Few finishes have the built-in sense of history as milk paint. Made from milk protein, pigment, and lime, this type of paint dates back to pre-recorded history. It smells like mud and doesn't feel anything like the modern latex paints most of us are familiar with today. That said, it actually provides a fairly durable finish and when topcoated, it's just as good as any other painting method you might come up with.
Since many folks are looking for "greener" topcoats, milk paint serves as a very reasonable option. It's environmentally friendly, all natural, and non-toxic. In fact, you could make your own in your kitchen if you felt so inclined.
The Pumpkin-colored milk paint I'm using is from the Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company. In this video, you'll see us using the product for the first time and while there's a little more to it than latex paint, the learning curve isn't steep. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
One of the big surprise you should be prepared for is how ugly the paint looks after the first coat. It usually takes a few coats to build up a good solid color. The paint dries to a nice matte finish and if you want more protection and a bit more lustre, topcoat with a nice water-based polyurethane. I recommend matte or satin to help keep it looking like milk paint.
Also note that depending on the substrate you use, you might need to use an additional product called Extra Bond. Simply add it to the first coat of paint to ensure proper bonding to less-porous materials.

Hahaahahah Marc, just saw the hairy arms and wig. Funny stuff!
Chris K it was disturbing
The sanding part was hilarious!
Yeah, funny how hairy your wife's arms are... and she has the exact same tattoos on her upper arms as you do!
A true milk paint is not only water resistant but can last hundreds of years on a house. My great grandfather painted his house in 1882 with milk paint he made himself. The house has not been painted since and looks like it was painted yesterday.
+nunya biznez lime white wash is made with tallow and rock or quick lime.....slightly different.milk is exterior and grows mouldy if not enough lime.
101% bullshit
That's amazing 😮
Nicely explained, enjoyed the video.
Nice Wig Marc, funny stuff.
You had me for about a second... I was like wow, Nicole's arms are buff! And hairy... and tattooed... wait... ohhhhhhh....
Looks great Mark
Jon Peters Art & Home - the wife with the tats or the workpiece??
I'm kidding... What I have used is something even MORE basic. It's called Iron Oxide. Basically it's rust from factories that is mixed with pigment to give it any color you want. This is basically a stain that is mixed by dumping it into a 5 gallon bucket and mixed for a minute. You can dip wood into it, bush it on or use a sprayer for large fences or whole plywood. You can leave it as-is or put a protective coating over the top. I once saw a farmer spraying his fence deep red with it. He just walked along with a chemical hand sprayer and crudely sprayed it all. Looked good.
+umaxen01 some rocks are full of red oxide and work well strained.
May seem trivial but i have been having alot of difficulty ensuring my mitre saw is square both horizontally and vertically when in the 0 and 90 degree locked positions respectively. I would like to know hof often you check your alignment and how you make any adjustments.
nice color i didnt know about milk color good to know i like that way u explain on you videos
Actually, three things changed before applying the second coat. The third being the round bowl.
I'm looking to paint my interior trim with milk paint and I'm looking to keep sanding down to a minimum. Will this paint work without sanding the clear coat and can you bypass sanding in between coats if using a roller?
I was looking at the difference between milk paint and chalk paint... And I think there is less faffing about with chalk paint for a start it's ready mixed but I guess each to their own...
You can buy ready mixed milk paint
He's referring to the fact that Polyurethane is oil based, but what he failed to take into account the there are products, that are hybrids a polyurethane that as both an oil and water base. If he doesn't know this I'd be glad to point him to a couple of top coats that are.
He used water based poly coat. It's liquid plastic.
@@brookelyn1220 does that make the wood shiny as if it had been laquered?
@@djbigdaff122 you can get matte finish. Or different levels of gloss.
You both are hilarious! Love this
So funny thinking ur wife was sanding but it was u with a wig on lol
Marc,
Could you please explain any benefits to milk paint over the other choices out on the market? You go through some of the difficulties of using it, which makes it seem like a strictly inferior product. Thanks
No such thing as inferior when it comes to aesthetics. Seen the chalk board paint women are going nuts over? We would like to think the firewood we build will stand the test of time and impress everyone who gazes upon it, but some people see it as possibly looking like an orange crate with the right amount of cheap paint, to help frame their plants or whatever..
+Mark Gunther its a true traditional.....white wash.
Well, it's non-toxic, doesn't smell, dries fast, tougher than most or all modern paints, sticks to bare wood like a stain, sands well, weathers better than most modern paints. You can make it in your kitchen with some milk, citric acid and handfull of rust scraped off the bumper of your truck.
She got paint on your table!!! :)
Nicole has some guns 😆 must be all the sanding.
way to go wife and thanks mark for all your info
Excellent voice-over [voice].
Where did you get the little toy woodworking machines?
Loved this video yall done a good good
I meant to say good job
Can Milk Paint be used in a sprayyer?
Hey, you both have the same tattoo, cool
I never knew Nicole had such tattooed and hairy arms.
What grit sandpaper did you use on the first coat?
Depends on how rough it is. Go with the finest grit that gets the surface smooth. I used 220.
you don't need the acrylic product if it is real milk paint. It works out door so.. But it takes a week to be totaly dry and doesn't come off. But I'm missing the lin seed oil...
Can you apply a topcoat over white milk paint? I know white paints tend to yellow with a topcoat
+Anthony Pantalone Yup. I'd recommend something water-based though to avoid changing the color too much.
+Anthony Pantalone its anti bacterial.... from the lime....but needs refreshing each year or two....go get clear varnish.
very nice
Dosn't the milk start to smell?
Can you put an oil based Polyurethane over the Milk paint?
That's a real useful comment
Did the boy approve the new colour?
Dang Nicole’s really buff!!!
Why posting old video again?
Your wife is really pretty, especially when watching her sand.
Haley she got nice arms
You guys are hilarious, that’s a sweet blonde wig with your man arms! 😂🤣
Milk paint 100 makes your arm hair grow.
Lol that's pretty awesome lol
where can i find a woman with arms like that ? I knew a healthy polish gal bu she had no interest in working in my shop!
Kefir paint.
+Savvas Papasavva and that means what...?

The way he talks to her like she's a child..
Dobro pozz ih BIH
nice job on the chest
Just a protip: The guest's eyes should be looking in one of two places: at the host, or at the subject being discussed. You should be looking at the hosts eyes or the paint/wood/whatever is on the table--not at the camera or wandering around the room. And turn your head. You cut your eyes too much. America's Test Kitchen on PBS is a good example. It's gonna feel odd (VERY ODD) but it will produce a better show. For example, at 1:03. you look at his face then drop your eyes. Don't do this. Plus. If SHE is doing the work, SHE should do the VO. And I got the joke at 2:33.
+kellerrobert80 to be honest, for the amount of time Nicole spends in front of the camera with me, I can't say it's exactly worth her time to worry about where her eyes are looking. Sure it would make for a more professional TV-style presentation, but we're not on TV and we're not professional "hosts." The joy of being on the internet is that we don't have to adhere to the same rules as television. I could hop on one leg with my pants down while looking around the room and as long as the video is informative and entertaining, it will do well.
Who the cares? Keep it simple. It's a tutorial. 🙄
What the heck are with these videos? Mixing powder and milk is not how one makes milk paint!
Typical man. He don't agree.....so makes the lady do it on her own
