matte finish.

Refurbshing the wooden parts of my old sofa set.

Colour was more like a light grey not white when applied to the furniture

I don’t have much to compare to given this was my first time painting furniture. I see some reviews comparing it to chalk paint. I decided on this type of paint because I did not want to seal it. Paint was easy to use and forgiving. No sanding or prep work. It took four coats of paint. I initially used a brush than roller. One can or quart of paint was plenty. I still have more than a quarter left over. Finish is flat which I like. I am very pleased with the result! Handles are also from Amazon! Adjustable for the odd size. My handles were 3.5 inches and very difficult to find.

The experience with this product made me feel more confident to refinish more of my furniture in the future; it dried super quickly, the coverage was amazing, and the color is beautiful. I'll definitely be buying another one!
