Old Fashioned Milk Paint, Barn Red

Authentic ~ Durable ~ Beautiful ~ Safe

Barn Red is EN71-3 certified, so safe to use on children's toys

Beloved of woodworkers, furniture restorers, artisans, crafters and upcyclers to reproduce an authentic period finish on wood and porous surfaces, Old Fashioned Milk Paint is perfect for painting furniture, wooden boxes or decorations to achieve vintage colour in a flat finish. Milk Paint is the most colour durable paint available on porous materials, and is also ideal for aging techniques such as distressing, chipping or crackling. It can be sealed with our flat varnish, wax or oil. Milk Paint arrives in powder form to be mixed with water, and can be made up in small or large batches. It is available in 20 historic base colours, but you can mix them together to achieve hundreds of shades, or lighten any colour with Snow White.
